My mum moved into Manor Cottage as a resident last November 2016 she had previously stayed there on two short respite stays. Since moving in permanently mum has been moved into a lovely ground floor room which was considered safer for her. The staff have completed a file about her (with my help and
mums) she has been registered with and seen the GP. There is a full schedule of activities and day trips that mum takes part in and the staff, food quality, cleanliness and care are excellent. Mum is very happy.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A clean, friendly care home situated in a fine Bristol location.
The staff are friendly and caring and do their best to entertain residents.
My father is well looked after and it's amazing to see pictures prior to his coming into the care home. He looks 100 percent better, well fed with 24-hour care
service.
His room is kept clean but improvements to swap bath for showers in private rooms could be made.

When living in her little flat, mum was often anxious and sad, Since living in Manor Cottage, mum has become more confident, cheerful and sociable. The indicates to me that mum is treated with respect, dignity and care.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Every time I visit my relative in The Manor Cottage the staff are always friendly and courteous. I am always offered a cup of tea when the residents have their tea break. I am also offered lunch or supper if I am there at those times. The home is always clean and tidy as is my relative's room and bathroom.
It is always warm and well lit. There are many activities for the residents and resident's birthdays are celebrated. My relative has been on a few outings organised by Manor Cottage. There is the annual Xmas party and I have always been impressed with the entertainment and the food provided.

Mum has been at the home for almost a year and she is very happy there. The staff are friendly and caring and she feels safe and looked after. She loves her room and has made good friends. The staff are always welcoming when family visit and we have peace of mind knowing that she is being cared for.

I was there for one week's respite care at the beginning of October. I have been to several homes for respite care but have found this home very friendly and exceptionally clean. The staff couldn't do more for you.

Review from Virginia A (Friend of Resident) published on 31 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Visited my friend several times and she appears to be very happy. I found all the staff very helpful and friendly and all extremely welcoming. The residents were clean and looked well cared for and all seemed happy. My friend said the meals were very good and in the two weeks she was there, they all
went out for a meal nearby. I would certainly recommend the home to any future resident and one thing I noticed, it did not smell like an old people's home.

The staff's warmth and reassurance to both my father and myself helped to put our minds at rest about respite care. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Professional care with dignity and respect for my father and our family. Thank you.

Review from Esther N (Niece of Resident) published on 22 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle became a resident at Manor Cottage earlier in the year. We reviewed the home before he moved in and found the staff to be very friendly and efficient. There was a lovely atmosphere and we felt that all the staff went the extra mile to make life as enjoyable as possible for the residents. My
uncle stayed in a room while there and his food was of the highest standard. Unfortunately, he became very ill but the staff could not have been more helpful and really looked after him well! I cannot recommend Manor Cottage highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Manor Cottage is an excellent care home. My mother occasionally grumbled about her meals but also said on the whole, they were excellent. My mother's health improved dramatically during her stay at Manor Cottage. She became quite attached to the caring staff and wants to go back to visit them all. She
found her room felt small but that was because she was used to her own home. She loved being able to look out over the well-appointed garden.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum spent one week respite in Manor Cottage, It was the first time that she had done this, and we were a little concerned how she would get on. She said that the staff was really nice and very kind to her. Nothing was too much trouble, and she felt at home there.
Although she chose to stay mainly
in her room, she was happy and contented. She did comment how lovely the food was, and after a week there, her appetite, which was down a bit when she first went in, had come back. So we were very pleased about this.

The staff here have done everything possible to make my mother feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble.


The staff are very patient and kind, and always listen if you have any issues to discuss. I do feel that dad has a better quality of life, and is more sociable since he has been at Manor Cottage.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.879)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10 for Manor Cottage Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.879 for Manor Cottage Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.879
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Manor Cottage Residential Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
