The Cottage Nursing Home

I was very sceptical about nursing homes after some very challenging experiences, but this home restored my faith in good care! I'm so grateful to the manager and all the staff for their continued care, compassion and enthusiasm! This home is 10/10.

I'm very pleased with the place, very professional..

I would definitely recommend this nursing home

My mom was at this care home for 3 and a half years but she passed away in October 2025. My mom was well looked after and they looked after me too. The care is very good here and the management also. Thank you to Tinu and his team for being there for all of us and without rushing us when mom passed.

Overall we're quite satisfied Mom is in the best place for her .

My cousin has been a resident at the care home since June 2025. Whilst she has found it difficult to accept she now needs permanent residential care, the management and care staff have made strenuous efforts to help her settle in and feel she is in a safe and friendly environment which is her home. My dealings with all members of staff have been positive, and I always feel they are enthusiastic in their role. They strive to create a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, and the entertainment team encourage residents to participate in activities on a daily basis. The Xmas decorations are excellent. In summary, I feel my cousin is in a safe place, and is being well looked after.

Cannot say enough good things about the cottage. From top to bottom it's a great place and feels like a family run home , not a care home. The staff are amazing and treat dad so well. They are also brilliant when my kids come with me and look after them too. Thank you

My sister in law moved into the Cottage Nursing home three weeks ago. Everyone I have interacted with from the Manager to the staff have been very welcoming and supportive. The Manager has explained ways that we can work together to ensure my sister in law has the best experience and his staff have communicated a caring attitude in what can be an anxious time. Well done to you all.

Our mother spent over 6 years in The Cottage until she died on 5th October 2025. The care she received throughout was brilliant, the managers and staff couldn't have done more to make mom feel comfortable. The review process asks that we don't mention any names but the present and past managers and carers have been totally professional. They have always been approachable and happy to discuss mom's care regime and provide updates as needed. Despite the huge stress they were under during Covid, the manager and staff did a superb job in keeping the residents, staff and visitors as safe as possible. Mom also had various hospital appointments and the Cottage arranged these and provided staff, where needed, to accompany her. Mom passed away during the night, but the staff on duty did everything they could to care for her in her final hours and to notify us straight away. This was a great comfort to us. We would thoroughly recommend the Cottage to all residents and their families.

My nan has been in the home for 7 years staff are very dedicated to their job and friendly and outstanding. The new manager is always approachable and will deal with any concerns. It's home from home, so comforting and a great home to live in, my nan has always said it's the best place to live. I would recommend the cottage for anyone's loved ones to live in

Mom has been living here since June and we couldn't be happier at how well she has settled in, the nurses are brilliant and treat her with respect and dignity, the activity staff are great also, finding fun things to keep residents occupied, pampering, singers, entertainment etc, the cleaners do a great job keeping the whole home lovely and tidy, the maintenance man is on hand too, all moms meals look tasty especially her desserts which she loves, and the office staff are really friendly and helpful, the manager treats the residents as extended family, he is always polite and good humoured and does a fantastic job along with all the people who work there.Thankyou all.

My mom has been at The Cottage for coming up to 2 years. When first entering it had a homely atmosphere, management were very approachable and staff were lovely. Mom settled in well and we were encouraged to bring things from her bungalow to make her room homely. Then management changed, and things went south a little. Staff seemed deflated as agency staff were being used more. The home had no activity team anymore so this was left to carers who were stretched thin anyway. Then T the new manager came along and my word what a change. Full of enthusiasm, knowledge and an overwhelming desire to change things . New full time staff, new activity staff. The lounges are buzzing with activities for the residents.The carers have bounces back in their steps.The homely feel was back. It is a fantastic manager and classes residents, staff and family members as his family. The office door is always open with any concerns you may have. My mom is very well looked after and loved by all.

My father arrived at the Cottage Nursing Home after fracturing his hip twice within the matter of weeks, during his stay in the local hospital he began to give way a little due to his dementia and not being fully mobile- which was something he enjoyed for nearly 92 years. I was most concerned at his low mood and explained to the staff who immediately made him feel welcome and included in everything, within a week he had started to take interest once again in his appearance and was eating and drinking quite happily.

Thank you all and I would not hesitate in recommending this facility to anyone who values their loved ones and has been forced to take a Care Home Option.

The new manager is very approachable and listens to you always asks if tgere are any concerns but we dont have any.

A big thank you to all, keep up the good work you are all doing a wonderful job

A big thank to all the lovely, caring staff.

I have taken my mom to The Cottage Nursing Home today for a respite care stay. What lovely staff they have. Everyone has gone out of their way to make mom feel very welcome and at home. I was expecting mom to be adamant she wasn’t going to stay as she has in the past when I have attempted to leave her and I had prepared for upset before being able to leave. How surprised I was to find that she was laughing and looked so happy there. One of the members of staff was a joy, she was so bubbly and said just the right things to put us at ease. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, they were all tentative and obliging and I have left mom tucked up in bed watching TV. What a sense of relief I felt to be driving away knowing she is going to be cared for by such lovely people. Thank you to the matron and your lovely team.

I’ve been visiting my friend and I am very impressed with the staff and care provided. I Highly recommend this place.
