Review from Bridget C (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Dad moved to Hunter's Lodge a few weeks ago. They have made every effort to help him settle in and get to know his likes + needs. Staff are kind + attentive, the managers are approachable. They made a difficult transition from hospital as easy and quick as possible. Dad has settled well, he's calm and well cared for, such a relief for our family.

Reply from Sarah Hill, Registered Manager at Hunters Lodge Residential Care Home
Thank you so much for the review Bridget, we are so pleased to hear the positive comments and that you feel he has settled so well.

Review from Chris H (Husband of Resident) published on 13 July 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife has been in Hunters lodge since March 2025. She has very challenging needs, due to the lack of any mental capacity and very limited physical capability, however since she has been here the team have looked after her fantastically. I have been extremely pleased with the level of care from absolutely everyone. I have never had the need to raise any form of complaint and can not praise the facility high enough. An excellent service all round.

Overall Experience

From the first day my dad came here, we knew my dad was safe. It was such a struggle with social care, but they made it feel like a natural transition. It helped 'save' my mum, who was his carer. He is safe, clean and content at Hunters Lodge. Staff are now our family. Happy to discuss more :)

Overall Experience
Hunters Lodge has transformed this part of my dad's dementia journey. He is always clean when I go, and they even creatively manage to get his hair cut! My dad is treated with dignity and compassion at all times.

I see how the staff react sensitively to the challenges presented by many of the residents they also quietly treat every resident with the utmost care. I genuinely couldn't rate this place highly enough!

Since mum, Annie was brought into the residential she has picked up in both health and well-being, and it seems a dramatic improvement. Though she has some mobility issues, she is a changed woman, she loves all the staff and is so happy at Hunters Lodge. I am so pleased that mum is at her old self again. Many, many thanks.

Overall Experience
Hunters Lodge is a wonderful place. The decision to have mum here was an excellent one. The staff are so caring, giving every resident individual care and attention. My mums room is always spotlessly clean and smelling fresh.
The food looks very good too!

I'm made to feel welcome when I visit. Everyone goes above and beyond to create a wonderful place to live!

Review from John C (Husband of Resident) published on 29 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife, aged 89, has severe dementia. I selected this care home through recommendation, having visited many others. How I have received nothing but kindness, helpfulness and responsible hands. I now have no worries. Previously, when visiting this home, the staff always gave me a warm welcome, a cup of tea, and information about her care. I want nothing more. I am 93 years old.

My aunt's introduction to living at Hunters Lodge Residential Care Home has been superb! I can't thank the management team and all the care staff enough for their care and support in helping her to settle in so quickly. It has been wonderful to see her so relaxed, happy and so at ease with her new surroundings. You have all done an amazing job and I can't thank you enough.

Overall Experience

My dad has been at Hunters Lodge for nearly a year now. The care and support he receives is amazing, he always looks smart and well-kept with a smile on his face. He displays challenging behaviour during personal care and the staff are amazing with him. The communication between Hunters Lodge and myself is brilliant, I am kept informed of any concerns or problems. Keep up the amazing work.

Review from Lisa T (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The care my Father-in-Law has received from Hunters Lodge Residential Care Home, has been second to none. All the staff are friendly, approachable and provide the best possible care. It was not our choice to put our relative into a care home, circumstances made that for us, yet this has proved time and time again to have been the best decision. We know our family member is being well looked after and is always happy and well taken care of when we get to see him. Any problems we are contacted straight the way and the lines of communication are always open day or night. Five stars from us. We do think Hunters lodge has a friendly welcoming feel, that said it could do with updating in some areas, not that that reflects on the care given. Fantastic team and fantastic home.

Overall Experience

I cannot ever fault Hunters Lodge Residential Care Home. The care in this home is faultless. The staff are amazing and the Management are the best I have ever come across. Mum has been in two previous homes and neither of them met her needs. Mum settled in immediately and loves all the freshly made food they put in front of her. Mum is in her own happy world and loves the staff.

Review from Mark T (Son of Resident) published on 13 December 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
First rate. The staff are caring, kind and competent. Management is hands-on and effective. The home gives off a feeling of calm and my father is much happier than he was before.
The rooms are a reasonable size and the setting is gorgeous, with the church just over the lane. They have a visiting chiropodist and hairdresser, so everything is catered for. The main thing for me, however, is that the residents all seem comfortable and content, with strong medication being seldom used.

I don't hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend this service.

Every member of staff always have a smile on their face, as they deal with every situation with professionalism and respect. Always giving 100%, they make sure to deliver person-centred care, taking time to find strategies to match each service user's specific needs.

Hunters Lodge works hard to make the environment homely. The cooks take into account preferences and needs to tempt even the smallest of appetites. This care home puts safety and the service users' happiness at the core of everything they do.
