  • Thornton Hill, Skipton
Thornton Hill has recently been purchased and renovated (2025)to bring a modern 21st century feel to the 1870's manor house.

A lovely environment is only relevant if the staff are right.

The belief at Thornton Hill is that if staff can enjoy a happy work environment where they have the trust and resources to do their jobs to the best of their abilities, mixed with shining personalities, inevitably the care can be of the highest quality.

Thornton Hill aims for exceptional as standard and will always work tirelessly to ensure the elderly people residing there live fulfilled, happy lives.

Review from Julie M (Niece of Resident) published on 16 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On visiting my Aunt on numerous occasions since she became a resident I have been so impressed by the care she has constantly received. The staff are very professional yet extremely friendly and make it feel like it's a personal home environment. The food is amazing and the chefs so accommodating.
Her
room is beautiful so elegantly decorated and to a high standard. The facilities for the residence and visitors is stunning and so welcoming.
The owners have definitely given the home such a lot of consideration regarding the individual needs of their residence. They have a lovely roof terrace where they can enjoy the wonderful scenery as well as a very spacious conservatory. I enjoy visiting my Aunt and seeing her thriving in a relaxed and happy home.
Reply from Ben Redhead, Owner at Thornton HillThank you for this very nice review. We are happy to finally be open and make Thornton Hill the home from home so many elderly people deserve. It means a lot that you have taken the time to share this feedback for others to see. Thank you so much.

Review from Vivienne P (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum moved in here more or less when they opened the doors. She was so impressed when we looked around in November that she was happy to wait until the grand opening at the beginning of February. The accommodation is excellent, the attention to detail second to none. A lovely roof top terrace has
been built and it will be fantastic to sit there on warm summer days and enjoy the spectacular views. The food is excellent too. A good variety and always piping hot. However the most important part to mention is the staff. They are wonderful from the owner Ben to the housekeeper Liz. Every member of staff is kind and caring taking time to talk to the residents and get to know them. They genuinely care and it is such a relief to know she is being so well looked after in such lovely surroundings. The manager Zoe has gone over and above to make sure everything was in place for Mum's arrival and has continued to be very hands on ever since. I cannot recommend this care home enough.
Reply from Ben Redhead, Owner at Thornton HillThank you so much for such a lovely review. We are delighted to finally be open and care for your mum. Your review has perfectly picked out what is most important to us and I thank you for sharing this for other people to see. We will always ensure you mum has the best care possible now and in to the future.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.495)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.495) out of 10 for Thornton Hill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.5 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Thornton Hill is calculated as follows: ( (23 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 23 Ratings = 5
  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 3.495 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thornton Hill is based on 2 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 = 3.125
    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. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.4 = 0.37
  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.

Job Title: Owner Joined: 2015

Hi, I'm Ben, and I am the proud owner of Thornton Hill Care Home and Well Springs Nursing Home.


I joined my father in business in 2015, where I learnt all the roles in the home by performing them alongside our fabulous team. Eventually, I learnt how to play a leading role in running the business, with quality at the forefront of all decisions. Fast forward to 2025, when our small family business bought our second home, Thornton Hill.


I came into care because I love seeing what is possible in a world where, sadly, there are not enough lovely homes. I am involved daily across both homes and always love to meet families that want to look around. I feel lucky to be a part of such an amazing team where we have lots of staff who have stayed with us for decades.


My grandma was looked after by my incredible colleagues for 5 years of her life when she needed that extra support. I trust our staff to try their hardest and let their personalities shine, and that is why we have a lovely reputation as a business that truly cares about the elderly people who need great care.
