After deciding that our mother needed 24-hour care in December 2025 we looked at a number of care homes. We chose Princess House mainly because it was smaller than many other care homes and we felt that our mother wouldn't feel "lost" while living there. We also liked the friendliness of...
The staff are exceptionally kind and caring and look after the residents with care and thoughtfulness; nothing is too much trouble for them. Our mother is looked after so well and we know she is safe and happy there.
Our mother settled in very quickly and we couldn't be happier that we decided on Princess House.

We found princess house to be very welcoming and caring towards my mum. Staff really seemed to care about her safety and welfare and provided individualized care. The environment was clean well kept and she had a room with the spectacular view over the beach. My mum felt safe.

Our mam came to Princess House in November, it was a very difficult time for mam to adjust to her new home, however we her daughters, can't praise and thank the staff enough for looking after her. The home is just one of the best and myself and my sister know mam is being looked after with so much care and attention and in very safe hands. All of the staff in Princess House are fabulous; they are sincere, so friendly, happy and so caring, nothing is a bother to them. They do so much for their residents, without hesitation and it's obvious they are all so skilled in what they do. We have had the pleasure to be able to see what they actually do day in and day out since November, and they deserve this acknowledgement, as they are amazing, we can definitely say they have made such a difference to mams life. We are so happy we found you Princess House. Thank you so much xx

I originally enquired about Dad being a day visitor, but after a fall he was lucky to move into Princess House to continue his recovery. Dad has adapted well and is enjoying the excellent care and attention he receives. From the amazing housekeeping duo, friendly chefs who are always happy to make Dad's favourite and chat about football to the exceptional care and tenderness provided by the carers. Life at Princess House feels like being part of an extended family and I am delighted Dad is receiving the best care and support possible.
My Mother is very happy in Princess House, she is very well cared for and the staff are excellent especially 3 in particular who are excellent with my mother. The cleaning staff go above and beyond, more life a family, we could not have asked for better care.

My Aunt moved to Princess House 3 and a half years ago. The standard of care she received was excellent, the staff supported her with anything she needed. Every member of staff made the effort and often went above and beyond their role to ensure that my Aunt was happy. They would spend time with my Aunt sharing memories using her photo albums. She was a very private person and did find it hard to mix with others, but due to the patience and kindness of the team, eventually started to mix, which was a big thing for her. The care didn't stop there they also supported myself and family, when we couldn't visit due to Covid and shielding, keeping us fully informed of how my Aunt was, and if she needed items they helped with her shopping. The team are like an extension of your own family, so credit to them all, they ensured my Aunt was safe during very difficult times until she sadly passed away. They were there for us all, we will never forget that. So a huge thank you to you all

Our mum passed away recently after living in The Princess House for the last 4-years. We want to share how fantastic the care is there. It is a family-run home, and all the staff really do feel like one big family working together to make a safe, caring and homely environment for the residents. There are cosy corners we'd sit with Mum, or in her room with fabulous sea views. So the location is a wow, but the review we want to share is how grateful and lucky we felt to have Mum cared for by this kind, caring and professional team. In difficult circumstances, we felt like Mum became embraced into a new family, we saw the warmth she received and the big smiles and laughs she shared with the staff who got to know her individually and the safe, easy feeling they created for the residents together. We were so lucky to find Princess House for Mum, and cannot recommend it highly enough for the professional care given, and the wonderful kind and caring staff. Thank you, Princess House!

I have worked at Princess House since 2003, and have been its Registered Manager since 2006, when I completed a Level 4 NVQ in Leadership in Health and Social Care and the Registered Managers Award.
Having gained more knowledge in different areas of care over the years, I joined Ascot Care in 2022, when they acquired the Home.
In my spare time, on top of enjoying a variety of holidays throughout the year, I enjoy spending quality time with my grandchildren, my family, and my grand doggies.
