The building is a single storey building with no stairs or lifts to undertake. It is set in beautifully kept picturesque gardens. There are 25 bedrooms with en-suite facilities, all furnished to a high standard to provide maximum comfort and safety. There are two bathrooms, complete with hoist facilities and a walk-in shower room.
There is a large communal lounge, which is fitted with a flat screen TV where films are shown and special events are broadcast. There is a seaside themed communal area for residents to enjoy, and also a small quiet conservatory, situated at the front of the home, overlooking the beautiful garden for those residents who wish to relax in peace. They have a large dining room where meals are served.
The home also has a landscaped decking area at the rear of the home, and a paved area with a fixed parasol and garden furniture, where residents and their visitors can enjoy endless hours of sunshine in the summer months.

My 86-yr old father spent the final 6 months of his life in Eden Cottage. As an advanced Parkinson's sufferer he needed help with every aspect of life, from getting up out of his chair, to getting dressed, going to bed and with every element of personal care. His movements and speech were very slow and he needed a good deal of attention with ongoing chest infections and management of his medication. The professional, attentive and caring staff dealt with all of these issues with great patience and kindness, and always preserved my dad's dignity. They tended unerringly to his essential needs but took time to make him laugh too. Visitors, including pets, were welcome any time. Cleanliness in the home was a top priority and meals were wholesome and varied. All in all it was a great comfort to me to know that dad was so well looked after and I would have no hesitation recommending the friendly and personal care given by all at Eden Cottage.
Thank you so much for your kind words. He will be sorely missed by us all.
In difficult circumstances, they were all extremely helpful and considerate.

Thank you so much for your kind words your father is a pleasure to look after.
The staff at Eden Cottage are superb. My mum stayed for a few weeks and probably protested a bit - she wanted to be at home. The caring attitude of everyone I met there reassured me that she was being looked after with great kindness. Thank you all.

I can honestly say the all staff here are amazing and couldn't do enough for my dad. The room was clean, comfortable and well maintained with a lovely view of the gardens. The food looked amazing also and got great reviews from dad. A lovely experience and he didn't want to leave.
Thank you, it was a pleasure to have had your Dad stay with us.

My father-in-law spent a couple of months at Eden Cottage Care Home in respite care whilst a care package was put in place ready for him to return home after a short stay in hospital. He settled in well and was happy to be there during his stay. The staff were lovely, really welcoming and friendly and they always made an effort with my father-in-law. We were impressed with the quality and variety of the meals that were provided as well. We would definitely recommend Eden Cottage. Thank you to all the staff involved with his care!
Thank you very much for your lovey review. We were very glad that you chose us for your father-in-law to come and stay with.

My mam has been at Eden Cottage Care Home for the past 5 years and has been very happy there. She became ill just before Christmas and we chose to keep her at Eden Cottage instead of sending her to hospital. The care she received was far better than she would have received in hospital. One of the carers, sat with her during the night. Sadly she passed on Christmas Eve but I wouldn't have wished for a better place to be. The home really feels like one big family, all the carers and staff are lovely.
Thank you for your kind words, your mam is sorely missed by everybody.

The main plus for me is that my father settled into Eden Cottage really quickly and seems very happy there. He likes the staff and enjoys the meals.
I was apprehensive about my father going into care, even though he was no longer able to live independently and it was the best option for him. However, since moving into Eden Cottage, the care that he has received and the friendliness of all of the staff has been a comfort to me.
It's a small home, so I feel that everyone receives a more personal and greater level of care than I would have normally expect.
Thank you so much for your kind words, your father is a pleasure to look after.
My grandmother is a resident at Eden Cottage with advanced Dementia. They have taken exceptional care of her over the years as her Dementia has progressed and eaten away at her personality, which at times, has brought out difficult traits. They handle her with such care, attention, knowledge and...
On a personal note, the home helped my family navigate the most difficult loss of my mother during COVID (my grandmother's only daughter) and gave me as the now, next of kin, the confidence that she was in the best place for her, being looked after by a team which truly cares and is passionate about what they do. As I live in London and not able to visit as often as I would like, it gives me great comfort to know she is safe and happy at Eden Cottage Care Home.
Thank you so much for your kind words, your grandmother is a pleasure to look after and she keeps us on our toes.

My son-in-law spent approx 6 weeks in Eden Cottage. The staff were warm and friendly. My relative's care was of the best. He was very happy and contented during his stay despite having to have hospital stays just overnight due to catheter problems. We could visit whenever we wanted to. Would like to stay there myself when it's needed.
Thank you for your kind words. He was a pleasure to look after.

Excellent! My dad was a resident at Eden Cottage for several years, from his very first visit to his last days he was made to feel like part of the 'family'. The staff at Eden Cottage are the best you will find anywhere, they always went above and beyond to make sure that my dad received the best care available and was always treated with dignity and respect. This also included looking after my wife and I by making us feel welcome at every visit and also by dialling the phone number so that my dad could stay in touch with us when we were unable to visit and also when he wanted to order his extra bits of shopping.
There really are 'No Words', Eden Cottage is the Home away from Home a place where you know your loved one will be taken care of and treated with the utmost respect and dignity, at the highest level of excellence (Residents always come first). If you need a Care Home, there is nowhere else but Eden Cottage. Thank you all - you truly are Angels.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Your Dad was an absolute pleasure and is very sorely missed by all.
Our father was a resident at Eden Cottage for almost 3 years. He suffered from dementia but settled quickly when he moved into the home. This was entirely due to the caring and compassionate nature of all the staff. We were kept updated and involved in all aspects of Dad's care attending...
Eden Cottage is a fabulous care home and a credit to the owners, managers and all the staff. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this home.

Dad was at Eden Cottage for nine months and we couldn’t fault the care he received there. We initially went for a visit, which was unannounced, and we were welcomed straight away. Dad settled in quickly and the staff would go above and beyond to make sure his needs were met. They also supported the whole family, making sure we were ok and they knew us by name and we were welcomed wherever we visited. We felt Dad was treated as an individual and always treated with dignity and respect. We will always remember Eden Cottage with a smile because they allowed us to have quality time again with Dad and not be his carer when we visited. Thank you all, you are all amazing.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. Your Dad was an absolute pleasure and is very sorely missed by all.
Very happy with the care provided to my wife. All the staff were lovely and made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed some nice evening meals with my wife.

I was apprehensive about having to go into a care home but as soon as I arrived I felt at ease. This home has a family, homely feel and I can honestly say the staff and management are amazing. I couldn't have asked for better care.

Since I came into this care home several weeks ago, I feel as if a burden has been lifted from my shoulders. I am well-housed, well fed and cared for by a very professional and caring staff. If I ever need anything, it is provided immediately. Happy days are here again.
