Review from Barry L (Respite Resident) published on 22 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Following bilateral knee replacements I checked into The Old Rectory for a week of convalescence and physio. I booked unseen, but on arrival was struck by the beautiful setting and the warmth of the welcome by the manager, Adarsh, who remained very attentive throughout my stay.
A good sized room, smartly furnished with all facilities, such as electrically adjustable bed (height, head and foot), TV, telephone, en suite bathroom and a nice view of the surrounding countryside. The ice machine I had ordered for delivery to The Old Rectory was unpacked and ready for my use.
Six days of good care, with morning tea, breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and supper all brought to my bedside and a choice of menu each day. It made the early days of rehab post op an easy experience, an invaluable investment in my rehab.

Daily Physios, including on the Sunday of my arrival, were kind, professional and responsive to my needs, especially Arul who was brilliant. All staff were kind and friendly.

I have just spent eight days at The Old Rectory, after femur surgery, for some post-op rehabilitation. Their care and professionalism was outstanding. I thank them for their kindness and patience. A beautiful restful environment. Lovely ground floor garden room which aided calm recovery so well. Thank you to all the staff.

Overall Experience
My mother in law stayed at The Old Rectory last November 2025 for respite while we went on holiday and she absolutely loved it. So much so she would like to come back this May when we go away again. She's a very sociable lady, so she loved going to all the activities and having sherry before lunch.

I would like to say thank you to everyone for taking care of her and we look forward to seeing you in May.

Review from Sybil C (Respite Resident) published on 23 January 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I had a very comfortable stay at The Old Rectory.

Day to day the meals were varied and high quality and the staff were caring, well trained and proactive.

However, it is the peripheral considerations that made my stay so comfortable. For instance, the Christmas lunch was exceptional and made what could have been a difficult time of the year so much easier. Furthermore, having such a good hairdresser on site was also a massive bonus (having been unable to wash my hair for weeks in hospital). Overall, The Old Rectory upheld a high service in all areas that contribute to an individual's stay and I couldn't recommend them more.

Review from Caroline P (Wife of Resident) published on 23 September 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My husband came to the Old Rectory for two weeks after a hip replacement operation. He had extra care needs, as he also has Parkinson's disease, and the staff were exemplary in ensuring that he was safe and well cared for at all times. The general manager, the physios, nurses and carers were all as kind, helpful and knowledgable as possible. Nothing was too much trouble and every challenge was met. The home is in beautiful, peaceful surroundings, and the lovingly tended gardens are a delight. The rooms are clean, comfortable and homely, with plenty of light, and windows onto the gardens full of flowers. We had several visitor lunches, and were most impressed with the high quality of the delicious food, and the way the meals were served. Altogether an excellent care home, and highly recommended.

Review from B L (Husband of Resident) published on 6 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My wife was at The Old Rectory for 20 days for post operative care after a trauma break to her femur. The medical, physio and general sympathetic care were all excellent. We had good communication with the general manager (who was hands on and led from the front). The head physio was extremely helpful; they and all the staff were pleasant, kind, and sympathetic. They all knew and carried out their duties admirably and professionally (relevant to my wife, the night nursing was thoughtful and attentive). The room, although comfortable, the ensuite was a little small, but we were lucky to find a room in a lovely house and surroundings at such short notice, so 'no complaints'.

We did not use the facilities and activities, but did enjoy a 'Songs of Praise' in the garden in conjunction with the local church. As to value for money, it is the market!

I came here for a week to recover from a full knee replacement. I am 82. From the moment I arrived I have received exemplary treatment and care. Smiling staff always with a warm greeting, so so caring, nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is excellent - flavoursome and quite delicious, it has been an aid to my recovery, beautifully presented.

Physio 5 days, again excellent and I am now able to walk for a short distance without crutches. Excellent care throughout.

I stayed for one week of respite care with my partner after her surgery. This was similar to staying in a luxury hotel with extremely kind and helpful staff. The home is in a delightful rural setting and the food and service were excellent. The staff worked as a very smoothly running team. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The medical support was extremely good.

Overall Experience

This was my second stay at The Old Rectory for post-operative care following surgery. What a lovely group of helpful management and staff, many local, but many from abroad. Always smiling and willing to cope with sometimes unpleasant jobs, very helpful staff. Fascinating to hear about their countries, and I was impressed by their good use of the English language. Nothing was too much trouble - I felt very relaxed during my stay. I recommend this home to others. I had a wonderful stay. Special thanks to the manager for all their efforts.

Overall Experience

My week of respite and convalescent care following surgery has been brilliant. Without exception the staff are caring, attentive and always prompt in attending to requests. The nursing care was excellent with prompt attention to an infection which prevented further complications. Staff ratio to residents is very good indeed. Most enjoyable activities took place which provided social time. Food is excellent. The Old Rectory is situated in the idyllic Surrey Hills. This has been a good time of rest and restoration and a necessary transition between hospital and home. Thank you all at the Old Rectory.

Staff are caring. The rooms are a little small but very clean. The food and service are both excellent. The nurses are on 24/7 call and there is a very efficient care system which is rather rare and can be moved around with the patient. Very good physio care is vital and the Old Rectory has achieved this by careful selection of a carefully chosen expert pool of chartered physiotherapists. They are carefully chosen and vetted.

My father moved to The Old Rectory Care Home, initially on a respite stay but he immediately felt welcomed and comfortable and it was his choice to become a permanent resident. All the staff are always cheerful, with a pleasant word to residents, visitors and each other. Nothing is ever too much trouble, including reminding Dad frequently to press the call button if he wants something! Visitors are welcome anytime, the signing in and out system is straightforward to use. Activities are very varied, both regular events - chair exercises, board games and bingo, and the opportunity to turn a 'notable date' into a celebration for all, making residents feel part of an active community - Bonfire Night, Divali, Burns Night, Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day are some of the recent events.
