Review from T W (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 July 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Country Lodge has a warm and friendly atmosphere as soon as you are greeted the door. Not only is it in a beautiful setting with stunning gardens (which are accessible and much used) and views but the interior is light and airy and comfortable luxury.
Every member of staff is caring and welcoming. Including kitchen, maintenance, housekeeping who are all helpful and friendly. Nursing is attentive and on the ball with the smallest of issues attended to with utmost care and efficiency. Carers are all exactly that, caring in a professional but loving and caring way.
Activities and entertainment are ongoing, stimulating and delivered with enthusiasm and fun from both internal staff and external providers.
Food and drink is excellent and prepared thoughtfully to high standards.

Importantly Country Lodge is full of laughter, and a loving atmosphere with exemplary care. Not only is it a happy home for residents but also for visiting families and friends which is much appreciated.

Overall Experience

My mother came to Country Lodge in May 2024 and has received top class care during the past two years. The staff are very attentive at all times and my mother often comments on how good the home cooked food is. Thursday afternoons are fun in the lounge when indoor bowls are played and the exercise classes are great. I can say hand on heart that my mother is thriving.

I went into Country Lodge for respite care when I left hospital. I found Country Lodge excellent in every respect. The staff were wonderful. When I need full time care I hope to be able to be a permanent resident.

Review from José E (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 April 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mother has been a resident in the care home for over two years. She is very happy there and feels safe and very well looked after.
The staff are excellent and really care about her. They are always checking on her as she prefers to stay in her room. I know that they will let me know if there is a problem with my Mum's health.
I never worry about my Mum. I live in the West Country so am not on her doorstep. I can phone her whenever I want.

I enjoy visiting her as the staff are always welcoming.

Reply from Deborah Andrews, Director at Country Lodge Nursing Home

Dear Jose, thank you so much for your encouraging comments - it is a real privilege to care for your mother. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Overall Experience

I walked into a game, crossword, the events manager so bubbly. Once I put my gifts down, I got stuck in - not a fan of crosswords, however I had fun with Aunty! Lunch looked amazing, hunters chicken Wow! Everyone tucked in, even Lyla, my dog had some. Feeling very at home. A young operatic singer came to entertain, very inspiring beautiful voice. Aunty sang along - FAB! Cake & tea arrived, delicious - love this place as does Aunty.

Overall Experience

Mum has really settled in well and this is pureply down to how lovely the home is but mainly due to how wonderful each and every member of staff is. It is a nice experience for me and my sisters when we visit as we are made so welcome too. Mum didn't ever want to go into a nursing home but now she loves it which makes us so happy. We 100% recommend.

All of the staff are, as ever, kind and understanding. The manager and admin staff are extremely helpful. The hard-working nurses are also very helpful and communicate well. The assistants are always very patient and kind to my, sometimes rather difficult, mum. Place is very well maintained and the food is excellent. Very impressed.

Review from Adam C (Son of Resident) published on 19 July 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A huge heartfelt thank you to the amazing staff at Country Lodge Nursing Home, who took the very best care of Mum, right up until her very last breath, allowing Mum to live out her final days in a beautiful home, in beautiful surroundings, and with complete dignity, surrounded by a genuinely loving staff, whom Mum considered her friends before she passed.
As Mum passed so unexpectedly, both my sister and I were not there at the moment of transition, so it was of great comfort to us that a number of you stayed by Mum's side whilst she gently slipped away, not just because it was part of your role, but because you genuinely cared for Mum, which was obvious in the upset we witnessed when we came to say goodbye to Mum.
Mum never felt at home in any other care home, but you made her feel totally at home, thank you all so much for everything you did for her, our biggest regret is that we didn't know about this amazing home sooner.

Please keep up the great work and God bless you all.

Reply from Deborah Andrews, Director at Country Lodge Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. Your mother was a much-loved resident and will be dearly missed by all. Warmest regards, the Staff Team at Country Lodge.

Review from J B (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 May 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This beautiful nursing home is filled with love and warmth. The staff are always joyful and this reflects throughout. Our Mother is thriving and happy and this is due to the genuine loving care from all the wonderful staff who openly show their affection to her and from the freshly cooked nutritious meals which Mum loves, and now enjoys food! As relatives, we are made welcome and a part of the Country Lodge family. We are so grateful, and Mum is enjoying her 'extended' family life. There is nothing too beat it. It is just wonderful.

Review from Neal H (Son of Resident) published on 12 April 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It's not just the 'big' important things they get right - the nursing home is spotlessly clean, the level of care from the staff is exemplary and the food is well thought out/prepared [even down to really good homemade cakes with afternoon tea]. But for me, it's also the attention to detail, the beautiful garden at the back of the lounge or the way on arrival whoever lets you in always does it with a smile.

Review from Julie R (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff and management were excellent from the first meeting with the manager we knew this was the place for my dad to end his days. They treated him so well and with kindness and dignity in his last days and hours and someone was with him at the end as we were unable to be there in time.
We were so impressed with the cleanliness of the whole home, it always smelt so clean, which was a wonderful thing.
Would definitely recommend the home to another person if ever I was asked.

So grateful to them all.

Review from Kathy H (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum was a resident at Country Lodge for 3 months (Feb - May 2023) after she became unable to stand or walk. All the staff were highly skilled in helping my mum feel safe and at home. They warmly welcomed family members and friends including fun activities. The manager and nurses in charge made time to discuss with me how to help Mum.
I moved Mum locally on 15th May 2023 only because the journey is 4 hours each way. The staff were so very helpful in preparing Mum to leave, and in helping me to organise the move including helping me with a personalised care plan for the ambulance crew providing Mum and me with a lovely goodbye and a packed lunch.

The rooms and the gardens and view are second to none. When you are inside you forget you are near the main road and are transported to the landscape with the absolutely beautiful garden in the foreground view. The lady gardener is very friendly and lovely to talk to as is everyone at this friendly care home.

Overall Experience

My father was treated with great respect and dignity during this period of time and beyond, couldn't have wished for a better nursing home for him than Country Lodge. From the activities to the meals, to the care and to the general love that he got from the home. Although nonverbal you could tell my father found life there very comforting, nothing was ever too much trouble and as a family we are truly grateful to have found this lovely place.
