Winscombe Hall is a stunning Victorian Country Mansion House, nestling in the Mendip Hills amid an area of outstanding beauty, close to the Somerset levels and Cheddar. The Grade II listed building was built for the Reverend John Yatman and his family in 1836. The architects William Railton (designer of Nelson’s Column in London & Cardiff Castle) along with William Burgess (designer of fine art) were commissioned. The main house was completed in 1855, and remained as a family home for over 150 years until being converted to a care home in the last 15 years.
Cedars Care Group have tastefully updated this wonderful Victorian Mansion House whilst retaining and incorporating many of the original features, ensuring the buildings character is not spoiled and can be enjoyed by the residents.

This is the third period of emergency/respite care for both my in-laws over the past few months. During these times of continuing difficulty with them, the management of the home have been exceptional in responding to and providing support to us as a family, and in enabling the provision of care to...
Throughout, the standard of care, consideration and professionalism shown has been consistently of a very high marker, and without exception, all staff exude a genuine warmth and compassion for the work they are doing, and for the residents they are caring for, which is a very special quality. Well done!
Very comfortable, caring, good food, kind staff. Always warm, well ventilated and odour free. Great chefs, great food. Ma is very happy here and I am stress-free.

Winscombe Hall has and is undergoing quite a transformation since my husband moved there 18 months ago. I have seen many changes of staff but this always seems to be managed in a positive manner and in my experience has not affected the care my husband has received. Since a poor CQC report last year, the management have responded in a big way and now the structure of business and nursing staff appears more balanced and efficient. It has been impressive. A new Activities Manager was appointed last year and she has been excellent bringing much-needed stimulation for the residents.
It is a very old house and yes the building outside and inside will continue to need lots of maintenance and updating but overall it has a very homely feel. There is still more to do but they are making large steps towards their goal.
I have never doubted the care that my husband has received. Nothing can be perfect but I return home at ease after each visit. I visit at least 2-3 times a week.
My Aunt loves Winscombe Hall and I have found all the staff extremely kind and caring. The new 'this is me' documents and summary of care needs in her room have been a joy to read.

My Aunt loves Winscombe Hall and I have found all the staff extremely kind and caring. The new 'this is me' documents and summary of care needs in her room have been a joy to read. The compliance manager, I understand has written these, since she has been at Winscombe the change has been tremendous and the care greatly improved. The new staff team are wonderful, and business manager has been very kind. I do hope the home continues with these improvements.

My welcome was warm and friendly and once there, my care was ideal. All facilities were kept immaculately clean and although there was a considerate change of staff, all were very considerate and caring.
I had not expected to be out of action so had to take much paperwork etc with me so had little chance for the activities, of which there were plenty. The atmosphere and decoration in the dementia section was all excellent. The terrace and garden would be an absolute joy in better weather.
I was very pleased with the overall care I received during my 10 day stay.

I started my career training to be a beauty therapist, where I gained the highestqualifications. I initially moved to domiciliary care because I wanted to work in a profession
where I could help people, which has always been a passion of mine. I have never looked
back and genuinely feel it has been my calling.
My journey at Winscombe Hall began in 2019, where I quickly proved my dedication and
work ethic. Within eight weeks, I progressed from a carer to a Floor Manager, a testament to
my commitment to providing excellent care and my ability to take on new challenges.
In 2021, I was offered the position of Deputy Manager, and I have enjoyed the challenge and
learning the more in-depth nuances of care.
At the end of 2024, when the Manager decided to move on to pastures new, I was offered
the position of Home Manager. It was my great pleasure to accept, as Winscombe Hall holds
a large space in my heart, and I have great pride in the home. I am proud to be part of the
Winscombe Hall family and share in its achievements.
As I look to the future, I am excited about the opportunities to further enhance Winscombe
Hall. I am committed to maintaining its current high standards and am eager to explore new
ways to improve and innovate, ensuring that it remains a fantastic home for all.

My career has always revolved around administration, but I only entered the care industrywhen I moved to Weston in 2013. I love working in the care industry; even when you are
working in an office setting and not on the floor, it can still be so rewarding. I get to meet and
speak to the residents' families, from the first visit when they are viewing the home to an
ongoing point of contact throughout their journey, building positive relationships for all who
live and work here.
My journey with the Cedars Group began at Winscombe Hall in April 2024. The first time I
visited the home to meet the manager, I was immediately struck by the grandeur of the
country manor home. This unique setting is something I deeply appreciate and it's a privilege
to work in such a distinguished beautiful environment.
