Elliscombe House

Absolutely amazing care home, the staff were kind and compassionate, it was clean with a fantastic menu, laundry staff were great and everyone made mums all too short end of life stay as good as it could possibly be. Set in beautiful grounds with a wonderful orangery, dining room and library it is relaxing and welcoming. Also there is a lovely spa room and hairdressers for the residents and plenty of activities to chose from. Couldn't recommend it highly enough!

My mother was admitted from hospital after a bad fall. She was in a fragile state, and had previously resisted coming to a care home despite her deteriorating memory. She has been treated with dignity and kindness and now says she doesn't want to leave! The food is excellent, the staff are generous with their time and could not be kinder. In fact my Mum keeps telling me how fantastic they are. She has a lovely room looking out onto the gardens and is not only happy there but also healing well under the excellent, patient and kind care she's receiving.

We could not be happier that mum is at Elliscombe House. The standards of care are extremely high and the living environment is stunning. There is a mix of engaging daily activities and all the staff are friendly and approachable. Guests are made to feel welcome and there are beautiful rooms to meet in should you wish to. The coffee station and cookies are always most welcome.

Elliscombe House is an outstanding home. It's beautiful, light and modern with lovely grounds and loads of places to sit. The staff are simply fantastic, so friendly happy and caring. The food is equivalent to a 4 star hotel with everyone individually catered for. The activities are twice daily with variety and something for everyone. If you're considering a residential setting for yourself or family I highly recommend Elliscombe. My Mum is very lucky to be there

It was a wonderful place for my mother to spend her last 2 years, before she passed away in January 2026. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elliscombe House.

When mum was moved from hospital to Elliscombe house,the difference in her was amazingly. We strongly believe this was down to the care and dedication of all the staff,all of whom are so friendly and helpful.Mum had a lovely room with views onto the courtyard,she was very contented there.The activities they provide for those who can participate are excellent.We will be eternally grateful to them as we felt it gave us more precious time with mum,this care home is second to none,thanking each and every member of staff,for looking after mum.we would throughly recommend this care home.

My mum was admitted to the care home last November, straight from the hospital, we as a family, were very worried about how she would cope, she loves it there and has settles in very well, the staff are fantastic and nothing is too much trouble everybody from the cleaners, chef, care staff, gardener and management are lovely and very polite. Would highly recommend this care home.

My Godmother was a resident at Elliscombe House for 18 months before she passed away late last year. During that time, with the carful attention of both the management staff and the wonderfully kind care team, she was comfortable and contented in her new environment. Elliscombe House is a very tastefully decorated home, akin to a 5* hotel, immaculately clean with excellent food and service. We often had lunch together in the dining room which was the highlight of our week.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at Elliscombe House for taking such good care of not only my God-Mother, but of me as well. I was always made to feel welcome and felt that my concerns were heard, addressed, and actioned.

Following a difficult transfer out of hospital, Elliscombe House facilities and staff were wonderful. Management were extremely helpful and supportive throughout the whole difficult time. Relief, at such wonderful care and compassion demonstrated by all at Elliscombe House. Knowing my relative was being so well cared for at a difficult time has been invaluable help for all the family.

Everyone one there was very caring, from the house staff ensuring the rooms were spotless to the care staff who looked after her daily needs and to the management taking time from their busy days to eat lunch with her. Mum sadly passed away at Elliscombe November 2025 with the family by her side. We would highly recommend this outstanding Care Home.

My wife was admitted on September 1st 2025 for end of life care, she passed away on 1st October 2025. During her period of palliative care as a resident she was given exemplary care in a compassionate, dignified and caring manner by all members of staff involved. Both myself and our son and daughter were looked after admirably during the period in question. I visited every day for many hours and during these visits I was accorded full hospitality of cooked meals, snacks and drinks of a very high standard both in quality and service. The Care Home itself is in a beautiful setting and my wife had a lovely room with outside views and opportunities to make it very homely with personal picture memories and items.

My Aunt still feels in control of her needs and she has no fear of voicing this. The staff are always kind, patient and supportive to her.

A well run care home in every respect, with an excellent rural position and generous facilities. Every member of staff displayed genuine kindness and with a smile.

My mother went to Elliscombe House for respite care & to support her recovery from a fall.

Overall, very positive, very good care of our mother. One or two issues have been put right. Able to talk to whoever you need to whatever time. Mum has been here for 2 years and has very good care. Food is excellent. The house is very clean with very friendly staff.

It is never easy to make the decision, to move a relative into residential care. Looking on-line everything looks lovely but... Ellescombe House is surrounded by countryside. It is peaceful & beautifully maintained inside & out. I met with the Manager after a tour of the house, she immediately made me feel confident & hopeful, asking appropriate questions concerning my father to gain understanding of his care needs as well as gaining insight into his character & interests. She then took me to see a few of the vacant rooms, which are as lovely as the website showed, that she thought would suit dad. Everywhere has homely comfortably vibe & there is a large team of staff who I genuinely felt were both very caring & friendly both to the residents & one another. I think dad will be content here.

Elliscombe House has a very welcoming atmosphere, more like a Country House Hotel. When I visit the staff are always cheerful and helpful. I note that when dealing with my sister or any other resident, the staff are always kind, gentle and respectful - and very patient.

My Aunt arrived in Elliscombe in mid 2024. She was very malnourished and frail, and quite delusional. Under the care at Elliscombe she has really recovered well and is enjoying staying there. She now eats well, engages with other residents and staff and is pleased to host visitors there too. The transformation of my Aunt into a happy person, on the ball again, has been lovely to see. I would thoroughly recommend Elliscombe. I have experienced other care homes that cost not much less, but that are nothing like as good. Really worth it.

My husband entered Elliscombe House on the 7th September 2022. The care he has received has been exceptional. The staff are very caring and he has had their full care whenever he has needed it.

The care home itself is immaculate and is clean, attractive and feels akin to a hotel - excellent food and service and as I say - kind, caring and professional staff. I would not hesitate to recommend Elliscombe to anybody considering it - especially those who may be looking towards end-of-life care.
