It's taken me some time to write this. My mum was transferred to the cottage for end of life care. Sadly it was only for a few days but I was overwhelmed by how wonderful the staff were during this time. My mum received the utmost care in a clean and comfortable room, a home from home. The food looked
and smelled lovely. The staff were wonderful caring for my mum and to the family showing compassion and understanding at a very difficult time. My mum passed away peacefully and with dignity in a beautiful room in her home town. The staff were incredibly kind and I will be forever grateful that mum was able to be in such surroundings with caring staff where nothing was too much trouble.

We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding care our grandmother received at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home. From the moment she arrived, the staff welcomed her with warmth and compassion, treating her with genuine kindness, dignity, and respect.
The home is always clean and has a true family feel.
Staff took time to understand her needs, preferences, and personality.
Knowing she was so well cared for gave us immense peace of mind. We can't thank the team enough and would highly recommend Bakewell Cottage to anyone looking for a loving, supportive environment for their loved one.

We recently moved my father from his care home to The Cottage as he needed extra nursing care. The staff have been incredibly kind and helpful and he settled in much quicker than we dared to hope. After eating like a mouse at his previous home he is now eating for Britain! The catering staff take great
pride in the food they prepare and serve and rightly so. Being in the middle of town is a joy as we can now push my father down in to Bakewell for ice creams and to feed the ducks on the river.
Thank you to all staff involved.

Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad he settled in so well. I will pass this onto the rest of the team, especially the kitchen staff.

My mother-in-law is very happy in the home. It is well staffed, and those who work there are always friendly and kind (to her and to us) . This makes a very big difference to my mother-in-law's state of mind.
It is always clean and staff seem very adaptable to the different needs of residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother will have been in the home for two years on 2nd December, following a stroke. Initially Mum thought she could cope at home with a little bit of help, but unfortunately, this wasn't practical due to her being paralyzed down the left side and all family members working full time. The carers
soon took Mum to their hearts due to her sense of humour and she slowly settled into care home life. The staff at the home have been very friendly to me and my family and are always approachable if we have an issue. The food is fantastic, cooked on-site with lots of variation. There are activities most afternoons, if she wishes to join in. The gardens are lovely and private where she can sit out and enjoy the fresh air. They also hold events where family members can join in. I will admit I hated the thought of Mum being in a care home but I can't thank the staff enough for their care and patience, which puts my mind at ease as I know she is well looked after.

My father has been a resident of Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home since May 2024 and has really thrived there. The staff are lovely and very caring. There are always activities and events going on, in addition to clubs he can join. He wasn't able to live independently alone anymore but he has quality of
life at the Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home and is very settled and happy there. I visit a lot of care homes in the course of my job, and the Cottage is the best I have seen. It really is in a class of its own.

I just wanted to thank the management and all the staff for their care, help and professionalism. My husband has recently arrived at the nursing home and I will never be able to thank everyone enough, not only how they care for my husband but the kindness they have shown to me and my family. This is
a whole new experience for us and the circumstances which have brought my husband into care were unexpected and a shock to us all.
The home is clean and friendly and the garden is beautiful, the food looks and smells lovely, we couldn't ask for better.
The staff are incredible, they have shown patience and understanding to a family who are still in shock.

Nurses and staff are all very kind and efficient and soon attend any problems that may occur. The highlight of this month was the outdoor barbecue which I believe all who could, in fact did attend with their photograph taken and displayed on the noticeboard for all to see. During each month, there are
regular female and male singers, pub quizzes, flower arranging, table games and floor games. Including modified pilates class every fortnight which are enjoyed by all participants.

Our Mum came to Bakewell Cottage recently after we became dissatisfied with another local care home. It wasn't a quick or easy decision to uproot and move Mum but it only took a few days at Bakewell to realise that we'd made exactly the right decision. My 'mantra' for Bakewell Cottage compared to the
previous care home is 'calmer and less drama'. As a family we have all been shown the greatest respect and kindness by all the staff and Mum's care has been wonderful from day one thus making the transition from the previous care home as good as seamless. In particular the thoughtfulness of all the staff has been outstanding as is the quality of the food. The ambience and overall calm feeling of the whole place has also been perfect. Thank you to all concerned for your support and help to this point.
Reply from Kerry Critchlow, Home Manager at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home

Dad moved to the care home after the loss of Mum and being in hospital. Dad is a stoical man who does not take care lightly but I was amazed at how he settled in so well. To be frank, we did not think he would survive six months but over six years later is a testament to the wonderful care that has
been provided at Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home.
Dad, not really knowing the area, has been made to feel very welcome and although not one to socialise, he has found the kindness of the staff wonderful. Dad's health has been seen to in a caring way and both my sister and I value the strong bonds staff members have created with him. Dad is not one to suffer fools and is stubborn but the staff have handled him really well.
A special mention to the kitchen who have really tried with Dad, in terms of choice and quality despite his grumpiness.
The home has felt like a secure and loving environment which has really tried for Dad.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When our mum moved to long-term care we were pleased that she could be accommodated at Bakewell Cottage; however we did not fully appreciate at the time how fortunate this was. Two and a half years on we are very thankful for the wonderful care she is receiving. Our dad passed away earlier this year
and we are so grateful that he had such a positive experience of her care. It is an inspiring place, with dedicated, professional, helpful and friendly staff and management team, clean homely rooms, an extensive well-kept garden, and excellent food, including regular home baking and tea parties. The special events are wonderful, involving great food and excellent live music, a huge effort is made by staff on these occasions but they always have time for warmth and fun. Updates regarding our Mum's health are always delivered in a caring way. We value that the staff have a strong appreciation of our mum's former character and have the time and interest to learn more about her earlier life.

My uncle has been at Bakewell Cottage since January after a long hospital stay. He settled in quickly and seeing him after he’d been there only a fortnight, he looked so much better and well cared for. From our initial visit, we felt the friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Staff are cheerful and polite,
always interacting with residents and visitors. Residents are known well and treated as individuals and with dignity. All staff are superb and do everything they can to ensure the comfort and well-being of those in their care; nothing is too much trouble. The food is good and varied, and residents are encouraged to join in a variety of entertainment/activities. All areas of the home are so clean and fresh. There is a lovely garden too. The manager is excellent, caring, and available to help/advise. Communication is great; we are kept well informed. I have peace of mind that my uncle is receiving the best care, in a friendly, homely atmosphere. Thank you to all for the outstanding job you do.

My mother was admitted to Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home in June 2023 and I can honestly say that she has been treated with kindness, respect and care, with no exception, at all times.
Her health is consistently monitored and any issues are immediately addressed and communicated to me.
The food is
exceptional and the home caters for special dietary requirements brilliantly.
I cannot recall a single staff member, whom I have met, that doesn’t work to a high standard. They are unfailingly helpful and upbeat.
I have found the manager and all the support team to be very helpful with any queries or concerns and can only assume, from the staff’s general attitude, that the home is run and managed to a very high standard and its staff are very happy in their roles.
I would recommend Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable home for their loved ones.

Both of my parents are residents in Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home, and as a family, we could not be happier with the care they are provided. The residents’ rooms are comfortable and clean, as are the communal spaces such as the lounge and dining room. The food is very impressive, meals are varied and
always freshly prepared, with lots of home baking. There are regular activities, suitable to different abilities, such as chair Pilates, singing and games, which Mum and Dad have enjoyed. What stands out most of all, is the commitment and compassion shown by the staff. You can see that each person genuinely cares and enjoys their role. The care is personalised, Mum and Dad’s individual needs are met appropriately and there is lots of good humour too. We are always kept informed of changes in Mum and Dad's health and care. It is very reassuring to know that they are so well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.753 for Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (227 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 267 Ratings = 4.753
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bakewell Cottage Nursing Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
