Lennel House Care Centre, which provides residential care for older people and adults, is set in 11 acres of gardens in the Berwickshire countryside.
Highly-trained staff cater to a variety of care needs including nursing, dementia, residential and respite care.
Situated less than a mile from Coldstream in the Scottish Borders, the home’s location offers stunning views over the River Tweed and Cheviot Hills.
Beatrix Potter stayed for a summer at the house over 100 years ago and it is known that this is where she was inspired for her famous character 'Peter Rabbit.' As a tribute to this, the bedroom Beatrix Potter stayed in has been transformed into 'The Beatrix Potter coffee room' for the residents and the relatives to use, which contains pictures of Beatrix Potter's work.
The house was originally built around 1820 and its impressive architecture and features have been retained.
The home caters for 38 residents in single occupancy rooms, although shared rooms can be accommodated on request.
There is an in-house hairdressing salon and hairdressers visit weekly.
An activities coordinator ensures each resident is involved in meaningful activities. Meals with fresh, nutritious, locally-sourced ingredients are prepared by the chef for residents to enjoy.

Dad passed away in June 2025 and the staff were fantastic supporting Mum and helping myself and my 2 brothers sort things out. Mum has been on her own since then and they have always kept us informed of any health issues Mum has had. Katie the Manager, Josh the assitant manager and the Senior careers in particular have been extremly helpful. Although we have had limited experiance with any other care homes we did in the past have experiance with one other care home which has made us realise how good Lennel house is. Also dealing wirh the finance team at St Philips head office has been very easy.

Lennel House is definitely a 5 star Care Home & I would recommend it to anyone wanting/needing 24 hr care. Social Care found Lennel Home for my elderly Mum just before Xmas '25 & she is so much happier since moving in. The carers are wonderful, kind, caring, accommodating & always have time & a...
I can't praise the carers enough for what they do. You can hear so many horror stories in the media about care homes, but not enough about the really good ones. The carers communicate really well with my Sister & I about our Mum & they also accommodate anything we ask for on our Mum's behalf. Food is delicious too!
My Gran was admited to Lennel House in March when unable to live at home alone, we are happy with the care that is provided, my gran lived alone so it's lovely that she has lots of friends she can talk to, we have peace of mind knowing she is cared for 24 hours a day

During her final days, which were very difficult for us, the staff were incredibly generous with their time; prepared to go the extra mile for us. We can't thank them enough.
We placed my uncle into Lennel House in October 2025 following concerns at home. He is loving life, he gets on with all the staff so well and his care needs are met with dignity and respect. Since admission he has been moved to a room with an ensuite which is so much better for him. All in all,...

Lennel is brilliant, from the staff to the atmosphere and service. They have taken my uncle George in and treat him as their own. the senior careers in particular are exceptional they go above and beyond to take care of George. Lovely clean location aswell

My wife and I have been married 57 years so it came as quite a shock when 2 years ago she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I did my best to look after her at home but it became too much for me, so I had to make the decision for her to go into a care home at Lennel. Over 2 years have passed now and I have no regrets taking this big step. The manager and staff are all so nice and helpful it makes me so happy that Lennel certainly delivers. Well done St Philips, I know she is in good hands.
It is satisfying to have such a positive review where this relative obviously feels happy and confident that the best care is being provided. Thank you.
What a beautiful home with excellent facilities and staff. Staff are so kind and compassionate. The home has been under some renovations recently as is looking better than ever! The staff always seem happy and are always helpful whenever I need them.

Thank you very much for your kind words. All the staff are working hard towards creating a homely, friendly atmosphere for the residents as well as provide a high standard of care and support. Staff will feel encouraged by this feedback.

Visited a friend at Lennel House Homes Care Centre recently who I hadn't seen in a while as I live out of the area. I was just so delighted to see a big improvement across the board! Particularly just to see such happy and relaxed residents and staff who genuinely seem to love their job! The home has come under new management and makes a big difference... feels such a lovely home from home with beautiful decor in the rooms and around the shared areas. Had such a positive visit and comforted to know my friend is being taken such good care of.
Thank you for your kind comments. The team has worked very hard to improve the home and environment for all of our residents. It is great to be able to pass on such a positive comment to the staff who fully deserve to have their efforts recognised.
95% staff very good, just not enough staff. Good staff left frustrated as would do more for residents. Too quick to leave mum in bed all day with no medical reason, simple rewording of question would encourage her up and about. Better dementia training required. Sad to see residents 'parked' in tv...
95% staff very good, just not enough staff. Good staff left frustrated as would do more for residents. Too quick to leave mum in bed all day with no medical reason, simple rewording of question would encourage her up and about. Better dementia training required. Sad to see residents 'parked' in tv lounge, again staffing levels not adequate, no stimulation at all. Family left frustrated by empty promises. Never been asked for personal history of mum resulting in no idea of her likes/dislikes, family or past job held etc. daily visit required to make sure primary needs are met.
The concerns raised in the above review have been fully investigated by the regional manager covering the service . Measures have now been put in place to address the issues. The home manager has met with the family to directly address their concerns .
