Craig-En-Goyne was a beautiful Victorian mansion house which, with the addition of 42 brand new bedrooms in 2010, was converted into a comfortable, spacious care home for a total of 48 residents. The care provided is of a very high standard and the home enjoys an excellent local reputation.
All of the 48 bedrooms enjoy full private en-suite facilities as well as open outlooks over the manicured grounds. The traditional features combine well with the modern facilities to make this a home that everyone can enjoy.

Looked after very well
Staff are very good always have time for you
plenty activities
Entertainment good raffles and 50/50 draw help to provide this for residents
The home is spotless well decorated and has an excellent staff ethic with activities too many to mention. The staff are caring, cheerful and have good relationships with the residents. Communication is excellent and there is an open door policy there are no barriers to visiting and I always feel welcome. Both care and nursing care are of good quality and I am more than happy with the management team.
Her room is homely and contains all the essentials to make it feel like a home from home.
The food is personal centred and catered to individual requests
I would highly recommend this Care Home to anyone who is looking for that secure, safe and supported environment
Thank you very much for your kind words. The staff really appreciate the support of residents' families.
my mother went into the home in 2020 during covid which was a difficult time for everyone visiting was restricted for everyone the staff went above and beyond during this time and still do its not just a care home its the residents home always made welcome when visiting and my mother is well cared for and comfortable
I feel at home when I come to visit my mum, the staff go above and beyond. My mum has a great experience living here . There is plenty activities to keep my mums mind working, and it is a very happy place. Management, Staff and residents are always happy and smiling. It is a warm and welcoming place all together. If I could give stars above 5 I really would.
My mother is very happy there and has been well looked after over the last few years.
Highly recommend.
My Mum suffers from mixed dementia and has done it for a number of years. It was important to keep her in her own home for as long as I possibly could but it became clear that this was no longer a feasible option and needed care. It was an incredibly difficult decision to make, made worse by the fact that I live over 450 miles away in London. Having researched various homes none of them had the welcoming and homely feel that Craig-en-Goyne has. From the minute you step through the door, there’s a warmness from all the staff which has helped give me the peace of mind that my Mum would be well cared for and looked upon as part of the Craig-en-Goyne family. Whilst it’s very early days as my Mum hasn’t been there long, the staff are doing everything they can to help her settle into her new home and also helping me with the adjustment by keeping in regular contact and assuring me to call whenever l want to find out how she’s getting on. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Craig-en-Goyne.
I am absolutely delighted with the care provided at Craig-en-Goyne Care Home. The staff are amazing, everyone, from the ancillary staff to the manager, provides person-centred care for my mum. Nothing is too much trouble for them and you can tell they genuinely care about the residents and it's not just a job to them. My mum has absolutely thrived since moving in. She enjoys the food and loves the many activities they have on offer, which are showcased on social media! This is a fabulous service as it keeps me up to date with what Mum has been doing. Mum is kept busy enjoying the activities and making new friends. All of the staff are approachable and friendly. The location is great, close to me and set within its own grounds. Mum loves watching the squirrels and birds. The house itself is a grand, old house yet warm, comforting and welcoming. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to anyone. I think my mum is treated like royalty. Well done to everyone there!
After Mum had an extended hospital stay, we were fortunate to get a space for her at Craig-en-Goyne Care Home. Mum suffers from vascular dementia and we were apprehensive about her accepting change and being in a care home (having lived for fifteen years in sheltered housing). Our fears were unfounded as she has settled in really well in her lovely room. I cannot praise the management and staff highly enough as they have been so wonderful with Mum and the challenges of dementia. The home is spotlessly clean and the standard of care provided is first-class. The communication between the care home and myself has been excellent too and they have a wonderful Facebook page for relatives to see their loved ones enjoying the wide range of activities (keep fit, games, dancing, entertainment by singers etc.). They also circulate information and newsletters via email so we are aware of what is planned and what has been happening. A wonderful hairdressing salon is also enjoyed by many residents. Thank you!
The wider team, my thanks for the standard of cleanliness, lovely meals prepared and perfect laundry that hangs in the wardrobe each time I visit.
It is evident from the feedback received from staff, not forgetting the family and carer Facebook page that someone always takes the time to update, that there is an interesting array of activities that happen daily but importantly tailored to ensure all residents are included.
The staff are friendly, approachable and always willing to help assist in any way possible.
As a healthcare professional, I understand the amount of hard work, dedication and commitment that goes into achieving the standards of care you provide are excellent.
I would recommend this care home to anyone looking for a nursing home placement.
You really are a great bunch thank you for all that you have done and continue to do.
Wasn’t entirely happy with the overall care my Grandma received over the year she was resident but most of the care staff all seemed very nice and as long as my Gran seemed happy we put up with it but then in March she developed Covid, had a fall, ended up on bed rest and developed severe bed sores. She rapidly went downhill and died. No one from the Home attended the funeral despite it being policy.
Death of a Service User in Care Homes (Scotland) Policy.Policy Statement
This policy sets out the values, principles, and practices underpinning the care home’s approach to the death of any of its service users.
Procedures (not during a pandemic).
“The care home arranges for staff and other service users to attend the funeral if they wish. It always sends at least one representative to attend a funeral as well as sending a condolence card or letter to the relatives.”
I have no bad comment to say. The home is run excellently. Staff are always friendly and efficient. Everything they do, from the bottom to the top management, the care they show for the residents is excellent. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a home for their loved ones.
The result is a home from home which is exactly what residents yearn for - it's here at 'Craig-en-Goyne'!
Dad has had wonderful care since he arrived in Craig-en-Goyne last February, in what has been dreadful circumstances due to Covid. He is content and has benefitted from the stimulation that we could not provide at home. There are many photos of him having fun. We haven't had a single problem.
Many thanks for such a positive review which everyone at Craig en Goyne really appreciates. We are hopeful that things will start returning to normal very soon and that families and friends will be able to visit their loved ones.
After loads of research, l decided on Craig-en-Goyne - the decision was the right one!
We had a horrendous day when my mum was due to go into the home, l called and spoke with the nurse in charge that day who was great with me, offered to speak with my mum to reassure her, which she did and really calmed her down.
Right from her 1st day in the home, I've had 100% confidence that she is always well looked after.
As a family, we have found it very difficult to try and adjust to the huge change in our lives, but the staff at the home has helped with this adjustment, assuring me to call whenever l wanted to when l was trying to come to terms with this huge change, especially under covid restrictions.
I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Craig-en-Goyne.
Many thanks for submitting such a positive review of Craig-en-Goyne. Hopefully, things will be back to normal very soon and the family will be able to visit again as before.
The staff are fantastically caring people who go the extra mile to keep the residents occupied and as active as possible. My mum's key worker has been outstanding and has really taken her duties well and truly beyond her remit, she has even taken calls from me even when she has been off duty.
This example of commitment has let me see that the care package at Craig-en-Goyne doesn’t end with the resident. Very many thanks to all the staff that have and continue to be involved in my mum's care from cleaners to carers to management and all in between. You are all immense.
Thank you very much for your kind words. The staff will really appreciate their efforts being recognised in this way.
Everyone is so helpful and friendly, this also helped with my transition this time knowing a friendly face and knowing what to expect.
Obviously different carers have different personalities and sometimes reflects on care but no real issues.
Our mother came to this home in July 2017 and can say we have been delighted with her care. We visit Mum twice daily and we are very familiar with all the staff. Staff always pay attention to detail making sure her hair is done and her jewellery on - two important things that mum liked. Family members are always made to feel very welcome when we visit.
