Review from Elizabeth K (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was very well cared for by all staff in the dementia nursing unit. In my mum's final days the staff showed great professionalism, kindness and compassion to my mum, my sister and myself. The nurse manager and her staff are a credit to the Conway group.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an excellent care home, run and staffed by caring professionals. A cheery, friendly atmosphere, despite the awkward times we have been going through with the pandemic. I could not ask for a better final home for my mother's care. Especially through the final weeks of her life. The staff and
manager go above and beyond their roles, to provide a happy and caring environment and were always welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A really great team ably guided by the manager. My Uncle received the most thoughtful care from a team of kind nurses and carers. Their devotion to him left me in no doubt that he was in a very clean, warm and loving environment. Thank you to all.

Review from Ruth L (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 August 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My darling father spent his last three weeks of life in The Cottage. We as family, cannot thank the nurse manager and the staff enough for the care and love that they showed to him. Dad was admitted in very poor health, during his time in The Cottage he was treated with dignity and respect.
Reply from Therese Conway, Director at The Cottage Care Home

Thank you for your very kind words which will be much appreciated by The Manager and her Team. I know the staff did their best to ensure your fathers stay in The Cottage was as comfortable as possible. We are very sorry for your loss.
Kind Regards

Review from Margaret L (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been in the care home for two years. Since going there she was in very poor health. With good medical and staff support, she is still with us at 99. The beds, clothes, and facilities are always clean. The home smells fresh, no urine smells when entering. They encourage residents to be up washed
and dressed. They have a nice day room with a separate dining room where they are treated with dignity.


Manager, nurses and all staff are approachable and if it is within their power they will fix any problems relatives may have. The activity manager works hard at everything, from running entertainment, games, singing, exercises and raising funding days. We like it. Hope if you ever need the facilities. I would certainly recommend it.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.075)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.075) out of 10 for The Cottage Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.1 out of 5 from 1 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 5.000 for The Cottage Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  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 3.075 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cottage Care Home is based on 1 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 = 3
    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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.075
  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.
