My mum had respite care at Cuttlebrook Hall following a stay in hospital. It was just what she needed. Everyone was so kind and caring and many friendships were made. Mum extended her stay as she was enjoying her time at Cuttlebrrok Hall. She came home fully recuperated and back on her feet!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Cuttlebrook Hall have been excellent at helping my mother settle in, and were extremely helpful when we asked to bring her admission forward. Everyone has been so kind and patient with her and also with us, sensitively recognising that the transition to residential care impacts the whole
family. I’m very reassured by the continued care my mother is receiving, in a safe, supportive and compassionate environment. All staff are always very welcoming and hospitable.
As you would expect with a new building which is not yet at full capacity, the facilities are in perfect condition and the furniture and decoration give a feeling of luxury.

My mother has been in the home for 1 week the only thing that I would comment on is the single beds feel they could be three-quarters, other than that - food hygiene and staff are very nice.
Reply from Samantha Debenham, Reviews Team at Cuttlebrook HallThank you so much for rating Cuttlebrook Hall 5 stars and your lovely comments about our team, in regard to the size of our beds, we do have a small number of three-quarter beds, the home manager will be in touch to discuss the options of a bigger bed.

Review from Cathy R (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was staying for 2 weeks of respite care and was very worried and anxious about his stay, having had a previous bad experience in a care home.
All the staff have made this stay a much more positive experience and worked really hard in the first few days where my dad was pretty stubborn and
determined not to like his time there! It ended up with him enjoying a wonderful carol concert and singing his heart out!
Unfortunately, Dad became unwell during his stay and had a trip to hospital, his time was due to finish but he needed to stay a bit longer and the staff went out of their way to sort this for us. Communication between the home and myself was excellent.
The care he received was excellent and he was encouraged to join activities he wouldn't normally have done. The food, surroundings and welcoming atmosphere made it a pleasure to go and visit him.

From the outset, very welcoming, helpful and friendly professional staff.
Whatever your needs are they will try and accommodate.
Professionalism shows because they care about the finer elements of each individual's personal support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father and I arranged to visit Cuttlebrook Hall and the staff could not have be more welcoming and helpful. We were shown around the facilities, shown the styles of room, and meet current residents. The brochures we took away were also helpful. Particularly the summary sheets. Having decided that
he wanted to leave his independent living in his own home, my father was keen to move quickly and not sit in limbo. Cuttlebrook Hall facilitated his quick admission and one staff member in particular spent one on one time helping my father right from day one. It is a very big change for my father. He is settling in and when I phone him I get a consistent 'the staff are lovely and the food is lovely'. He loves his food, and also the doggie visitors. I had to leave him to return to my home in Ireland. My calls since with the management have been both constructive and very caring. All the staff I met, from the youngest to the oldest, were kind and caring. Cuttlebrook Hall has given me peace of mind.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum arrived at Cuttlebrook Hall to such a friendly, warm and welcoming group of staff, which was simply wonderful.
The care my mum has received has been absolutely first rate from carers, activity coordinators, chefs, housekeeping and administrative staff.
No matter what anyone’s role, it would
appear at Cuttlebrook Hall that everyone pulls together to include the residents and help in any way they can.
The building and facilities are lovely and I feel so much less anxious myself, knowing that my mum is safe and being well looked after by such a kind and caring group of people.
Visitors are welcomed any time and the staff make a great effort to get to know us also! As well as always being on hand to discuss anything as and when the need arises.
All in all, Cuttlebrook Hall is proving to be a great success and I hope that it takes off and that they continue to provide the care and atmosphere that they are achieving so far.
Thank you all at Cuttlebrook Hall.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) out of 10 for Cuttlebrook Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 63 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 62 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 4.865 for Cuttlebrook Hall is calculated as follows: ( (652 Excellents x 5) + (93 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 749 Ratings = 4.865
  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 Cuttlebrook Hall is based on 62 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 62 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2024

I joined Care UK in May 2021 because I love their passion for residents and the training and support staff are provided.


I have management experience in both residential and nursing homes.


As a manager you need to be caring, have a great amount of patience and resilience to any obstacles that come up. It is important to have good communication with your team and show compassion to the people we provide care for.


My favourite part of each day is in the afternoon when everyone is calm and relaxed and I can take time to chat to residents and ask about their day.
