From initial contact onwards it was clear that Martello Manor is exceptional and just the place for my Mum (now resident). The facilities are so good. It is better than most hotels I have stayed in. The staff are caring, professional, and treat my loved ones how I would wish them to be treated. My mum has blossomed since moving into Martello Manor - it's the best thing to happen to her in many years.
Thank you for such heartfelt words. Hearing that your mum has truly blossomed since joining us is the greatest compliment we could receive. We're delighted that you feel so confident in the care she receives and incredibly grateful that you placed your trust in Martello Manor.

The ethos of excellence is embedded in every aspect of Martello Manor. The high quality of the environment is exceeded by the superb, enabling and empathetic care team, and the exceptional quality of the food. The unexpected gem is the activities team - not content with dedicating themselves to extraordinarily inclusive and varied activities they tread lightly in delicate areas offering residents and relatives confidential empathy when needed. A complete holistic experience. I haven't felt a moment of guilt that Mum now needs Martello Manor's support. I have just felt joy - and jealousy!
Thank you for such a moving review. Knowing that your mum's move to Martello Manor has replaced feelings of guilt with joy means more to us than we can say. Supporting families as well as residents is such an important part of what we do, and we're incredibly touched that you have felt that care and empathy around you both.
Everybody couldn't be more helpful. No negatives. I am so pleased my daughter found this care home. It has been an experience that I would recommend to anyone.

My 94 year old parents had adjoining rooms for two weeks respite care in July. After a bad care home experience in 2020 it took some convincing for them them to try it again. The management & Admission team were fantastic in getting them to come in, and once resident the service was every bit as good as promised. I'm hearing nothing but good things from my parents, their stay has really energised ,y mum * day seems very contented.

It's wonderful to hear that your mum has been energised and that they both came away with such positive memories. Your trust and kind words mean a great deal to us.
My mother moved into Martello Manor 11 days ago, it is never an easy decision. The Martello staff have been amazing in supporting my mother and me as her daughter, with this move. It's like a five star hotel with a bistro for residents to entertain visitors with coffees and fresh cakes and...
The dining room, where the residents can invite visitors to dine with them, is beautiful and the chef and his team really do care about the quality and taste of the food they serve, a great and balanced variety too . It is spotlessly clean and every attention to details is observed.
The staff right from the admissions manager to the care and ancillary staff have gone above and beyond in an effort to make this a great stress free experience.
I cannot recommend this care home enough, I can see the difference in Mums general welfare and health in the short time she has been there.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. We know how emotional the decision to move a loved one into care can be, so it means the world to us that you and your mum have felt so supported throughout the journey. We're delighted to hear that she has settled in so well and that you've already...
