I had excellent care, and excellent food at The Old Rectory while I was staying after my recent surgery. The entertainment was good as well. Not easy to please everyone. A very homely place. Well furnished in the rooms.

My mother in law stayed at The Old Rectory last November 2025 for respite while we went on holiday and she absolutely loved it. So much so she would like to come back this May when we go away again. She's a very sociable lady, so she loved going to all the activities and having sherry before lunch.
I would like to say thank you to everyone for taking care of her and we look forward to seeing you in May.

I had a very comfortable stay at The Old Rectory.
Day to day the meals were varied and high quality and the staff were caring, well trained and proactive.
However, it is the peripheral considerations that made my stay so comfortable. For instance, the Christmas lunch was exceptional and made
what could have been a difficult time of the year so much easier. Furthermore, having such a good hairdresser on site was also a massive bonus (having been unable to wash my hair for weeks in hospital). Overall, The Old Rectory upheld a high service in all areas that contribute to an individual's stay and I couldn't recommend them more.

I have had a great time here looked after, fed well and each member of staff as been so caring.

My husband came to the Old Rectory for two weeks after a hip replacement operation. He had extra care needs, as he also has Parkinson's disease, and the staff were exemplary in ensuring that he was safe and well cared for at all times. The general manager, the physios, nurses and carers were all as
kind, helpful and knowledgable as possible. Nothing was too much trouble and every challenge was met. The home is in beautiful, peaceful surroundings, and the lovingly tended gardens are a delight. The rooms are clean, comfortable and homely, with plenty of light, and windows onto the gardens full of flowers. We had several visitor lunches, and were most impressed with the high quality of the delicious food, and the way the meals were served. Altogether an excellent care home, and highly recommended.

I have no hesitation in recommending The Old Rectory nursing home. It is an oasis of good taste. The rooms are well furbished and clean. The care is good and friendly and the food is excellent. The chef deserves a special mention.
22 August 2025
I had a very pleasant experience. The staff and others including the management were extremely polite + helpful. The food was excellent. The physio therapist helped enormously. Overall an amazing stay.

My wife was at The Old Rectory for 20 days for post operative care after a trauma break to her femur. The medical, physio and general sympathetic care were all excellent. We had good communication with the general manager (who was hands on and led from the front). The head physio was extremely
helpful; they and all the staff were pleasant, kind, and sympathetic. They all knew and carried out their duties admirably and professionally (relevant to my wife, the night nursing was thoughtful and attentive). The room, although comfortable, the ensuite was a little small, but we were lucky to find a room in a lovely house and surroundings at such short notice, so 'no complaints'.
We did not use the facilities and activities, but did enjoy a 'Songs of Praise' in the garden in conjunction with the local church. As to value for money, it is the market!

I came here for a week to recover from a full knee replacement. I am 82. From the moment I arrived I have received exemplary treatment and care. Smiling staff always with a warm greeting, so so caring, nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is excellent - flavoursome and quite delicious, it
has been an aid to my recovery, beautifully presented.
Physio 5 days, again excellent and I am now able to walk for a short distance without crutches. Excellent care throughout.
24 July 2025
I stayed for one week of respite care with my partner after her surgery. This was similar to staying in a luxury hotel with extremely kind and helpful staff. The home is in a delightful rural setting and the food and service were excellent. The staff worked as a very smoothly running team. Nothing
was too much trouble for them. The medical support was extremely good.
08 July 2025
This was my second stay at The Old Rectory for post-operative care following surgery. What a lovely group of helpful management and staff, many local, but many from abroad. Always smiling and willing to cope with sometimes unpleasant jobs, very helpful staff. Fascinating to hear about their
countries, and I was impressed by their good use of the English language. Nothing was too much trouble - I felt very relaxed during my stay. I recommend this home to others. I had a wonderful stay. Special thanks to the manager for all their efforts.
07 July 2025
My week of respite and convalescent care following surgery has been brilliant. Without exception the staff are caring, attentive and always prompt in attending to requests. The nursing care was excellent with prompt attention to an infection which prevented further complications. Staff ratio to
residents is very good indeed. Most enjoyable activities took place which provided social time. Food is excellent. The Old Rectory is situated in the idyllic Surrey Hills. This has been a good time of rest and restoration and a necessary transition between hospital and home. Thank you all at the Old Rectory.

I have heard other residents say "it's like a 5 star hotel with excellent nursing care" I couldn't agree more. The social side is a taken care of as well, with an excellent VE Day Party in the grounds.
20 June 2025
Staff are caring. The rooms are a little small but very clean. The food and service are both excellent. The nurses are on 24/7 call and there is a very efficient care system which is rather rare and can be moved around with the patient. Very good physio care is vital and the Old Rectory has achieved
this by careful selection of a carefully chosen expert pool of chartered physiotherapists. They are carefully chosen and vetted.
20 June 2025
Very favourable. Every member of staff who looked after me were kind, efficient, caring, good-natured and professional in every way. Right at the top of the tree as far as I'm concerned. Well done, the Old Rectory.

My father moved to The Old Rectory Care Home, initially on a respite stay but he immediately felt welcomed and comfortable and it was his choice to become a permanent resident. All the staff are always cheerful, with a pleasant word to residents, visitors and each other. Nothing is ever too much
trouble, including reminding Dad frequently to press the call button if he wants something! Visitors are welcome anytime, the signing in and out system is straightforward to use. Activities are very varied, both regular events - chair exercises, board games and bingo, and the opportunity to turn a 'notable date' into a celebration for all, making residents feel part of an active community - Bonfire Night, Divali, Burns Night, Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day are some of the recent events.

I have just spent ten days convalescing following cardiac surgery at The Old Rectory. It was an excellent experience. The staff were caring and kind and gave me a lot of autonomy. The food was excellent and they catered extremely well with my intolerance of gluten and dairy. The nursing home is in a
beautiful setting, all very conducive to helping recovery.

I recently spent a week at The Old Rectory in Ewhurst. From the moment I arrived I was greeted warmly and made to feel welcome. All members of staff are very professional and I was treated with kindness and respect. Nothing was too much trouble. My visitors were also made very welcome. The rooms are
bright and airy with lovely views of the well-kept grounds. It is a very well-run care home. I thoroughly recommend The Old Rectory and fully intend to return when the need arises.
30 January 2025
This is the second time I have stayed at The Old Rectory for convalescence, as I was so pleased the first time. Everyone was so friendly and helpful and could not do enough to please you.
I would recommend this home immensely.

My mother has lived at The Old Rectory for 2 years now. She has dementia and needs kind support. We have found the staff, without exception to be patient and caring. All enjoy their work and always set about to create a loving family environment for the residents. We are hugely grateful for a local
home from home where she is happy and safe.
