Woodland View Lodge is amazing. We were recommended it after mum had to go into hospital. As soon as we arrived we felt at home and really safe.The staff are absolutely fabulous, all really friendly and caring - they really do go above and beyond. The rooms and facilities are great and everything is
kept spotlessly clean. Hairdresser and laundry are included in the cost and the cost of care in the Lodge is well worth the money. Mum has never eaten so well!

My mum has Parkinson's disease and my dad is in the early stages of Alzheimers. Despite being fiercely independent, they were no longer able to manage their independent lives without distress and compromised safety. They moved to WVL in October 2025 and settled in immediately! They, and our extended
family, have always been treated with the greatest respect, dignity, consideration and genuine affection. Mum refers to WVL as 'the hotel'! The food is excellent, their room feels like home and all visitors are welcomed with smiles and happy hospitality. I know my parents are safe 24/7 and are treated like respected 'elders'. We cannot praise the staff nor the home highly enough!

First class place for mum to be at wonderful staff + management nothing to much trouble. If we could give 11 I would. Thank you.

Family member was one of the 1st to stay here. She found the transition easy as staff are all amazing. They treat the residents with care + respect and above all dignity. She is very happy here. She's taken on outings, the shops etc. The staff in my opinion, are exceptional. Would highly recommend
this home.

Mum moved to this care home after a year in another one, she is really starting to feel at home here unlike the other care home. The staff are attentive, kind and unhurried and friendly. We hope the attention to detail will continue as the home fill towards capacity.

My partner is a private ambulance driver so does many patient transfers and says there are many nice homes, however this one is by far the best. My mother is the happiest I have seen her in years. The carers are faultless nothing is too much trouble 10/10 well done

One day after hip replacement surgery I came to Woodland View Lodge for two weeks' convalescence and recuperation. The care and attention I received was first class every member of staff was kind and helpful and I felt safe and in good hands. After two weeks I walked out with confidence ready to
start a normal life again. I would not hesitate to recommend it to those seeing the very best in care homes, Woodlands View Lodge is a shinning example of the real meaning of 'care'

Woodland View Lodge (WVL) is absolutely exemplary in its care of Mum. 'Care' being the operative word. The entire team, in no particular order - management, reception, maintenance, carers, cleaners and chef - are all actively engaged in making a difference to people's lives. Nothing seems to be too
much trouble and no detail is too small for them to be bothered with. Moving Mum to WVL has been a reassertion of her independence and dignity and not a loss of it. Finding the right care home was challenging and overwhelming at times. But the day we walked into WVL changed my view of care and considerably increased my mums quality of life. I hope that if you are considering a care option for yourself or someone in your care, you will drop by and see for yourself the exceptional team at work here. I feel certain that you won't need to look any further. I can honestly say that this is the most relaxed I've felt about mums well being for a very long time.
