I regularly visit my father-in-law at Dovecote Manor and I am very pleased with the home. I usually take my doggy in to see him and she is always very welcome; the front desk staff even have some treats for visiting doggies. The staff are always very welcoming and I never worry about the care my
father-in-law is receiving. His room and the general area is always clean and tidy and I feel that he is treated with respect and courtesy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dovecote to others and indeed I have already done so.

The staff at Dovecote are friendly and welcoming. They've always been quick to respond to any queries and are eager to help residents and their families. They genuinely care for the residents and I feel my grandfather is treated with dignity and respect at all times. There is a lovely community
atmosphere within Dovecote and the range of activities and events for residents is impressive. Although my grandfather does not tend to participate in the group activities, I'm grateful that he has the opportunity.

Always made to feel welcome whenever I visit. The staff are always approachable and have always assisted when requested. Dad is very comfortable and is well looked after in his room, which is kept spotlessly clean. The facilities overall are excellent, as well as the activities that are laid on for
the residents. The staff are very good at communicating to the family and endeavour to address any concerns.
It's reassuring that dad is in a safe place and well cared for.
12 January 2026
The staff are always very polite and knowledgeable on what my father's requirements are. They are always courteous and very professional in their day to day working. Nothing is too much trouble for them and it is comforting to know he is being well looked after.

The Dovecote staff know my family member well and nothing is ever too much trouble for this lovely care team.
The Dovecote carers and team are well supported and led by the Care Home manager who ensures the highest quality care.
He is a visible and approachable leader and I can see how well
respected he is by his team.
The housekeeping service including cleaning and laundry is of an excellent standard.
There are numerous recreational activities at Dovecote, either group or at the bedside. I really appreciate the photos / videos sent through to me.
Placing a loved one in a care home is a difficult decision, but knowing that they are safe and so well cared for makes such a difference. Thankyou Dovecote

It is reassuring to know that my family member is being cared for so well by the loveliest of staff. They are very professional and it's clear to see that they work seamlessly together to provide the best care for all the residents. There is always a lovely atmosphere in the home and it's kept
impeccably clean. The home is really good at communicating and keeping me updated about my father, which is very much appreciated, as are seeing pictures of him taking part in any social activities.

I see residents coming into the garden with carers. They chat and laugh. There is plenty of entertainment. The food is good with a varied diet. Residents seem really content. The carers are caring and are genuinely fond of the residents like family.

A lovely care home with friendly caring staff. My father is very happy at Dovecote Manor. I am really gald that we found this care home. It is so much better than where he was before. There is a good range of activities and choice of food.

Staff approachable and happy to assist with care to ensure comfort.

A welcoming and friendly place, the team are always receptive and thoughtful. Facilities are excellent and, although my mother doesn't always participate, it's lovely to have the opportunity to try different things. I can't praise all of the team at Dovecote enough. My mother is happy and safe,
which is so reassuring.
04 December 2025
Utmost care and diligence and cannot express enough my gratitude to all staff. My father receives the best care. As a family we are extremely happy.
26 November 2025
As my Mother's dementia has advanced she has been treated with dignity and care. I am always kept informed of any concerns. I am made to feel welcome every time that I visit the home.
The home is well kept and although my Mother is now not able to participate there are many activities held in
the home to stimulate and provide pleasure to the residents.

In October we needed to find 24 hour dementia care for my father urgently. Dovecote Manor Care Home was extremely responsive, efficient, helpful and kind in arranging for him to visit, assessing him and within a couple of days moving him in. The manager went beyond the expected call of duty in doing
this and has been very supportive throughout this move. All the staff at the home are kind, professional, motivated and expert at caring for the residents. They always make us feel welcome to visit my father, and have been very sympathetic in helping us to deal with what has been a difficult time for us. The atmosphere at the home is cheerful and it is always very clean and well decorated and maintained. The rooms are a good size and the home is comfortable. My father enjoys the food, which always looks appetising. The activities seem very good and well planned. There is a beautiful little garden, now lit up spectacularly for Christmas. I feel very lucky that my dad is living there.

Our mum is so happy living here. The comfort and care are exceptional. The activities are brilliant and my mum joins in all of them. The meals are nutritious and appetising. The care home is a loving, welcoming place. The staff are amazing with all residents and are hand to help 24/7. The care home
in our opinion as a family is the best ever.
21 November 2024
The staff are all caring and always know what has been going on. The activities are amazing and lots going on. Cannot not fault the home.

I come to Dovecote to visit my mom. She has a lovely room and my brother and my husband have made it homely for her. The staff are very helpful and patient. The home is clean and well-kept - it's great seeing the residents enjoying the entertainment and crafts. My husband and I are very pleased with
the care and attention they give to everybody, residents and visitors alike.
16 October 2024
I visit my friend who is a resident at Dovecote Manor on a regular basis and she always looks happy and healthy. When I have visited during mealtimes, the food looks well presented and tasty. The staff are friendly and helpful and I have seen that there are always plenty of things to do. It is good
to know that my friend is safe and well cared for.
16 October 2024
I feel so blessed with all the kindness and love I have received from the wonderful staff at Dovecote Manor. I always feel welcome to take part in activities and events.

I have lived here for 7 months it is wonderful. I like the people and the food and care are wonderful.
02 August 2024
Dad has been at Dovecote for a few months now and the change in him has been incredible. He is so much healthier, cleaner and happier than when he was trying to look after himself. All of the staff are amazing and I actually enjoy going in to visit him.
