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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

My 91 year old father went to The Old Rectory for six weeks following a partial hip replacement due to a fall at home. The care he received from the whole care team, along with the physio rehab that he received was excellent and he was able to return home with the confidence needed to continue living in his own home.
07 January 2025
The whole experience from day one has been excellent. My father has been cared for to a very high level by a wonderful caring team. He has been treated with dignity and respect. The team have been very accommodating and understanding of his needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Old Rectory. Many thanks.

The Old Rectory is situated in a very peaceful area and has a really welcoming atmosphere. All the staff are professional and treat both patients and visitors with the utmost respect. The accommodation is very tastefully furnished and facilities are available suitable for all needs. My husband has been in the home since August. I am able to visit daily and am very satisfied with the care he is receiving.

My father has been a resident at the Old Rectory for over three years. We have had brilliant support as a family with his transition from him living independently alone to a care home environment. I cant say he 'wanted' to move into care, as he believed he was quite capable of being in his own home! The fact is he could no longer do that without a full time live-in carer. Which he equally did not want. Thanks to the help and understanding of the Old Rectory, Dad (slowly) made his transition and recognises the value of having a specialist team there (24/7) to help him. He has a relatively formal side to his character which must be challenging for some people to deal with, but it is lovely to see his relationships with the different team members at the Old Rectory who have each found their own way to engage effectively with him. You can't make it up with Dad, and it is great to see the enjoyment he gets from each little interaction with the team.
