My partner arrived in March 2025. She has settled very well, and I'm delighted with the level of kindness, support and care. Also, medical reviews take place regularly. You can see my responses below make me feel very happy that my partner is cared for in Manor Born.
13 January 2026
I wanted to thank you so much for looking after my husband.
Even though he did not stay very long with you sadly, I did spend a lot of time with him at Manor Barn. I can truly say that every single person working there from cleaners, care assistants, cooks, nurses and doctors were exceptional in
their kindness and care.
The food was extremely good and I had a superb curry on a Saturday.
I also saw such lovely and loving interactions between staff and other residents, that I would certainly recommend Manor Barn to others.
At the end I felt both my husband and I were surrounded by a feeling of being loved, what more could we have asked for?

Wow. We were greeted with VIP parking, a lovely guided tour followed, it's more like a spa hotel than a nursing home. Beautiful decor, lovely Christmas decorations, amazing cinema room, bistro style dining room, lots of activities, al la carte food always. All staff are amazing who work extremely
hard to make sure all residents have the best life here. This is the best nursing home by far.

My brother was well cared for by people who were both very professional and compassionate.They would answer any questions that they were able to and they all know how to make a decent cup of coffee for visitors. I am unclear about "activities" as I was only a visitor. Value for money is unknown as
funded by NHS but would imagine they would be happy.

Staff very professional, caring and welcoming. Food very high standard. Complex is tidy and clean. Bedroom slightly cramped and small. Activities very good often and variable. Gardens well kept, attractive and useable. Medications dealth with well.

My mum has been in Manor Barn nursing home since June 2022. The care she receives is second to none. I could not be happier that she is in a caring and safe environment. The nursing home is always clean and tidy. They do lots of activities that cater for mum's need. The staff are very friendly and
very approachable nothing seems to much trouble for all the staff. The food is a very good selection and it's always nicely presented.
07 April 2025
The carers have been absolutely wonderful, particularly the two who did my personal care.
Two staff members brought me the most lovely meals and hot drinks, very thoughtful and took my preference into account.
I've felt very safe and looked after, like a big family. reception and activities team
are so warm and friendly. My needs have been listened to and treated respectfully.

The manager and staff at Manor Barn Nursing Home couldn't have been nicer. They were all very caring and knowledgeable and looked after my father so well in his month there. Sadly, he passed away whilst there but I couldn't have chosen a nicer place for him to be during the last few weeks of his
life. Would highly recommend.

My husband was cared for whilst I had a week's break. I was confident he would be well looked after in this lovely home. A week is not long to judge somewhere but I was confident he would be looked after well and he was. The staff I met were very friendly and caring, and everywhere was very
comfortable and clean. Very good choice of healthy food. The facilities are excellent. I had hoped he would take part in activities but he was confused and was not there long enough to get used to things. My rating as 'good' rather than excellent is purely because I only have a week on which to make a judgement.
07 August 2024
Wonderful caring environment to spend his last few months. The staff are fabulous. The garden views are beautiful and the food was lovely. Very kind and considerate of family and resident in final hours. Did not sample the activities as too poorly and no idea for value for money as was funded. Two
or three staff really went above and beyond and couldn't thank them more. My only request would be to ensure bed trays are cleaned a little more often used baby wipes to go over-otherwise very clean.
22 July 2024
I have visited on a number of occasions and found nothing but excellent, caring and attentive staff.
They are always welcoming and my stepfather is extremely well taken care of.
As a qualified nurse of many years I am always on the look out for any concerns, yet no matter when I arrive I have
always found excellent care. My stepfather has a poor appetite but the staff have tried their utmost to provide wonderful, nutritious food.
17 July 2024
Entrance drive poorly maintained. Also shrubs have been neglected.
Very few staff at weekend.
Administrator and lifestyle coordinator were very kind and helpful.
Staff take a long time to respond to call bell. Because of her lack of sight, her food needs to be cut into bite-size pieces.
Pity the
new greenhouse door isn't big enough to get a wheelchair in.

The manager came out to visit my mum to understand her likes/dislikes before she went into the home. All the staff were patient, caring, accommodating and helpful. The qualified nurses were particularly supportive to all the family and Mum received the care she needed. I recommend the home.
23 May 2024
I am thrilled with the care my husband is receiving. Every request I have made has been delivered. Outstanding manager and management. All the staff do their very best.
The domestic team ensure that the is cleaned to a high standard, the nice thing is they all talk to the residents every day. The
catering staff are fanatical in feeding the clients with their required nutritional needs. The nursing staff watch and monitor everything to provide sensible and kind nursing. I know the best possible care is being given to my darling husband.

When Mum was taken into Manot Barn, I really felt at ease. The place was so fresh, clean and inviting. Such lovely surroundings. I could not fault any of her care from any of the staff who were cheerful, attentive and very caring. Mum was only there 6 days before she passed and I can honestly say
the care was amazing. The dignity they showed to Mum and the compassion for me and my brother was out of this world. Highly recommend.

My mother, now 94 years old, has lived at Manor Barn for nearly 4 years, during which time her health has shown considerable improvement under the expert care of all the team. The COVID crisis was managed wonderfully well at Manor Barn, and my mother was kept safe - she could not have been in better
hands. My mother enjoys the arts and crafts activities in Manor Barn and takes part in games and quizzes. Holidays and special events like the Coronation are celebrated and residents' participation is encouraged.
The building and the gardens are peaceful and attractive, and while nobody really wants to leave their own home, if it turns out that you need to, then Manor Barn is a lovely place to be. For me, the quality of care and the improvements in my mother's health are what I value most of all.
Having recently transferred to new ownership it will be interesting to see how Manor Barn and its residents will benefit from the additional investment this will bring.

My Aunt who is now nearly 101 has been in Manor Barn for some years. Manor Barn has a stable and caring staff team managed by two ladies. It is a warm and welcoming place and the needs of my Aunt have been very well met, both when she was more intellectually able and also now at a time when her
capacity has declined. The communication I have had from staff has always been excellent.
19 January 2024
From the first day my mother moved into Manor Barn (20 months ago) I have been reassured that she is well cared for, safe and comfortable.
Family are always made very welcome when visiting, and I am kept up to date with any concerns.
My father also spent his final few weeks here a couple of years
ago. I cannot speak highly enough of the care he received, and the support I was given.
27 October 2021
Caring management and staff in a clean attractive, well-tended environment with good food. It is a peaceful place with limited "entertainment" but if that is what you are seeking it is ideal. Parking is easy although roads can be busy at rush hour.
