19 January 2026
A relative has lived at Eschol House since early last year (25). Very frail on entry, now much improved, due to regular medicine regime.
The staff are friendly and although busy, are available to chat. Support offered reflects what the resident will accept.
Overall, a positive experience.
A
personal issue is that it is quite distant from where I live. Visits are not as often as they could be.

Caring friendly Nursing home where guests are treated with respect and kindness - they do not pretend to have all bells and whistles (thankfully) but provide safety and everything necessary. Chef also very good . My mother came for care and respite after a hospital admission and even though it was
Christmas could not have been better looked after . Beautiful location too with lovely sea/village views from the lounge area.

A wonderful experience for my 87 year old mother in law. She has no mobility and the nursing care she receives is second to none. She will be leaving this lovely care home in January to return to her home and she will really miss it. The food is excellent. The staff are excellent. Always cheerful
and willing to work to keep her happy and safe. Thank you so much Eschol. We will miss our visits to see Granny when she leaves. Thank you once again for everything.

My mother stayed at Eshcol house between August and Sept 2025. The staff there were absolutely brilliant. Julie on the front desk always greeted with you with a smile and a brief up date. Communication from Monica our the nurse is always up to date with all the medical info.
All the staff
throughout out the home were so polite and helpful you couldn't fault their care and professionalism.
The care home is situated at just off the main road leading into Portscatho with an amazing sea view. It's a little short on parking but I did find a space every time I visited. The home was a hotel quite sometime ago so the corridors are fairly narrow but they have made good use of alcoves and storage spaces so everyone can move around freely.
Overall it has a nice homely feeling and it couldn't be more welcoming.

I cannot compliment Eshcol Nursing home enough, there quality of care, kindness and dignity to my mum was outstanding!!! The expertise staff were brilliant, they kept us informed about everything, nothing was ever too much trouble. I would definitely recommend this wonderful home in a beautiful
picturesque village to anyone.

Eshcol House is a most welcoming, friendly caring home. The residents are very happy and well cared for.
The staff are always on hand to see to their needs.
The atmosphere is always helpful, cheerful and positive. I recommend this home without reservation.

My mother has moved to Eschol House following a fall and a long stay in hospital.
Her recovery whilst with Eschol House has been a pleasure to watch with her mobility improving markedly and her spirits improving all the time.
The staff have been relentlessly positive and supportive and have made a
huge difference to my mother who is regaining her confidence and cheerful disposition.

Right from my initial contact with the team at Eshcol to Mum moving in nothing has been too much trouble and the move has been made as smooth as possible.
All the staff are lovely, friendly and very caring and have made Mum feel very welcome. They have also encouraged her to join in some of the
activities which is great.
It has been a tough few months for Mum after a bad fall and breaking her hip meaning she could no longer live at home and finding Eshcol has been a great relief for the family knowing she is in a friendly local home and receiving all the care she needs.
The food is great and this too has improved Mum's outlook not to mention the lovely sea view from her room.
Thank you to all the team at Eshcol.

My father was in Eshcol House from November 2024 until late May 2025.
In that time I was able to visit regularly and always considered him to have excellent care.
Although the facilities were fine,the most outstanding feature was the care given by
the staff.
This was of huge importance to me
and I was always very happy with it.
I believe that made all the difference to my dad's happy time there.

I'd visited my friend several times before and as usual, I was favorably struck by the tidiness of Eschol House. A nice pleasantly clean atmosphere. My friend who has been bedridden for around 4 years was pleased to see me and settled in for a long chat. Intermittently, a knock on the door, a head
poked around it and a voice "everythin ok" offer of refreshments for my friend - and for me. Staff demonstrated a caring attitude throughout.

A fantastic care home set in the beautiful Cornish village of Porthscatho. The staff are brilliant and truly care about their residents. My Mother in law has been living there for about a year and had been extremely ill prior to moving to Eshcol. With their care and support she has made a full
recovery. A definite recomend!

Lovely caring staff the food is excellent quality mum well looked after with a great choice of activities to keep her occupied we are always made to feel very welcomed. When we visit even the children are well happy with the treats provided which is a bonus
13 May 2025
My friend absolutely loves being in Eshcol House. She cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and feels very safe and cared for. She often says to me, "Don't worry about me, I am very well looked after in here" Staff are doing their utmost to get her mobile again and have brought in special
equipment to help her.
12 May 2025
My friend is vegetarian and there is little choice or variety in the food provided.
02 May 2025
My friend was only in Eschol for a short time before she passed away but I would like to say she was well looked after, the staff are so friendly and all her needs were met, great home and staff, they even changed her room when one with a sea view became available which was very much appreciated.
01 May 2025
The transformation in my friend was astonishing. She was unwell before visiting and very unsure and resistant to the idea of even going into a care home. When I invited her two days later, she was relaxed, happy and had regained her zest for life, and was very glad to be in Eshcol. She felt looked
after, enjoyed the company of the staff and wants to move in! She loved her room and being able to see the sea and being able to easily access the garden - her favourite place to be!

Friendly, caring staff in an attractive sea-view location in this pretty old fishing village. As a visitor made very welcome. Excellent pub close by for meals with indoor and outdoor seating. This review will not be accepted unless I submit at least 200 characters, so this paragraph will hopefully
fill this objective!

I experienced great kindness, consideration and warmth while I was staying at Eshcol. The staff did all they could to meet my needs and made me feel very welcome. The room I stayed in was just right, sea view, access to the garden and fresh air.
11 April 2025
The staff were very caring and helped my mother-in-law to make her stay as comfortable as possible. They even let us visit with her cat, which was a great comfort. The lady on reception was great and regularly suggested things that could be done to help my mother-in-law while keeping us informed of
any changes during her stay. We were always welcome to visit at any time and were very confident that she was being looked after and in safe, caring hands.
09 April 2025
I spent half an hour with my relative. Two staff left as I arrived having given her some care. Snacks and drinks were available by her bed if required. The atmosphere is bright and happy. All the staff are cheerful and polite. Residents were either visiting in their rooms with door ajar or in the
lounge chatting. We recalled that my mother spend 18 happy months there at the end of her life.
