When visiting this Care Home I was welcomed via cheerful staff. They showed me around and then lead me to my friend. She was enjoying an activity.
Lovely surroundings, like a 5 star hotel.
She enjoyed a lovely meal restaurant standard! While I was there and as it was a lovely day we seat by the
window in the afternoon enjoyed the warm sunshine and watched the birds and squirrels in the grounds.
Beautiful place and great atmosphere.

I stayed at Dorking Manor Care Home for two weeks of respite care and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcome, comfortable, and well looked after. The staff were amazing throughout my stay, so kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. Nothing felt like too much
trouble, and their friendly approach made a real difference to how settled and relaxed I felt. I also really appreciated the company. As someone who lives on my own, it was lovely to have people around and to feel part of a warm, supportive environment. One of the highlights of my stay was the amazing spa bath experience, which I found incredibly relaxing. It felt like a real treat, and it really helped me unwind and feel thoroughly pampered and refreshed.
Overall, I'm very grateful for the care and kindness I received and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dorking Manor to anyone considering a stay.

My mum recently spent two weeks in respite care at Dorking Manor Care Home and it was such a positive experience for her. From the moment she arrived, she felt comfortable and at ease thanks to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The facilities and décor throughout the home are truly beautiful and
thoughtfully designed, spotlessly clean, and inviting, which made her stay even more pleasant. The staff were exceptional, always attentive, kind, and patient, making sure she was well looked after at all times. My mum particularly enjoyed participating in the various activities organised throughout her stay, which offered her both stimulation and enjoyment. Overall, the care home provided excellent support, and my mum left feeling refreshed and happy. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home for anyone considering respite care for their loved ones.

We had to find a care home quickly due to a family bereavement. Dorking Manor came to our aid very quickly and placed Mum within a couple of days. The staff have done everything they can to make the transition as smooth and comfortable as possible.

Mum finds the home unique. Staff are excellent. Mum is very happy here. A lovely setting, nice and modern. The medical attention is very focused and good. Mum cannot wait to get outside into the garden and sit on her balcony.

My mother had a lovely experience. It was great respite - we were reassured that she was in very good hands. Beautiful room at the home, with amazing facilities, excellent staff and management. Would definitely use this wonderful home again.

This is an outstanding care home, with superb accommodation and friendly and caring staff creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
We have been so impressed with every aspect of the service.
For dementia patients, feeling safe, secure, and able to relax is paramount .
Dorking Manor is in a class
of its own.

I was lucky enough to spend a 3 week respite stay at Dorking Manor. It is a lovely care home, beautifully appointed with a homely yet swanky feel about it. All staff that I encountered were kind, friendly and very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble for anyone. I immediately felt at home and
happy there. The food was superb, plentiful and there was excellent choice. I particularly like the spa bathroom and my family and friends who visited loved the bistro and the cinema room. Would happily return for future respite.

I have visited my friend (resident) regularly for some months and have seen a huge improvement in both her mental and physical health in that time. I'm told the food is excellent.

Since our relative arrived, we have experienced nothing but excellent all-round service and kindness towards us all. Beautifully clean and great dedication to personal hygiene.

When we came to look around, we were taken aback by the place, beautifully decorated, clean and not what I was expecting from a care home. The staff have made us all feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The room is light and airy with a wonderful en suite and verandah overlooking the
gardens. We feel lucky to have found the place. Thanks to all!

I visited my friend Pat for the first time today and was extremely impressed. The care home was welcoming and spotlessly clean. The staff were polite and helpful - and they served me with a very nice coffee. Pat looked well cared for and clean, and her bedroom and bathroom were immaculate.

You have been absolutely fantastic at taking in and looking after my aunt, who was so frail when she arrived. The first time I came to visit and found her dancing, I cried. I knew she would be so happy. Thank you everyone for being so kind and welcoming to Belinda.

Mum had a lovely respite stay at Dorking Manor, she really felt like she had a little holiday. My mum is a very poor eater but she reported that the food "was out of this world". She enjoyed the activities, especially the exercise sessions. Her care was amazing, she always looked immaculate, as did
her surroundings. Staff were always gentle and smiley in their approach. She returned home more engaged and stronger.

I have been at Dorking Manor Care Home for 4 months, and cannot fault the care and attention shown by all the staff. They are all so friendly and helpful, and nothing is too much trouble for them. If you have a problem that the staff can't deal with, the management are also very kind and caring. I
am enjoying my stay at Dorking Manor Care Home, and will be here for many more years.

My husband has been at Dorking Manor for 3 months now.
I am happy with the manner in which my husband is cared for. The carers are very attentive, caring and treat residents with dignity.
I feel my husband is safe and given a lot of one to one care which he needs for his type of dementia.
26 August 2025
Very kind and caring staff. Two-week stay for rehabilitation was very successful. Much improved overall. A very calm atmosphere which has been very appreciated.
26 August 2025
A lovely occasion, and well organised with great food, thank you.

My son and I decided after over a year of caring for my husband with dementia that we needed a break. A fortunate accident led us to approaching Dorking Manor Care Home. Their very friendly reception of us alongside the attractive buidling and surroundings and obvious care of the residents by the
working staff, led us to booking a 2 week respite break. My husband seemed very content there and the staff showed great patience coping with his nightime incontinence.
The Home readily agreed to extending his stay by a further week when I became unwell. After the three weeks in the Home we brought him back to the family home and he seems to have settled back here very easily. His memory is virtually non-existent but the few comments he has made suggests he was quite happy to be in the Home. We hope to make use of the Home for further respite breaks.

Since my mother-in-law became a resident at Dorking Manor, they have provided excellent service and care, and consequently she adjusted quickly to her new normal. The staff are amazing, and always keep me informed of her day to day. They are always friendly and available if I need to speak to them.
The home is spotless, and the food they provide, and various entertainments are first class. I am greatly impressed with their friendly and professional approach to all aspects of my mother-in-law's care.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home to anyone looking for a caring and comfortable care home for their loved ones.
