Review from the sister of a resident at The Manor House Barnard Castle
鈥淭he home is very well decorated extremely clean feeling more of a luxury hotel rather than a care home. She had the very best of professional care while staying there and appeared to be relaxed and content. The management and staff were always available to discuss any aspect that arose.鈥
