Windlesham Manor

Windlesham Manor Welcome to Windlesham Manor. We have been a family run care home for 50 years and one of the oldest in Crowborough.

Well, Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle found inspiration here and we hope you will too. Windlesham Manor is a family-owned and run care home for the elderly in the heart of beautiful Sussex countryside where Sir Arthur lived for many years and wrote many of his works. Here at Windlesham our philosophy is that you go on flourishing throughout life and we find our residents do just that. It may be the interesting activities that are arranged and participated in, our chef’s delicious meals or just simply that the house and it’s lovely grounds are the perfect recipe. You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to see it happening! A country house setting on the outskirts of Crowborough, East Sussex, close to Crowborough Beacon Golf Club and the Ashdown Forest. The former and much-loved home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, now sympathetically extended, retains much of its original character and provides excellent accomodation for up to 40 residents. Windlesham Manor has gained a reputation over a forty year period for the highest standards of residential care. Its full-trained staff emphasise that this is a home and not an institution where caring for loved ones is undertaken in partnership with families. Paying close attention to each individual’s unique and personal needs and enabling them to live as independently as possible is a core principle.

Lest we forget. In respect and remembrance our residents sketched some beautiful poppy pictures.    🌺

We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming , who filled our home with laughter and smiles. Residents enjoyed cuddles with guinea pigs, a sweet and curious mouse came to say hello, and a gorgeous tortoise slowly wandered about to everyone’s delight. Being in the moment with these animals brought so much joy, and we are very grateful to the team for such a fabulous visit
