Located opposite the popular Burford Garden Company, Cotswold Gate Care Home is situated just a five minute drive from Burford’s famous high street. Burford and its surrounding areas include notable locations such as Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold.

Once an agricultural village, Burford is a picturesque town with plenty of local amenities. Positioned less than an hour from both Cheltenham and Oxford, Cotswold Gate Care Home is the perfect place to enjoy all that these nearby cities have to offer whilst still benefitting from the peacefulness of countryside living.

Cotswold Gate Care Home offers 24-hour residential, nursing, dementia and respite care in an environment purpose-built for the practical delivery of high-quality care whilst still being stylish, comfortable and incorporating many thoughtful features that are always tailored towards the satisfaction and safety of our residents.

Experienced and empathetic care comes as standard at every Porthaven care home, and at Cotswold Gate our team of hand-selected individuals are available to support not only the physical needs of our residents but their emotional, intellectual and spiritual needs too. We place a particular emphasis on encouraging independence and promoting wellbeing through good nutrition, hydration and engagement.

Every resident at Cotswold Gate Care Home benefits from a generously sized bedroom with an ensuite wetroom, as well as numerous communal living areas for socialising with loved ones, engaging in their hobbies and dining. Our residents also have access to our state-of-the-art gym, cinema, café and hair and nail salon. A dedicated activities and wellbeing room and a private dining room for special family occasions completes the array of first-class facilities on offer here at Cotswold Gate.

Cotswold Gate Care Home is a place to live well in our care in style. We would be delighted to speak to you and show you around our home so you can see for yourself what makes a Porthaven home so special.

News & Events at Cotswold Gate

A wild adventure at All Things Wild

This month, two of our residents recently enjoyed an unforgettable day at the All Things Wild nature centre—a magical place full of animals, nature, and hands-on fun! 

From ring-tailed lemurs and meerkats to exotic birds and reptiles, there was so much to see and learn. Our residents loved exploring both the outdoor and indoor attractions, getting up close to animals and even imagining stepping back in time with the dinosaur exhibits.

It was a fantastic day that left everyone smiling, full of stories to share and already planning their next visit!

Celebrating our talented head chef, Ilona!

We are delighted to announce that our Head Chef, Ilona, won her regional heat in Bristol and is now in the final of the NACC Chef of the Year competition.

Ilona was asked to design a two-course menu including a main course and a dessert suitable for our residents. Everyone competing had to work to a budget, and the main meal had to be nutritionally balanced and incorporate certain products.

After 90 minutes, Ilona presented her final piece, impressing the judges with her take on a coq au vin and a whiskey and orange crème brûlée.

From all of us at Cotswold Gate Care Home, congratulations, Ilona, and good luck for November!

Cotswold Gate’s Wimbledon party

About a month ago, our wonderful residents at our Cotswold Gate Care Home celebrated Wimbledon. We enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon watching the matches while indulging in the classic treat of strawberries and cream, which brought plenty of smiles and laughter to the day. 

To make the day even more special, our talented kitchen team created an amazing Wimbledon-themed cake that was as delicious as it sounds. A huge thank you to them for their hard work and creativity!

We are also really grateful to everyone who joined us and spent time with our residents; it made the day feel extra special, and everyone had a wonderful time.
