“I cannot recommend Lynden Hill Clinic highly enough.

Following a total hip replacement, a close family member spent just over two weeks at Lynden Hill for rehabilitation. Choosing the clinic proved to be one of the best decisions we made.

From the very first day, every member of staff demonstrated genuine kindness, professionalism and compassion. The standard of care was exceptional throughout.

I would particularly like to recognise the senior nurses, nurses and the night staff. The first few days after major surgery can be confusing and overwhelming, and they were simply outstanding. Their reassurance, patience and encouragement helped restore confidence at a time when it was needed most. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

The physiotherapy team were equally exceptional. Two sessions a day, together with stair practice, walking outdoors and gradually increasing mobility, made a remarkable difference. Their knowledge, motivation and positive attitude transformed what initially felt like an enormous challenge into steady, measurable progress. Watching the journey from a Zimmer frame to walking confidently on crutches was genuinely impressive.

The catering, housekeeping and support staff also deserve recognition. Everyone contributed to creating a warm, welcoming environment where recovery felt like the only priority.

Lynden Hill is a wonderful rehabilitation clinic with an outstanding team of professionals who genuinely care about their patients. Our whole family is incredibly grateful for everything they have done.

Thank you all for helping give someone their independence and confidence back.”

M Cronan, July 2026

“I stayed at Lynden Hill Clinic for a week, and can’t speak highly enough of all the physios who helped me start walking properly again after a total left hip replacement. Every one was helpful and reassuring, and knew exactly how much to push me, so that I felt confident to progress very quickly to crutches and now at home manage with one crutch. Two sessions a day kept me mobile and the exercises they give you to continue doing are very helpful. Thank you so much to everyone, and a special mention to Euan, who is still training, but was able to persuade me to walk outside for the first time and was again extremely careful and attentive.

I must also mention the fantastic care that I received from everyone at the clinic: all the nursing staff, the care staff and the excellent catering were all wonderful, and I felt supported and looked after at all times. Thank you all again for making my stay so good.”

C Gibson, July 2026

“I was a resident at the clinic between 15th and 23rd June 2026. I can only summarise my stay as exceptional. I went for rehabilitation following a complete hip replacement at Royal Berkshire Hospital. Without exception, all staff were kind, courteous, and I was made to feel very comfortable throughout my stay. Naturally, the physiotherapy aspect was the key reason for my stay. The physios were outstanding in getting me ready for home. I do wish to give my particular thanks to the nursing staff. My case was more than a straightforward hip replacement, as I spent 24 days in hospital with a range of complex medical issues requiring close monitoring following discharge to Lynden Hill Clinic. The resident RGN, Maddie Dogarel, took exceptional steps to ensure my medication and nursing care was carried out in an efficient, safe manner. Many thanks to you all at Lynden. I am now at home continuing to get my life back to normal, expedited by my stay at Lynden Hill Clinic.”

M Schwartz, July 2026

Following my total knee replacement I spent two weeks at Lynden Hill Clinic for rehabilitation. Quite frankly it was my best decision, as the care and attention that I received was second to none.

I had hydro and physio twice a day with amazing physios and staff. Lynden Hill Clinic ran like a very well oiled machine, with the staff taking full responsibility for me to get to my allotted appointments. Thank you Lynden Hill for making my stay so comfortable.

S Townsend, May 2026
“Had a fantastic 7 nights of post op care following a total knee replacement. All the staff were lovely, very skilled and attentive to what I needed, due to their desire to make my recovery the best possible, which they succeeded in providing, with the bonus that you quickly knew you were in the best of hands. Every aspect of the stay was over and above expectation and I highly recommend them. Grateful thanks for getting my mobility up to the level I could happily go home and could look after myself.”
R Peal, May 2026
“This was my 3rd stay at Lynden Hill after revision knee surgery. Found it to be professional, efficient and positive. Staff, without exception, are amazing and help with a smile. They made my birthday so, so special too, with cake and presents. Physiotherapist Srinivas has been brilliant. Physio twice a day has set me up for good long term recovery. Have recommended Lynden Hill without reservation to family and friends. Food is good too. I am going home feeling positive and happy, with good morale.”
K Hewgill, April 2026

“I attended Lynden Hill Clinic after my hip replacement surgery, I was happy to go as they had looked me very well after my first hip replacement. Incredibly, it was even better. The kindness of the staff, the lovely surroundings and care and concern for your welfare was unsurpassable. I would particularly like to mention Sophie who was very helpful after I discovered when I got home that I had left all my valuables in the safe! So not only is the care very good, you don’t have to worry about security either.”

A Mason, August 2025

“I have just spent 10 days here post total knee replacement operation. I can’t thank or praise them enough for their care and attention, & the physio sessions were a huge part of my recovery. I would never have made the progress I did without them. My room was lovely, the food was fresh & well presented & catered for whether you wanted a full meal or a sandwich. I am so so pleased I chose to go to Lyndon Hill, & my family were happy that I was being looked after & helped on the road to recovery. Nothing was too much trouble. I have to have my other knee done in not to distant future so am already planning to return there after that operation. I highly recommend. Thank you to all the staff who were so kind & helpful & tolerant.”

L Biggin, September 2025

“I have just spent 12 days at Lynden Hall after having hip replacement surgery. I arrive 2 days after surgery not able to do anything for myself. I left able to fully take care of myself. The Physiotherapy was excellent; all the physiotherapists knew exactly what was needed to strengthen my muscles and I was soon able to enjoy walking round the gardens. If you are having a hip replacement, this is the place to come to ensure the best possible outcome. I only wish I lived closer so that I could continue as an outpatient! Really good value for money!”

J Birch, May 2025

“A truly wonderful experience of rehab after hip surgery. Without a week at Lynden Hill I would have found it so much more difficult to manage on my own. The nursing staff and physio are fantastic and the care is second to none. My thanks to everyone who have helped my speedy recovery.”

J Glynn, May 2025

“I cannot praise the whole experience highly enough. The Clinic itself, in its beautiful surroundings, is charming. As well as the comfortable, well appointed rooms, the main reception rooms, in particular the dining room and drawing room, greatly enhanced my stay.

The kitchens produced excellent menu choices every day with a delicious range of meals designed to tempt even the most delicate appetite, all beautifully served. Afternoon tea, served in the drawing room, and several times accompanied by a live pianist, was a great treat too.

Most importantly of all I was at all times well looked after by the friendly and caring staff at the clinic, including the nursing staff, the carers, and I must especially mention the incredible physiotherapy department, who did such a great job of establishing a rigorous and effective exercise regime. This ensured that I left with a sense of confidence as well as an already considerable improvement in mobility which translated into excellent progress using my knee to the maximum benefit in the ensuing weeks and months.

I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful and positive start to my road to recovery.”

Dr H S Streeten, May 2024

“These days it is easily to be disappointed with service that is promised.  But not at Lyndon Hill. I went there to speed my recovery after a knee revision and it was everything they offered. You press a nurse call button and wait no longer than two minutes, you get expert physios twice a day after a truly through assessment, you are in relaxing surroundings and actually begin to feel that you were born to live in a magnificent country house surrounded by your own staff and greenery.

Patients are relaxed – essential for speeding the recovery – and therefore easy to get on with. The staff are clearly skilled and really do enjoy working there. It is small enough to feel very personal but big enough to be able to recruit the right people.

But what about the bill at the end? They don’t pursue extras and you pay what you expected rather than having to trawl through to see if you really did commit yourself to all that added expense.

If I need such support again, I will be back for more!”

Dr Colin Robinson, April 2024
“Initially I chose to stay for just 3 days after my hip replacement surgery. However once I realised the quality of care, the excellent physiotherapy available, I decided to stay for a week. It was THE best thing I could have done. I felt really cared for by the staff, there was always someone available to help me get showered and dressed in the mornings. The staff took care of all the medications I needed. The food was amazing, and delivered to my room three times a day. Though after a while I could go to the dining room if I wanted to. The physios were all singing the same song ‘get moving, gently and we will help you recover’. I felt totally reassured every day as I made progress bit by bit without being forced, but with gentle encouragement. When I got home my family were amazed at how well l looked, and how much confidence I had in moving round the house, upstairs and downstairs. It was worth the money I spent, and I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to recover after an operation. My room was cosy, all my needs were met, and so much more besides. Thank you Lynden Hill Clinic.”
Chris Waters, March 2024
“Following a hip replacement I came to help my first week’s post operative recovery. The competence, care, kindness and overall friendliness of everyone at the clinic was outstanding. It has definitely made a difference and I feel more comfortable and further along in my progress than I would otherwise have been.”
Alex F, February 2024
“I am so pleased that I chose to spend time at Lynden Hill Clinic after my total hip replacement. All aspects of the care that I received were first class. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the members of staff that I encountered. To have expert physiotherapy twice daily has really accelerated my recovery and given me the confidence to return home. Their intuition about how to manage my physiotherapy at each session was expert and reassuring. The handy hints for my return home have been really helpful. This extended to the physiotherapy assistants who escorted me to every session from my room.”…
Jane Sherlock, February 2024

“I had to have a full right hip replacement and as I live on my own, I was terrified of being on my own. So, I decided to go to the Lynden Hill Clinic where friends of mine had been – it was the best decision I have ever made! Really, the physio team members headed up by Sarah were brilliant! I had two physio sessions a day and if anyone reading this is in any doubt, please do it! The physios just give you the confidence to pursue your recovery. Secondly, the nursing staff are just incredible; so caring and so incredibly friendly and just, yes, so caring! As for the food, well, every meal time was a total joy and a discovery! You have to order your meals a day in advance; well, no-one could ever remember what they’d ordered so every day was a “oooh, gosh, I didn’t know I’d ordered that!” And the food was delicious!! Prosecco Sunday was fab! Not sure it goes that well with pain killers but hey, who cares! Seriously, I promise that going to the Lynden Hill Clinic was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life (after deciding to have a hip replacement!). You will not be disappointed; the care and attention provided was amazing and I’m a harsh judge. All of the staff were brilliant and it’s all about you and your recovery! If you are going to undergo major surgery then I can think of no better place to go than Lynden Hill. I actually extended my stay! And, they also arranged for me to be picked up from the Parkside in Wimbledon where I’d had my op and driven to Lynden Hill – it couldn’t have been easier. So, if you wish to recuperate in a safe, lovely, and caring environment, Lynden Hill Clinic is the place!”

Mrs Alison Janet Sowersby, August 2023
“It is easy to give Lynden Hill full marks for staff, cuisine, physiotherapy, location and cleanliness but that would only scratch the surface of this healing sanctuary. I was a professional athlete my entire career and have rehabilitated more times than I can count but have never experienced the perfection Lynden Hill and its team exposed me to. For two weeks, every task except for focusing on my body and its recovery from a full knee replacement, was handled by the director, front desk staff, attendants, nurses, waiters, physical therapists and masseuse. They operated as a synchronized and seamless team to take care of me. All in an atmosphere of peace and calm, transmitting a true happiness I have rarely seen or felt. It allowed me to transcend into a place of full trust and freedom to let my body do the work of deep healing, completely void of stress. In my mind there is no greater miracle than what I experienced at Lynden Hill – the harmony of letting the body heal on its own terms, without interference from this busy life.”
Mr Craig Adkins, August 2023
“I stayed at Lynden Hill Clinic for three weeks following a fall where I broke both my femurs. I was in hospital for a week and then transferred to Lynden Hill. The facilities were amazing, more akin to a luxury country hotel where one had two half hour sessions of intensive physiotherapy a day. Both the staff and physiotherapists were amazing, incredibly friendly and helpful and my improvement was superb. I arrived barely able to walk but after three weeks was walking comfortably on crutches and able to climb stairs so that I was able to go home with confidence. I also thoroughly enjoyed my stay it was more like being on holiday than being in a clinic. the surroundings are so beautiful and the food delicious. I also enjoyed some pampering sessions in the spa.”
Linda Cohen, August 2023

“I stopped at the clinic fo a week after my hip replacement. My stay was excellent, the staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem for them. Two sessions of physio a day certainly speeded up my recovery. The food was lovely and one evening my daughter came for a meal with me.”

G Tyler, April 2023

“My stay at Lynden Hill was exactly what I needed following my operation. A week of excellent care and relaxation in fabulous surroundings. The daily physio sessions ensured that my rehabilitation started quickly and consistently. I must also mention the fabulous food and choice thereof which made my stay feel more like a hotel trip than rehab.”

M Raftery, February 2023

“I recently spent a week at Lynden Hill following a full hip replacement. I cannot find the words to express my satisfaction, praise and gratitude to every single member of staff. The facilities are outstanding, the individual care and concern was exceptional, the physios – and I had three different ones – superlative, the food worthy of a Star! Nothing was too much trouble. I could go on. I’m due for a new knee next, so I’ll be back. Thank you!”

J Turner, January 2023

“I wanted to write to say a huge thank you to all the staff at Lynden Hall who made such an impact on my recovery. I suffered a back fracture following a slip and fall at home and whilst consider myself a young and fit 52 year old, was in no condition to manage at home on discharge from hospital. With the excellent care, nutrition, support and physio from the team, in 10 days I progressed from only being able to transfer from bed to chair to being able to walk a circuit of the grounds. I’ve continued on this trajectory since leaving you and my spinal consultant comments that my recovery has been ‘remarkable’, which we both attribute to your care and therapy.

A huge thank you to the entire team, your clinic is very special and I feel very lucky to have been able to benefit from staying with you.”

A Holland, November 2022
“I just wanted to say how much I appreciated and enjoyed, my week at the clinic. The main purpose, of course, was the intensive course of physiotherapy, but whatever their role in the clinic, I found the staff kind, friendly, and for whom nothing was too much trouble. I should particularly mention the excellent work of the chef and his team; and the gardener, watering during that hot weather to keep the plants looking so good. The physios have given me a good start in getting back to normal, and I cannot thank them highly enough. “
Mr J Tate, July 2022
“I thought my whole stay with you was wonderful. I was looked after from the minute I arrived until I left AND was sorry to leave. All the staff, nursing and others were terrific. All pleasant, smiling and caring. The kitchen staff too were excellent as though nothing was too much trouble. A special mention for the amazing Physiotherapy staff. The taxi drivers both ways too we’re excellent. “
Mr R Kohn, July 2022
