The house is ideally located close to the Lake District which is a stunning tourist location flourishing with nature and wildlife.

You can also visit Workington and Carlisle which are popular shopping locations.The house is close to local amenities as it is within walking distance of the town centre where you will shops, cafes, churches, banks and places to eat.
Abbeyfield House is a very friendly and welcoming house and each day is different as there is always a lot happening here. We allow pets in the house should you wish to bring a little companion with you, we find that residents enjoy spending time with animals so this is something we like to support. Staff work hard to offer a range of activities for our residents and make time to organise events.
We hold parties for all of our residents' birthdays and really celebrate the occasion. We have film afternoons, coffee mornings and food celebrations such as pie week. We have an annual garden party in June to celebrate Abbeyfield's birthday.
During Christmas we have activities almost every day with a full calendar of events.
This is a truly family-orientated house and we always make everyone feel right at home.
Abbeyfield Living Society is a trading name of The Abbeyfield Society." Show less
