About Abbey House Hotel & Gardens
Abbey House Hotel & Gardens is one of Barrow-in-Furness’s standout places to stay, set in established grounds beside the historic Furness Abbey. The privately owned four-star hotel marks 40 years in the same family in 2026 and combines a quiet, country-house feel with straightforward access to Barrow, the Furness Peninsula and the southern edge of the Lake District.
The hotel has 59 individually styled rooms across a range of categories, giving couples, wedding guests and business visitors more choice than a small boutique property. Its setting is a major part of the appeal: the hotel is surrounded by woodland and gardens, while Furness Abbey is close enough to make the two an easy pairing for a heritage-focused stay.

Food and drink are centred on Oscar’s, the hotel’s Rosette-acclaimed bar and restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea. The hotel is also a major wedding and events venue, so visitors travelling on especially busy dates should check room availability early.
For a Barrow break, Abbey House works particularly well for visitors arriving by car who want more space and greenery than a town-centre hotel. Check the live room rate, cancellation terms, breakfast inclusion and any event-related access arrangements before booking.
Our local note
One of Barrow’s strongest leisure stays if you want gardens, a quieter setting and Furness Abbey almost on the doorstep. It is less central than the main town hotels, so it suits drivers particularly well.
