At Fonthill House, every space has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, enrichment, and a true sense of home.
Our inviting coffee shop is at the heart of life at Fonthill. The full restaurant menu is available throughout the day, with residents and guests enjoying coffee mornings, drinks before dinner, and cream tea on the outdoor seating area.
The real log fire creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Tuesday nights are quiz nights — a popular fixture in our calendar where residents, staff, and families come together.
Everything is freshly prepared daily by our team of chefs, using locally sourced ingredients from St Albans. Our dietitian works closely with the kitchen to ensure every meal is both delicious and nutritionally balanced.
Music is a vital part of life at Fonthill. Our beautiful music lounge hosts live musical performances from talented musicians including Edmund and Elisa Jeffery.
Every Monday night, the Fonthill Nightingales choir gathers to sing together — a joyful and inclusive activity that brings residents together. We also host U3A (University of the Third Age) classical music appreciation sessions monthly.
Whether you prefer to listen, sing along, or perform yourself, our music programme offers something for everyone.
All 64 bedrooms at Fonthill House are private, en-suite rooms designed for comfort and dignity. Each room is equipped with a call bell system for safety and peace of mind.
For residents with high care needs, we provide specialist beds and pressure-relieving mattresses. For those who are more independent, we offer homely divan beds.
Every room has a smart TV and high-speed WiFi. FaceTime and video calling are actively encouraged to keep residents connected with loved ones near and far.
Residents are welcome to personalise their rooms with furniture, photographs, and treasured belongings to make their space truly their own.
Creativity flourishes at Fonthill. Our dedicated art studio is equipped for water colours, pastels, oils, and mosaics. We offer a variety of lessons throughout the week, and beginners are always welcome.
Art provides a wonderful outlet for self-expression and relaxation. Many residents discover new talents or rekindle old passions in our welcoming, supportive environment.
Work created by residents is displayed throughout the house and showcased at our annual summer fete.
Fonthill House features three separate gardens, each offering a different atmosphere — from peaceful reflection to social gatherings. Our first-floor roof terrace provides beautiful views and fresh air.
Our gardening club is popular with residents who enjoy tending to plants, growing vegetables, and watching the seasons change. It's a wonderful way to stay active and connected to nature.
Each summer, we host our annual summer fete in the gardens — a joyful celebration with stalls, entertainment, and displays of resident artwork. Family, friends, and the local community are invited to join us.
Looking good helps us feel good. Our in-house hairdressing service offers cuts, styling, and colour in a professional salon environment within the home.
We also offer a luxury manicure service, so residents can enjoy pampering and self-care without ever needing to leave the building.
These services are part of our commitment to maintaining dignity, independence, and personal well-being.
