Wey Valley House is a two storey residential care home for older people owned and managed by The Abbeyfield Wey Valley Society and is situated in Farnham Surrey.

The home is set in pleasant gardens with a patio area overlooking the river, there are several large, mature trees, a number of interesting shrubs and flowering tubs all of which are well maintained and give a pleasant picture for residents to view.
