Reviews for Lancrigg
A very special place to get married!
The newly built barn (built by the owner using oak from trees that fell in the storm!) is stunning and was a perfect spot for dinner and dancing. The whisky bar is an amazing nook that lots of our guests gathered in between dances or spilled out into the courtyard area between. We had several children at our wedding and the open areas, the lounge with toys in it and the playground were a huge hit! I cannot say enough of how beautiful this space is and how special it was getting married on the grass with the fells in the background.
But the thing that makes this place so special and everything a bride and groom could hope for, are the owners and the staff. I don't even know where to begin with how fantastic they are, our guests commented so many times about the team. They are so friendly, really care about making your day how you want it and go above and beyond a million times over. The food and drink were fantastic and our guests so well looked after. THANK YOU!
What's been created at the Lancrigg is very special, it is personal and relaxed and I wish we could do it all over again!
The perfect Lake District venue
Our Beautiful Wedding
On April 27th this year my husband and I tied the knot and had our wedding weekend at The Lancrigg! It’s taken us so long to write this because every time we come to do so I start to cry at all the happiness, love and memories we have. From the word go it was just such a lovely experience from booking and choosing this wonderful venue to meetings with Katrina and then finally the special day.
From start to finish Simon, Alison, Katrina and all of the team were absolutely fantastic and really made you feel like anything was possible with our special day and it was…. This amazing team made everything happen, nothing was to big from making a new table the day before our wedding to ordering in specific beverages and helping with flower arranging spending hours and hours helping and just being a true family and team.
When we booked the venue Simon had newly renovated the barn by himself and had big plans for the grounds of The Lancrigg. We were skeptical about how many plans he had and whether it would be done within the 6 months we had to plan our big day!!!! Well we had no reason to be as everything and more was finished and ready. We had our own WhatsApp group with regular updates with the team.
They don’t have onsite catering for your big day however Karen Rhodes who they work very closely with were absolutely sensational we were the first wedding of the season and the first wedding at The Lancrigg for the caterers so you’d of thought maybe one little hiccup would occur but not one single one did!!!! Crème de la Créme both the venue and the caterer.
We were able to take over the whole place and make it unbelievable spectacular. The comments such as “how have you found this venue” “it’s absolutely stunning” “the views are spectacular” don’t do it justice from our guests.
So if you’re looking for a stunning venue with amazing people and with a team who are truly passionate, dedicated and committed to making your day yours then look no further!
The perfect wedding venue - more than we could have ever wished for!
The venue is incredible from all the rooms, to the barn, the house, the gardens etc. I couldn’t fault a single aspect of it.
The team at Lancrigg are also incredible, our wedding day went absolutely seamlessly and they truely cared about every small detail to make it perfect. They also catered so well for our young nephews and our dog who was a integral part of our wedding too.
No request or question was too big a ask!
We live 3.5 hours away but the distance from the location didn’t make it any harder to plan the wedding as the team & especially Katrina - our wedding coordinator made it so easy to plan and organise everything.
I honestly couldn’t have wished for a more perfect wedding day & so much of that is down to Lancrigg and the team there making it so special.
It will always hold a special place in our hearts and we will certainly be back there again and again as it truely feels part of our family and life!
Thank you Lancrigg!!!

Still not down to earth fully after celebrating our wedding day at Lancrigg in August.
We had a clear vision of what we wanted to achieve after being together for 15 years!!
Upon finding this hidden gem of historic perfection & quirky charm we knew this was the venue for us.
Exclusivity was a huge bonus over three perfect days. We opted for an intimate 30 people gathering so we could spoil our guests with perfect wrap around food provided by the hotel & exceptional Wedding day Canapés & four course dinner courtesy of ‘The Cumbrian Chef’ Julian Ankers & his attentive team.
Our relationship with Katrina set off perfectly as soon as we met. Nothing was too much trouble & she just ‘got’ us. Which is very important when you are arranging something so very personal.
The whole team at Lancrigg were a pleasure throughout, with a special mention to Serene who worked so hard not only doing her job but temporarily becoming a new family member!
The only thing that wasn’t perfect was the Lake Land weather!!! But we can’t hold Lancrigg responsible for that!
It truly was the best time of our lives.
A romantic, beautiful and unique venue in a stunning location
Best day ever
The staff at Lancrigg Hotel truly went above and beyond to ensure our wedding was everything we wanted. Their dedication and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the celebration. From accommodating special requests to anticipating our needs, the team made us feel incredibly cared for. Their professionalism and genuine warmth added an extra layer of joy to our special day, making it an unforgettable experience. We are grateful for the exceptional effort the staff put in to make our wedding at Lancrigg Hotel absolutely perfect.
Thank you, Lancrigg Hotel, for making our wedding a delightful experience.
