The Grounds
With 31 acres of private woodland, gardens, and open fields and the most spectacular backdrop of the Grasmere fells, our grounds offer a simply breathtaking location for your outdoor wedding ceremony and endless opportunities for fabulous photos!
Imagine taking your vows beneath our beautiful Beech tree, perfectly framed by the Grasmere fells. Or keeping your guests entertained with some lawn games, the perfect way to relax after the ceremony. Our top lawn and terrace is the perfect place for you and your guests to mingle over drinks and canapés as you soak up the breathtaking views.
For larger, festival style weddings, there’s plenty of room for a marquee or stretch tent on the lower lawn.

What could be more perfect than dancing under the stars on your wedding night, surrounded by family and friends?

Dog Friendly Weddings
We often get asked if we’re a dog friendly wedding venue and the answer to that is absolutely!
Lots of our couples choose to include their dogs in their special day – whether that’s proudly walking down the aisle with the rings or simply stealing hearts from the sidelines. Dogs are very much part of the celebrations here. We can recommend a fabulous dog chaperone to help out on the day too.
Lots of our bedrooms are pet friendly – the barn rooms are particularly suitable for guests with dogs, with underfloor heating and direct access to our grounds. And with all those fabulous walks on the doorstep, it would be rude not to bring your dog with you!
You’re very welcome to bring your dog with you when you come for a tour, and if you’d like some suggestions of local walks we’ll be happy to offer some suggestions.
Late Availability
We still have some great dates available for 2026 weddings including Easter Bank Holiday weekend. We’ll help you every step of the way and can put you in touch with some of our favourite suppliers too. Just get in touch for more details!
We also have weekend availability in November and December this year plus midweek dates throughout the year. You can see more details on our Late Availability page or get in touch to arrange a tour.
