Lancrigg

Our day at the Lancrigg was incredible. There is nowhere more beautiful than this hotel among the fells of the Lake District. The staff were so attentive for the whole weekend, not just the day. They went out of their way to make sure we, and our guests had an unforgettable day. And it really was. They allowed us to be creative with the grounds which meant we had a wedding that really reflected us as a couple. I can’t thank Simon, Alison and all the staff enough for such an amazing day!

Wow! 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.

Katrina and the team at the Lancrigg worked tirelessly to ensure this was the perfect day. The venue is so stunning, and the efforts made by the team only enhanced this. By far the best day of our lives, and every guest fed back that it was the best venue and best wedding experience they had ever had. Thank you so much. Xx

The Lancrigg is the most beautiful location, bursting with character and so many different spaces to create the wedding you want. 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!

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!

We got married at the Lancrigg in November over a long weekend. The location and views are beautiful. The hotel and rooms are comfortable and cozy. The barn is perfect for an intimate celebration.

I thought this was a mirage when I saw it as I came down from Helm Crag. To my delight it was real and it was just the most beautiful place to stop and relax and take in the views whilst enjoying a well-earned cider. And just as I took my first sip the sun burst through the clouds, it was glorious! I told the barmaid that they must be quids-in but she didn’t quite know what I meant. If you know you know.

So far the best place I've stayed in the Lake District and this is my 7th visit. Tucked away from the main road, but only 20 min walk away from Grasmere. Fab rooms, fab food, amazing staff, and who wouldn't love waking up to this view? Will definitely come back here. Absolute gem.

We’ve just returned from a very enjoyable stay at Lancrigg. Nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel very much at home. As the weekend was for a large group and a surprise special occasion, a lot of planning was required ahead of our visit. Nothing was too much trouble for Katrina and she was always available to help in any way she could. The rooms were spacious and comfortable and had everything we needed. A brilliant weekend in a beautiful setting. Thank you.

Just spent a fantastic weekend as a group of 14, (family and friends) for our Ruby wedding anniversary at the Lancrigg, a real home from home. Large lounge with open coal fire great for anyone to have a relaxing break with a brew or a beer. Katrina was brilliant, so friendly and helpful, always around if anything needed. Hotel is in an amazing setting, an easy 10 -15 minutes walk from the village.
