Description
Broadoaks Country House Hotel is the perfect location for an exclusive wedding event. Nestled in the heart of the Lake District
The Lake District became part of an elite group of over 1,000 world-famous locations, including the Taj Mahal, the Great Wall of China, and the Grand Canyon and Egypt's pyramids. Your perfect wedding getaway...
With the perfect mix of traditional & Luxe, Broadoaks has recently had lots of Love poured back in to this venue, making the most gorgeous setting for your dream destination wedding.
We ensure that your wedding day will be one that you and your guests will remember for years to come - with dedicated service, delicious food and of course a venue that’s exclusively yours for the day!
With its picturesque views, there is no better place to tie the knot!
For weddings and civil partnerships outdoors, white, licensed gazebo sits at the head of a velvety wedding green.
Not using the wedding green but want to get here in a hurry? That’s fine; when the green is not in use for those tying the knot outdoors, it doubles as a helipad. The grounds at Broadoaks are positively glowing.
Broadoaks underwent a considerable programme of refurbishment and boasts 20 luxurious and individually decorated boutique bedrooms for you to use on your big day.
Restaurant prepares mouth-watering sit-down wedding breakfasts for up to 100 guests with up to five courses beautifully presented and created from locally-sourced produce. Or ask about something different – a BBQ or hog roast outside perhaps? For evening celebrations the Orangery transforms into a breathtaking party space where you can invite up to 150 guests, or, for a more intimate affair, you can enjoy a live pianist in the music room.
Beautiful to view and magical to feel, one thing is for certain and that is that you and your guests will never forget this special place.

- RRebecca02/07/2025Disappointed and Heartbroken – Still No Response from BroadoaksDisappointed and Heartbroken – Still No Response from BroadoaksWe chose Broadoaks for our wedding day because of its beautiful setting and promises of exceptional service. While the venue itself is stunning and the day held some lovely moments, our experience was ultimately marred by poor organisation, unfulfilled promises, and, most upsettingly, a complete lack of accountability from the team afterward. Numerous issues occurred on the day, including miscommunication around key elements like the drinks package, a lack of coordination, unprofessional staff behaviour, and missing or incorrect services we had paid for including food, drink, and setup details that were previously agreed. We raised a formal complaint outlining all of this in detail and were promised a response. After weeks of delays and repeated chasing, we were eventually forced to send a Letter Before Action due to the lack of engagement. That deadline has long passed and we still have not received a single reply or resolution from the hotel regarding the money that is owed to us. What should have been one of the happiest days of our lives is now overshadowed by stress and disappointment. We truly regret placing our trust in this venue. If you are considering Broadoaks for your wedding, I would urge you to look elsewhere particularly if you expect transparency, professionalism, or any form of support after your wedding. We are now in the process of pursuing legal action to recover what we are owed.We chose Broadoaks for our wedding day because of its beautiful setting and promises of exceptional service.

- BBethany12/09/2024Beautiful venue - poor experience Beautiful venue - poor experienceIn November 2023 we got married at Broadoaks. During the time frame between signing the contracts and having the wedding the venue changed hands and are allegedly 'A different business in all but name' and 'none of the staff involved in the wedding are still employed' which is concerning only 10 months after the event if this is true please keep this in mind when reading reviews of the venue that mention staff members going above and beyond, but also take it with a pinch of salt as staff members who were involved in our wedding are mentioned by name in reviews posted on Google a few weeks prior to me writing this. Also, please be aware that the venue has asked me to delete my negative reviews. It had taken 10 months to post my review as a combination of waiting for a formal response from Broadoaks and reaching a point where the sadness and dissapointment from my wedding day had healed enough to allow me to write a factual review. I do not want to take away from the fact that Broadoaks is a truly beautiful venue, in a beautiful location. Which is what drew us to book it originally, however whilst management have assured us that these issues 'will not happen again' I would urge any future couples booking Broadoaks to be aware of the following so that they can plan their own wedding according to avoid the same dissapointment we felt. I will write out the complete list of issues below but the main 4 to consider (the first of which Broadoaks is yet to admit to or apologise for despite extensive evidence) are; - Despite multiple meeting regarding my concerns with food safety with a guest having a severe hazelnut allergy, Broadoaks served Nutella with the breakfast. Causing the bride and groom to miss out on their own breakfast as they rushed around to collect it. - Bleach left on the floors caused damage to the Bride's dress and shoes pre ceremony and the Bride's veil was damaged by staff handling it carelessly. - Despite the contact and multiple reassuring meetings, the venue was not exclusive use. - Multiple changes and incorrect prices put on contracts. We got married at Broadoaks in November and had problems almost from the time of booking. When we reached out to the venue to come to a resolution we were offered a free of charge one night stay which when compared to the list of problems we experienced does not match up. When we highlighted that we had not received multiple things that were in the contract we were told that this wasn't their problem as the contract was with the previous owners and not themselves, although the contract states 'Broadoaks' and no specific owners. Please see below for the list of problems. - When we were sent the contract the price was £750 more than what was agreed, Broadoaks stated this was an 'error' and corrected it. - After booking and confirming everything Broakoaks stated that the times they had advised for the ceremony and the evening were not compatible. - We sought clarification from Broadoaks that we would have exclusive use and allow for set up time, this didn't happen and subsequently we struggled to set up due to stragglers from the day before. - We were advised that there was on site parking for 100 cars, this isn't true and includes local lanes. - 9 months before the wedding we received an email stating that the price of food packages would be increasing, despite us having in writing that this wouldn't be happening. - there was often delays in confirming that deposits have been received. - When we added the garden suites onto the booking, once again the price was incorrect on the contract. - 2 days before the wedding we received several phone calls from the venue confirming things that we had submitted on paperwork weeks prior that we had been rushed to submit because of the coordinator going on holiday. * Day of wedding Problems * - When the groom arrived the member of staff was rude to the groom when he queried why there was still the wedding party from the previous day on site. - The retreat had been booked for the bride to get ready, it was not ready and the Bride had to wait on the drive for 30 minutes with guests arriving, despite the plan for getting the key being discussed at length in the planning meetings. The staff never brought the key down. - The floors of the retreat were covered in bleach water which discoloured both the bride's dress and the wedding shoes. - The groom's getting ready room was also not ready for 1300 despite being one of the 'guaranteed' rooms. - Halfway through the day the wedding coordinator changed to someone the bride and groom had never met, this caused multiple problems, including not enough cake being served. Several Guests questioned if this was the first wedding this coordinator had ever done. - Staff were stretched over multiple areas, leaving the guests having to ring a bell to summon bar staff and waiting for a while to check in. - When the staff cleared up the Brides veil got stuffed into a box with the cake knife and dirty cake decor, damaging it and staining it. - One of our guests had severe hazelnut allergy, this was highlighted in EVERY planning meeting we were assured that there would be no hazelnuts on site. There was Nutella served at breakfast. This caused the bride and the groom having to rush to collect it before anyone opened it. - the personalised news of the day and order of the day was not provided at all despite being in the contract. - The roof of the orangery was leaking on guests throughout the ceremony, meal and evening. - The vegetarian food served was poor.In November 2023 we got married at Broadoaks.

- MMatthew and Emma13/06/2023Amazing wedding weekend Amazing wedding weekendTo all the Broadoaks team, Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend absolutely amazing, you all excelled and exceeded our expectations. From the minute we arrived on Friday afternoon right up to when the last car left Broadoaks on the Sunday morning, you were there for every minute and nothing was too much to ask. Special thanks to little Jo and Stellion for looking after us and our guests, without you both we would have been running around like headless chickens not knowing when and where we had to be. Right from our first meeting with Jo she made us feel so calm and stress free by ensuring we had everything planned and in place, even though we thought we had nothing ready. Stellion took charge in the evenings when Jo went home and what an amazing host he is and a credit to the Broadoaks team, he was there for anything we needed, nothing was too much to ask.

- MMandy and Jackie13/06/2023Amazing Wedding of our Dreams Amazing Wedding of our DreamsOur 2 day wedding at Broadoaks was better than anything we'd ever hoped or imagined it would be. From the moment we stepped through the door it was magical. Sitting with our family and friends in the piano room the night before our wedding, watching the World cup and playing a quiz was fantastic. Little Jo couldn't do enough to help make it special and we loved every minute of it. Our guests still talk about Broadoaks and our wedding and we will be returning near to our first anniversary to enjoy the place again. Who can believe a Google search for gay friendly wedding venues would lead to a wedding of a lifetime.

- KKirstie and Simon13/06/2023The most beautiful simplistic wedding of them all The most beautiful simplistic wedding of them allWe got married on April 1st, and little Jo was our coordinator. The setting in itself is absolutely divine! Beautiful, quaint, tucked away, quiet, private and intimate. The hotel just so oldy worldy and quirky, with modern twists here and there, and in room jacuzzi bathing. The orangery where all our wedding was held with its full floor to ceiling window wall over looking the stream is perfectly picturesque! Added to that we wanted a no frills, non formal super comfortable chilled out wedding and that's exactly what was provided! The staff are amazing, the food was delicious and just overall the most perfect day! We got married on April 1st, and little Jo was our coordinator. The setting in itself is absolutely divine!
