Amazing Wedding Coordinator, day ran smoothly!

Gary the wedding coordinator was amazing from start to finish, so chilled out and nothing was too much for him even when we had a last minute disaster and my husband realised he’d forgot to bring the wedding music with him it was no problem for Gary. I couldn’t recommend him enough he’s relatively new to the dunes but he really was amazing and helped make our special day run smoothly 🤩

Catered for all (including dogs)

A brand new feel to the place with amazing staff, who couldn’t do enough for us and our fur baby. Excellent food that catered for all dietary requirements ( ie carnivore and vegan!) Gorgeous dog bed, bowls and treats provided for Winnie. Lovely location for a walk to a natural gem of a beach! We will be back. Thank you Dunes .

Highly Recommend!

We had a lovely stay! We came for my partners birthday, I did mention in the notes that it was. When we got there they had decorated the room which was a really special touch. Also, we had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant. I highly recommend! The food was fresh and very reasonably priced. I had the steak. The cocktails were also lovely. Thankyou for a wonderful time.

Close to the lakes, will visit again

My partner and I enjoyed a nice stay at the Dunes Hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant in the hotel was really great too. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to visit the Furness Abbey and the coast, but might be a bit out of the way for someone looking to be closer to "the lakes" or somewhere walkable. Will visit again!!

Stunning suite, incredible food

Fabulous stay, excellent prices, the food was incredible, dog friendly, lovely park for the kids, a two minute drive to the beach. We'll be back without the kid and dog soon for a night away but we'll be upgrading to the bridal suite as it is stunning 😍
