Just the most beautiful place to stop and relax!

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.

The best place I've stayed in the Lake District!

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.

A brilliant weekend in a beautiful setting

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.

Excellent anniversary celebration weekend!

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.

A wonderful few days in a lovely hotel, idyllic!

Our eldest daughter got married on 29th June at the Lancrigg Hotel. It was a wonderful day, and huge thanks to Serene and the staff who couldn't have made us more welcome or been more friendly and helpful. The service was excellent and the breakfasts and BBQ delicious. It was a wonderful few days in a lovely hotel in a beautiful location, idyllic! We would highly recommend it and would like to return one day.

Stunning venue, great staff

We've worked at Lancrigg 3 times this year and we are catering at another wedding in December together and each time it's worked a dream. The team are really professional, the finish on the venue is extremely high and the set up for weddings works really well. I highly recommend this venue for anyone looking for a picturesque venue in the Lakes.

Perfect Lake District Wedding Venue

Lancrigg is such a perfect wedding venue to choose in the Lake District. I really loved photographing Elisa and Pete's wedding here. The view from the outdoor ceremony space on the lower lawn is unrivalled! The house itself is full of character - very tastefully and carefully restored. The barn adds another fantastic element - a beautiful blank canvas to dress as you wish. I can't wait to shoot here again, it's so dreamy!

Outstanding venue with unrivalled views

A true hidden gem in the heart of the lakes, with romantic history and views to beat any destination venue in the UK. The barn has been converted with sympathy and style to the original features and the organic nature of the gardens highlight the natural surrounding beauty of the area. A wonderful team of staff are onsite to see to your needs and exquisite details in the main house evoke a history gone of lakes poets society. One of my favourite places to visit and I'm constantly telling everyone to go and check it out before it becomes fully booked. To say I'm obsessed would be a fair description and I've no doubt you will be too.

The entire stay and wedding was such a delight!

We stayed here for a wedding and had the most fantastic, beautiful, and relaxing time. The location and views are absolutely stunning, and being able to hear nothing but the birds at times was exactly what we needed. The team were so helpful and friendly - the entire stay and wedding was such a delight. Everything went smoothly for the happy couple and everyone had a blast. I highly recommend this spot either as a peaceful getaway or for a wedding! Thank you so much for the fab time xx
