The Lancrigg

The Lancrigg is truly a special place, the perfect wedding venue :) If you’re reading this because you’re thinking of booking it, don’t hesitate for a second. I’m not sure words can really do it justice, but I’ll try! We feel so so lucky that this magical corner of the Lake District was ours for the weekend in July 2025. Every single member of the team was wonderful, kind, enthusiastic, and such a joy to plan with. They embraced all of our ideas, added their own thoughtful suggestions, and made sure everything came together perfectly. The venue itself is breathtaking. It’s clearly a real labour of love which you can sense the moment you arrive. Even on our first visit, on a drizzly February day, we knew instantly it was the place for us. The accommodation is excellent, and the beautiful walk down into Grasmere is an added treat for guests. We are also deeply grateful for how supportive and flexible the team were when we had to rearrange our wedding for health reasons. Their kindness meant the world to us, and it’s something we’ll never forget. We can’t wait to return in the years ahead and watch The Lancrigg continue to flourish. It will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

Lancrigg – What a Truly Special Venue It took us a long time to find the perfect place for our wedding, with our long list of needs, but then we discovered The Lancrigg. From the moment we stepped through the door and were greeted by Simon, we knew it was the right choice. The house itself is a beautiful country retreat nestled in the Lake District, and it immediately felt like home. Simon and Alison were wonderfully flexible, ensuring all of our expectations were met and more. The on-site team were an absolute joy to work with; friendly, attentive, and full of energy. They created the perfect atmosphere and kept our guests celebrating late into the night.

Attended a friends wedding here and what a place it was!! Stunning location, epic scenery and a beautiful venue to hoist. Staff went above and beyond and made sure everyone enjoyed their stay. If we are ever in the area again, we would certainly return!

I had the joy and privilege of experiencing The Lancrigg for the first time recently, attending my daughter and her now husband's wedding. My review of all aspects of our stay can be summed up in one heartfelt word....PERFECT!|Stand out points being the location; the staff, in house and contracted in (special mention to Simon, Alex and the young lady whose name I sadly didn't get, sorry); the relaxed feel and easy pace of our whole experience; no fussing; the genuine welcoming and cosseted feeling you get when you're in any room or area of the buildings or outstanding grounds - mainly due to the hotel being left for us to enjoy its character and not being thoughtlessly or clinically stylised within an inch of its life; breakfast to die for....I could go on!|As a guest or a resident, I felt Lancrigg greeted us with a hug, as if you're coming home, from the moment you step over the threshold, be it as a single, a couple, with children, dogs, all manner of kit etc. You'll definitely want to come back time and time again.

The setting and views were stunning. |We were told that the hotel had just reopened, so things were still in the teething stage. Our room was advertised as having a courtyard with Mountain View. Unfortunately, the courtyard was untidy and unkept, the mountain view was obscured by overgrown bushes, I was a bit disappointed as had paid extra for this, there were also cobwebs in our room. These are the only gripes. The breakfast was lovely and plentiful. The staff were cheery and very helpful. I would go back to this hotel again, most definitely!

Attended a wedding here. It's a fantastic venue, and whilst the weather didn't hold out, we had plenty of shelter indoors and outdoors. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Stunning, friendly and perfectly positioned. We stayed here in the oak room, beautifully decorated, perfectly clean, stunning views. Great for dogs, as straight out onto the veranda. Great breakfast and staff couldn’t do enough to help. Thank you for a wonderful stay, didn’t want to leave and will be back soon x

Was here for a wedding. A lovely spot with great views, friendly and efficient staff, lovely ambience, historical links to Wordsworth and other lakes poets, great walks close by and a short walk to Grasmere.

We saw signs on the way to Helm Crag about a cafe/bar nearby and decided to check it out after the hike. The smoked-duck salad was splendid, and my husband was quite pleased w/ his ham sandwich (sides of green salad and potato salad scored well, too). But the winner was the orange-carrot cake for dessert. I'm going to try to get the recipe: dense, moist, not-too-sweet... I am reasonably sure the sweetener was orange marmalade. Reminded me of my grandma's (steamed) Christmas pudding. Oh, and the atmosphere was cozy, and service good. Beautiful location just outside Grasmere.
