Perfect, professional & personal

Thank you to Annabel, Sharon, Hogg and the rest of the team! We had the most special day made so easy and effortless by the work of them all. We loved the DIY wedding approach to be able to make it our own but needed some support which Annabel gave throughout our preparations and planning. She helped to guide us through ensuring that we focused on the things that mattered and would enhance our day! On the day, it went so smoothly down to the team and we were just able to enjoy every moment!
It is a wonderful idyllic venue deep in the heart of the lakes surrounded by stunning scenery. The rustic and natural feel of the barn was perfect and wowed all our guests!
We wish we could do it all again!!! Thank you!!!!

They did exactly what they said they’d do!

Sharon and Hogg are incredible hosts of this venue. Nothing is too much trouble. Sharon has made her vision for the barn come alive. Constantly looking to enhance the experience, Sharon has made more and more improvements to the barn in keeping with the rustic and country feel. On the day of the wedding, Sharon and Hogg along with their team behind the bar made our day incredibly special. We can’t thank them enough.

Dream day at Barn in the fells

Stunning venue in a fabulous Lake District location. Collaborative and flexible team who were open to our ideas and helped our day feel truly personal to us. The DIY set up suited us perfectly as we could choose our suppliers. Really convenient accommodation included with Crow How B&B. Couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough!

Stunning Location, with options for rain or shine!

We always knew we wanted a barn, or somewhere similarly rustic for our wedding and Barn in the Fell ticked all the boxes.
It's just outside Ambleside which meant all our guests had no problems finding accommodation as well as being a stunning location. The Barn itself is a great size, and the ceremony room downstairs is spacious, and has plenty of options on how you want to dress the room.
Sharon and Hogg who own the property were brilliant, they have adapted the barn, building everything you could need in a wedding location and are also open and flexible to ideas on how you might want the place to look for your day. They work with a variety of suppliers and have been incredibly helpful throughout - from letting us sneak in for another look when we visited the location for a second time to helping with suggestions on what other weddings have done and thoroughly taking care of us on the day.
We would 100% recommend - this is a beautiful and relaxed place to get married and we loved every minute.
