Briery Wood Country House Reviews (5) Write a review Fantastic Venue Service By Ian & Francesca, on 26 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 15 Sep 2018 Thank you so much to the staff for making our wedding day one to remember. Absolutely fantastic with how smoothly our day went. We managed to get married outside, which was beautiful. I can’t thank you enough. Roger the manager was fantastic and made sure that I got my dream wedding. All our guests loved our day and thought it was really good that we had hired the venue from Friday to Sunday for just our guests. Thank you again!A truly magnificent weekend Venue Service By Melissa & Matthew, on 28 Jan 2019Date of Wedding - 18 Aug 2018 Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in our truly magnificent weekend. You all went above and beyond in every aspect and all our guests had a fabulous time! We couldn’t have wished for a better day, you provided everything we asked for and more. Thank you for making it a day we will never forget.We coudn't have asked for more Venue Service By Leanne & David, on 26 Apr 2019Date of Wedding - 28 Jul 2018 My husband and I recently got married at this picturesque venue. We stayed from Friday to Monday and everything about our special day (and our stay) was perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything more. The staff were all welcoming and went above and beyond for their guests. We really liked the fact that all the staff that worked on our Wedding Day came to find us at the end of their shifts and congratulated us and thanked us for letting them be a part of it. The food was wonderful. We would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to get married or to enjoy a peaceful getaway in a friendly, relaxed environment. Thanks for making our day so special. We will be returning next year for our anniversary!The wedding of our dreams Venue Service By Amber Victoria, on 09 Jul 2018Date of Wedding - 20 May 2018 Me and my new husband celebrated our wedding here the same weekend as the royals and what a weekend it was! Every single part of the Lakeland package we chose was amazing and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an authentic Lake District wedding. Their staff and management at the venue are all amazing, nothing was too much trouble and all my guests spoke highly of the venue and the experience we shared. The food is absolutely amazing and the way they catered for any dietary requirements was outstanding and enjoyed by all. Thank you for hosting us for the wedding of our dreams.Intimate venue with amazing food and very helpful Venue Service By Martina and Phil, on 26 Apr 2018Date of Wedding - 09 Dec 2017 We chose the brierywood hotel due to the intimacy of the venue, location on the shore of Windermere and the amazing local menu offered with the Lakeland package. The staff were very helpful from the start of planning our wedding; helping us throughout the months running up to the wedding day with our questions. At the hotel you have the ability to book out the whole hotel which made our day feel even more special as it meant our family and friends could mingle and enjoy the surrounding area over a weekend. The staff were fantastic on the day and had everything set up and ready to go. The hotel is very kid friendly and didn't even mind some of the younger children playing dens with the lounge furniture. The food was fantastic with a brilliant breakfast choice for everyone including vegetarians and people with allergies. The bar menu choices were great too. The Lakeland package worked for us as it gave people not from Cumbria the opportunity to try local food and drink. We would definitely recommend this as a wedding venue.
