In the hidden valleys of Martindale at the heart of the northern Lake District National Park, Hause Hall is a 5-star rated licensed civil wedding venue exclusively for intimate celebrations. Exclusive three-night hire accommodates up to 18 guests across nine ensuite bedrooms, no corkage and full catering freedom or the option to use a variety of great recommended local caterers.

Facilities and Capacity

Hause Hall Farm occupies a breathtaking position in Martindale, overlooking the fells of the northern Lake District National Park. The farmhouse, the detached Cruik Barn with its galleried living room and open fire, and The Stables across the courtyard together create a wonderfully characterful and self-contained setting for an intimate wedding celebration. The nearby village of Pooley Bridge at the head of Ullswater offers welcoming pubs and restaurants, and a year-round lake steamer service from the pier at the base of Hallin Fell provides a memorable outing for wedding guests without the need to drive.

The farmhouse seats up to 18 guests for dining in its large open plan kitchen, family room and dining room, with a four-oven Aga, separate gas hob and electric oven, and a lovely day room overlooking the mountains. The Cruik Barn provides a second breakfasting kitchen and additional social space. Up to four additional day guests are welcome to join the celebrations.

Hause Hall Farm is a licensed civil ceremony venue, with the option of exchanging vows in the farmhouse itself or making the most of the dramatic fell and valley setting surrounding the property with an outdoor terrace garden wedding.

Services Offered

Hause Hall Farm is a licensed civil wedding venue, with The Rowley Estates Wedding Coordinator present on the day to welcome the Registrars, oversee the ceremony and ensure everything runs seamlessly before stepping back to leave couples and their guests to celebrate. Given its elevated location in the midst of the Lake District National Park, amplified music is not permitted at Hause Hall Farm but domestic background ambient music is permitted.

Catering is entirely flexible — couples are welcome to self-cater, bring a caterer of their choice, or select from a curated list of trusted local providers offering everything from formal catered dinners to informal meal drop-offs. There is no corkage charge.

Private viewings and planning meetings are offered throughout, with coordination support from first enquiry through to the day itself, including recommendations of local photographers, florists, hair stylists, makeup artists and evening entertainment.
