Beautiful venue, amazing people!

We had our wedding at Low Hall the Lakes and what a magical day it was! The location on the edge of the Lake District is so beautiful - we had our ceremony outside on the lawn with mountain views in the background. Fran, Ben, and Rosie were super helpful and communicative from our first visit right through to the end of our stay; they suggested local suppliers and worked with us to coordinate the day. The farmhouse was gorgeous, and the breakfasts were 10/10 (and accommodated so well for veggie/vegan/gluten-free). Above all, Fran and Rosie made sure everything ran smoothly on the day, sorting out any minor hiccups and bringing the most wonderful energy to our day. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Cannot recommend Low Hall enough!!

Low Hall the Lakes was that absolute best wedding venue we could've dreamt of for our wedding. From the moment we first drove up the beautiful driveway and spotted the stunning farmhouse and barn, we knew this place had something special about it, and that feeling never left us. The whole venue, from the gorgeous house where we and our family could stay, to the traditional barn and absolutely beautiful gardens, really felt like home in the very best way. We wanted and informal and relaxed vibe for our day and the atmosphere at Low Hall was just spot on.

Beyond the idyllic location, what really makes Low Hall special is the people - Francesca, Ben, Rosie, Sally and the rest of the team are all the nicest people you could meet. They were so professional, we knew everything was always in the safest of hands, but they also just felt like our new best friends! From the amazing breakfasts Ben cooked for our family, to Rosie's efforts climbing a ladder to ensure my draping vision could come to life, nothing was ever too much trouble and they all went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Low Hall has hosted many, many weddings and their extensive experience shines through, but at the same time, they never lose their personal touch and still make every single couple feel so special.

The chance to have exclusive use of the venue from the day before your wedding until the morning after, and to use the barn for a welcome party for guests the night before if you wish, really sold it to us. We visited some other venues that felt much more like a 'wedding production line', but Low Hall is completely the opposite. You are truly treasured and valued throughout the whole process and there are so many options to use the different spaces around the venue however you wish that each couple can create such a unique and individual day.

The team's communication was faultless right from the start, all questions were answered straight away and they went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. As well as venue hosts, the whole team doubled as wedding coordinators on the day, ensuring everything ran seamlessly and were always there whenever we needed anything.

Francesca, Ben, Rosie, Sally - we honestly can't thank you enough for everything you did to create our most special, fairytale day. We just wish it could've lasted for longer!

The BEST Wedding Venue.

We had our wedding here a couple of weeks ago, and could not recommend it more for anyone wanting to get married in the Lake District. From the minute we viewed it and met Rosie, we knew we had to book. Rosie, Francesca and Ben (and every other member of staff) go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and looked after and they made our wedding planning process so fun and stress-free.

The venue itself is just amazing, you have exclusive use of the barn, farmhouse and gardens which was an absolute must for us. The farmhouse is beautifully decorated and feels like home, the breakfasts provided are fantastic and we just felt so well looked after.

There are different choices for the ceremony area, all equally beautiful. We chose the woodland area (which was another reason for our booking), and Ben kept us informed with the weather updates on the morning (incase it had to be moved inside) but also made sure that it was all set up and organised just how I had imagined, right on time.

I cannot find words for how amazing these people are, and how fabulous their venue is. We viewed a few highly rated others and none of them compare to Low Hall. This might be a business which hosts weddings back to back but as soon as you meet Rosie, Francesca and Ben, nothing about it feels like a business - just friends! We can't wait to hopefully visit again soon.

Hannah and Ian wedding at Low Hall

We had an absolutely amazing wedding at Low Hall the Lakes!
The venue is 10/10 gorgeous, beautiful gardens overlooking the hills where we had our ceremony outside. You couldn't ask for a more idyllic Lake District wedding venue. The barn and house are so lovely and Ben and Francesca have clearly paid great attention to every detail to make it so special.
The whole team including Francesca, Ben and Rosie are amazing. They were so helpful in all stages of planning, quick in response to our many questions via email and on the day helped everything to run really smoothly!
We only wish we could do it all again!

Couldn’t have wished for more!

Ben, Francesca, Rosie and all of the team were unbelievably kind, organised, and thoughtful. They made our day so special by making sure everything was running smoothly not only on the day but leading up to the day by helping with planning. This is a beautiful location, perfect venue and we were made to feel at home. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!

Wonderful wedding weekend

Low Hall is an incredibly special place in the most beautiful setting. From the first time visiting in January 2025 we were made to feel totally welcome and at home by Rochelle, Ben and Francesca.
Our wedding day in August 2025 was totally stress free thanks to their fantastic coordination and support. Having multiple ceremony options and a solid bad weather plan was ideal, not that we needed it. The backdrop of the fells behind us as we got married was perfection. The barn itself works so well, with different areas for those who want to be in the thick of the party and those that want to have a quieter sit down. Being able to stay on site with our bridesmaids and best men made for a full weekend event and an incredible relaxed wedding morning with no travel needed at all.
We could not have wished for a better venue or team for our wedding. Low Hall really do go above and beyond.

Low Hall made our dream wedding a reality

Choosing Low Hall as our venue was, without a doubt, the best decision we made in relation to our wedding. The venue and location are absolutely stunning, with beautiful mountain backdrops. There is a choice of ceremony spaces, both outdoor and indoor, and the flexibility to make a final decision on this (weather dependent) on the morning of the wedding. The team, Francesca, Ben and Rosie are the loveliest people you could hope to work with to plan your big day; attentive, knowledgeable and great fun! They worked with us to create the perfect day and to talk through the various options and their experience of what works well. The space worked perfectly for our big day with plenty of different areas for activities. We also loved the flexibility that we were allowed to choose food and drinks external to the venue. The team recommended various suppliers to us and we used a number of these and couldn’t have rated them more highly. Low Hall is a truly incredible wedding venue - there is magic in this place!

Dominika & Piotr wedding in May

Words cannot explain how beautiful Low Hall The Lakes is… We booked it without viewing it for our small wedding, and we have had the best time ever. The venue is just amazing, and pictures do not give it justice. Francesca, Ben and the team are so attentive and ensured we had the most amazing wedding day, just like we imagined (if not better!!)

Our wedding was very small, with just 9 of us in total. We had a 2 night stay in the farmhouse. Everyone was very happy with the rooms, breakfast and the venue in general. Our wedding ceremony was in the woodlands and since it was the beginning of May, we’ve had bluebells surrounding us, making it even more magical. After the ceremony, we went off on a hike with our photographer Joe Mather to Rannerdale Knotts whilst our guests stayed at the venue. They were very well taken care of, and they surely had a lot of fun without us! After the hike, we’ve had wedding breakfast in the library catered by Smoke and Steel and the table set up done by the Low Hall team was gorgeous!

Francesca and Ben have also organised our flowers for us, which was a huge help! I have to say, Harriet (the florist) has done an outstanding job and my bouquet was to die for.

We could go on and on about how great everything was.. We highly recommend Low Hall The Lakes to anyone, big or small wedding, It’s just the perfect place.

A few pictures from our phones below as we are still waiting for the professional ones :)

Absolute perfection

From the moment we arrived at Low Hall for our first viewing, and met Francesca, we knew we’d found the place we wanted to get married. The venue is magnificently beautiful, but quietly so - not intimidating or overwhelming, just effortlessly nailing every little detail and letting the Cumbrian landscape speak for itself. From the gardens brimming with colour, to the barn steeped in original rustic detail, to the quaintest of farmhouses, Low Hall emanates warmth and charm. The team take the venue to another level: calm, accommodating, infinitely organised, and totally reassuring. We felt like we’d know them for years! On the wedding day itself, Low Hall staff managed everything to perfection without ever being intrusive, proactively managing our slipping timeline, and generally keeping us and our guests happy and comfortable from morning ‘til night. Could not recommend highly enough.

A Truly Magical, Stress-Free Wedding Experience We’ll Never Forget

From the very beginning, our experience with this wedding venue was nothing short of incredible. Having exclusive access to both the venue and its beautiful grounds on our special day made everything feel so intimate and personal.

A special mention has to go to Francesca, Ben, Rosie, Rochelle, and the rest of the team. They are truly exceptional, warm, friendly, and so dedicated to making your day perfect. By the time our wedding weekend arrived, it honestly felt like we were being looked after by a group of friends or family. The entire experience on our wedding day was seamless and completely stress free. Even leading up to our wedding day the Low Hall team were diligent at answering question and helping with changes.

We’re already looking forward to returning for future events and anniversaries. If you’re looking for an authentic, heartfelt wedding experience with a team that genuinely cares, this is the venue for you. We would book it again in a heartbeat!

We haven’t had our professional photos back yet but attached is a taster of what our wedding looked like for March 28th, 2026 if anyone is considering a March wedding.

Our October wedding

From the minute we got to Low Hall we knew it was the venue for us. From the stunning scenery, beautiful barn and farm house, to the wonderful team who just made it feel so special. We loved how easy it felt to organise our wedding day, the whole team are so helpful and knowledgeable that we felt reassured everything was in hand from start to finish.
At this venue you can keep it as simple or extravagant as you like, we didn’t feel like we had to go over the top with decorations and other extras, the beauty of the venue really speaks for itself. One of the big things for us was that there were no ‘hidden extras’ that some venues like to charge for. Everything you need to host a wonderful wedding is included. We also loved that we had the flexibility to host a small get together the night before our wedding, extending the celebrations and making the most of our time there.
We honestly can’t thank Ben, Francesca, Rochelle and the team enough for how special our wedding was, memories that we will cherish forever.

10/10 - Amazing team and venue

Unforgettable Easter weekend wedding at Low Hall the Lakes. Planning a wedding from New Zealand could have been overwhelming but Ben, Francesca, Rosie and Rochelle were very helpful and comforting from the beginning!
We had an amazing weekend with our closest friends and family. Nothing was ever too much trouble for the team and they made sure everything went to plan!
The venue itself is stunning, everything we imagined it would be.
Can't thank the team enough for making sure we had an incredible weekend! If you're considering choosing Low Hall as a venue, do it! I can promise you won't be disappointed!

Gorgeous venue

We had our wedding here on the 9th December 2025. From the moment we viewed Low Hall we knew we wanted to get married there, we went on to vue another couple of venues but none could companre to Low Hall. The Barn and the house you also have access to for 2nights are both just gorgeous. Rochelle our wedding planner made the whole wedding process so easy, she gave us reccomendations for catering, music and room styling which all come together so perfectly. We will certainly be back for a little visit in the future.

The perfect Lake District venue!!

We honestly can’t thank Ben, Francesca, and the entire Low Hall team enough for helping us create the most incredible wedding day.

Low Hall is not only beautiful, but it also has the most relaxed, welcoming atmosphere — perfect for couples dreaming of a countryside celebration with a laid-back vibe. From our very first visit, we were made to feel completely at home, and it was such a pleasure working with Ben, Francesca, Rochelle and Rosie throughout the planning process.

Every single member of the team went above and beyond, not just for us, but for our family and friends too, making the whole weekend feel so special.

We also loved staying in the on-site cottage — it had everything we needed and more. The breakfasts for both mornings were absolutely delicious and made everything run so smoothly during a busy weekend.

Low Hall truly is a magical place, and we feel so lucky to have celebrated our wedding there.

Amazing Lake District Barn Venue And a Great Team!

We had our perfect wedding at Low Hall the Lakes! The venue is so beautiful and the whole day ran so smoothly thanks to the professionalism of the team at Low Hall! They were so helpful from start to finish, replying to E-mails answering the silliest questions, giving amazing suggestions, and helping us through the whole process. They were also super flexible with all of our requests and were so helpful at making our vision come to life.

The venue itself… wow! Set within the beautiful backdrop of the North Lakes, the lovable old barn really was lovable. It hardly needs any decoration as it has been put together so beautifully. It’s super easy to add your own spin on it to make it truly your own. Once the evening gets going the atmosphere is incredible, such a fun space to throw a party!

Speaking of making it your own, signature cocktails were a real winner for us! We also selected from their amazing beer packages that get put on ice in their old farm wheelbarrow for people to grab. The option to put a bit of cash behind the bar (both of them) was well received. Low Hall also had great selection of wines and a fantastic bar menu that kept everyone happy. All of this kept our guests merry and the party flowing long in to the night. Such a great set up - it had raving reviews from all!

The ceremony spaces (all three of them) are gorgeous. We went for the woodland, just the most beautiful and natural space, it felt very intimate and private, whilst also so magical, pretty, and connected with nature.

The farmhouse accommodation was perfect! We used it for the wedding party (bride, groom, bridesmaids, and groomsmen). An amazing place to prepare for the day, and soak it all in afterwards. It was so difficult to pick which room we wanted as they were all so lovely and well put together! And the breakfasts were to die for!

The team also worked so well with all of the vendors to make the day seamless, we hardly had to lift a finger other than giving some creative direction!

Low Hall gives you the most beautiful canvas to decorate with your own style, you are supported all the way through by the team, and the day is co-ordinated amazingly. We would recommend it to anyone and will recommend it to everyone!

Thank you Francesca, Ben, Rosie, Rochelle, and the rest of the Low Hall Team - from Ollie and Charlie
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
