    Excellent food and drink in beautiful location!

    Excellent food and drink. Varied menus. Professionally trained staff always delicious willing to help. Thursday Pan Asian food is delicious but Sunday lunch is the best in Penrith. Coffee served after lunch in the garden a real treat. Highly recommend.

    The best wedding venue!!

    I don't even know where to start. We live in the Lake District with so many nice hotels but Roundthorn really stood out to us. The flexibility of building your own package, the venue itself, the views and the people are just incredible. We had our perfect day at the end of November and the venue lit up with lights is breathtaking. Anouska and the rest of the Roundthorn team are exceptional and I don't think we could have been looked after better or we could have asked for anything more. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone commented on how amazing the food was and how spacious their rooms were 100/10.

    Best Wedding Venue


    “Firstly, I want to say how grateful we are that we were able to have Roundthorn Country House for our wedding in the first place. We changed venue last minute due to unforeseen circumstances and what could have been a very stressful time, was made completely stress free by the wonderful team at Roundthorn.

    Meini and Anouska were absolutely amazing in making sure our day was the most special day we could have ever imagined. Stunning venue and the food was spectacular! We are still getting lots of compliments from our guests saying how much they enjoyed the day and how organised the staff were.

    We had hoped to have our ceremony in the beautiful stunning outside pergola/gazebo. However, the weather wasn’t on our side. Although, we can honestly say this didn’t affect our day in the slightest. The indoor ceremony room is just stunning. We couldn’t fault Roundthorn and will be forever grateful we got to have our special day there. We can not wait to return for all our anniversaries and special events. Roundthorn will always have a special place in our hearts.

    Lots of love Mr and Mrs Millican 🥰 xxxxxx”

    Amazing wedding experience!


    We recently celebrated our daughter’s wedding at the Roundthorn Country House Hotel in August 2025, and we honestly couldn’t have wished for a better venue or experience. From the very beginning, Meini and her wonderful team were always on hand with advice and support. We made many calls during the planning process, and every single time her calm, can-do attitude shone through — nothing was ever too much trouble.

    On the day itself, everything ran seamlessly. The stunning backdrop of the Lake District provided the most beautiful setting, and our guests were blown away by the views. The wedding breakfast and canapés were absolutely superb, with so many of our guests commenting on the quality and flavour. Every member of staff we encountered was exemplary — professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly.

    We also stayed overnight and found the rooms to be very comfortable and well appointed. After a restful night, we enjoyed a lovely breakfast to round off a truly special experience.

    We are so grateful to Meini and all the team at Roundthorn for helping to make our daughter’s wedding day so perfect. It’s a day we’ll treasure forever, and we couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough

    Amazing wedding experience

    The service from the team at Roundthorn was amazing. From our initial visit to the big day, we couldn’t have asked for more. Anouska was our wedding coordinator and she was brilliant - nothing was too much hassle - she had everything in hand and I knew I didn’t need to worry about anything on the day. The food was fantastic - our guests said it was some of the best they’d had at a wedding, and they were extremely complimentary of the staff, who were so friendly and efficient. We have such amazing memories of our day and couldn’t element Roundthorn enough. Thanks again for making our day so special.

    The best day!

    What can I say about Roundthorn and their incredible staff... From the initial contact to the wedding itself, they couldn't have made planning our day any easier- we didn't have to worry about a thing! So many people who came said it was the best wedding food they'd ever had, and the decor was beautiful. There were lots of personal touches/decor that we wanted for the day but never had time to sort them out- we left them with the staff the day before in a big box, and came in after the ceremony to discover everything had been arranged with such care and attention to detail. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so friendly. To top it off, value for money wise it was fantastic. You can pay so much these days for venues where you have to do everything yourself, when Roundthorn offer the full package for a very reasonable price! The accommodation was also perfect for all our family and friends who had travelled a long way, but being close to Penrith meant other people didn't have the issue of finding a place to stay in the middle of nowhere.

    All in all, the most fun I've ever had and I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Thank you all so much!

    The perfect venue!

    I cant recommend The Roundthorn Country House enough from the first viewing of the venue we knew this was our venue. Anouska and Collette are so welcoming and professional as are all the staff at the Roundthorn. Nothing seemed too much and made what could have been the most stressful time of our lives effortless and enjoyable! Leading up to our big day Collette and Anouska would often check in on me and answer any questions I had. We went for a taster day and the food was amazing and this was no exception on our wedding day too which all our guests agreed they especially loved being able to chose from a starter and desert on the day. Our day could not have been better the whole team at Roundthorn made it perfect all my guests could not compliment the staff enough. The Roundthorn itself just has an amazing homely feeling to it, it is the perfect most gorgeous venue with the outside and inside options of ceremony both being beautiful. The grounds are amazing and the rooms were all perfect for our guests. The apartments were a big hit and meant we could make a full weekend of our big day. The Roundthorn won wedding venue of the year for Cumbria a week before our wedding and we are not surprised. We cant wait to visit for our anniversaries and only wish we could do it all again.

    The most perfect day

    From the minute we drive up to Roundthorn, we just knew it was going to be our venue. Then we met with Anouska, who was just amazing and we were certain it was for us! Anouska looked after us the whole time and was just incredible, as is the whole entire team. Nothing was too much of an ask for them, they made sure that everything we wanted became a reality.

    The venue itself is just stunning. A perfect, cosy setting with everything you need all in one place. The views are beautiful and made for a gorgeous backdrop when we used the grounds for some outside photos!

    The food was to die for, everyone agreed!! The amount of guests who told us how much of an amazing time they had, blew us away and that was all down to Roundthorn team!

    If we could do it all again we would. We just can’t recommend them enough! 10/10 in every aspect!!
