The Wordsworth Hotel and Spa Reviews (19) Write a review Venue Service By Tom and Katie, on 11 Jun 2017Date of Wedding - 10 Jun 2017 My husband and I had our wedding reception here on June 10th. What can we say from the day we booked it to the day of the wedding the experience was exceptional. We would especially like to thank Rachael for all her hard work, no details were missed and she went above and beyond our expectations. The food was fantastic and so was the service that day, the staff were fantastic and we couldnt of asked for anything more. We couldnt of asked for a better day and would recommend this hotel for anyone considering a wedding in Grasmere. The receptionist even managed to find us a room so we could stay an extra night. We will definately be returning to the Wordsworth. Thank you Tom and Katie Markiewicz Venue Service By Becs and Dan, on 11 Jun 2017Date of Wedding - 21 May 2017 We got married at the Wordsworth 3 weeks ago and everything was perfect. Right from the start of the planning process the Wordsworth were organised and ensured we had the right package for the day. Rachel, the wedding planner was great ensuring to stay on top of any ammendments and changes keeping the whole planning process calm and enjoyable. The wedding weekend itself was perfect. We met Rach on the Friday to run through everything one final time and to go through the decorations. This put us at ease. The morning of the wedding was fab- the Bridal suite is beautiful and there is plenty of space for getting ready. I had 6 bridesmaids, 2 x make up artists, a hair dresser and a photographer in there and me and there was still room, plus there were sarnies and champagne to keep us going! The sun came out 10 mins before the ceremony and from there on in we had the best day ever! The wedding breakfast was ran to perfection with Rach overseeing everything as the master of ceremonies. The food was delicious- I can recommend the sticky toffee pudding! Everything ran smoothly and everyone enjoyed the food. The decorations looked great and there was a relaxed atmosphere throughout. The evening function room worked well for 120 people and the dancefloor was just thr right size with the band at the front. Everyone also thoroughly enjoyed their bacon and sausage sandwiches. All in all we could not fault our wedding day, it was perfect in every way, thank you to Rach and the rest of the Wordsworth team for helping to make it so perfect.We just wish we could do it all over again! Venue Service By Carol and Paul, on 11 Jun 2017Date of Wedding - 01 Apr 2017 Sorry this may be a long review..... We got married here on 1st April 2017 and absolutely would recommend this as a wedding venue or as a hotel stay. The hotel itself is gorgeous with lovely rooms. We had the inclusive exclusive wedding package which basically meant 100 of our friends and family took over the whole hotel and all the rooms from Friday lunch til Sunday lunch. This in itself was so amazing. To have all the people we love in one place for the whole weekend rather than just the big day. The staff were so lovely. In particular Rachael the wedding coordinator who was amazing from the minute she showed us round initially, through the months leading up to the big day (and my hundreds of emails which she always responded to), through the day itself and after. Genuinely thank you so much Rachael! Also, a special mention to Cat who spent a lot of time setting up the IT needed for the groom's speech. Everyone raved about every aspect of the wedding from the venue, the bedrooms, the grounds (we got the sun from about lunchtime ?), the food for the wedding breakfast. We had the ceremony, breakfast and evening do all in the Coleridge suite which meant we had to come out while the room was changed around each time but because of the grounds and all the little lounges which interconnect, it wasn't a problem at all. In fact, it added to the day. The hotel recommendations for the flowers, cake, hairdresser and photographer were also outstanding: Flowers - Lily Lou's of Ambleside Cake - Beauleas Cake Studio Lea Holcroft Photographer - Steve Holcroft Hair - Aqua the Salon I seriously cannot recommend this hotel enough, so much so that we're going back there for our mini moon! Venue Service By Cheryl and Paul, on 11 Jun 2017Date of Wedding - 11 Nov 2016 We were married here in November surrounded by our family and friends. The ceremony room and the restaurant looked stunning and the staff just couldn't do enough for us. Everything was perfect and every detail was managed with military precision by Rachael and her team. The food was spectacular and the service second to none. It couldn't have been better. Thank you. X Venue Service By Catherine and James, on 11 Jun 2017Date of Wedding - 16 Sep 2016 We chose The Wordsworth Hotel as our wedding venue and do not regret it one single bit. Rachael has been so helpful and full of advice and although she wasn't there for our big day, we couldn't have done it without her. In Rachaels absence, Catalin took over and was fantastic. He was there at our beck and call and helped calm the nerves of a very nervous bride and groom. The rest of the staff were excellent, very attentive, polite and courteous and our guests were well looked after. The food was absolutely amazing. From the restaurant meal on Friday night to our amazing wedding breakfast. All of our guests were very complimentary and said it was one of the best wedding meals they ever had! We obviously had the bridal (Ruskin) suite, which was beautiful with amazing views of the hills. Me and the girls used the room in the morning to get ready and there was plenty of space for us, the hairdresser and make up artist. We provided most of our own decorations and the hotel used them to decorate the hotel beautifully, it totally looked as I imagined if not better. I could go on and on about what a wonderful experience our wedding was and this is all down to the fantastic staff at The Wordsworth Hotel...thank you so much! We will definitely be back again soon xx Venue Service By Andy and Sarah, on 11 Jun 2017Date of Wedding - 30 Jul 2016 Absolutely fantastic hotel. We had the non-inclusive wedding package after getting married in St Oswalds Church next door. The wedding coordinator Rachael and her team did an excellent job, and she took all the stress and worry out of what is for many a hectic time during planning. We can't thank her enough, as well as Catalin and the others for their effort. The food was top notch, and many of our friends and family commented that it was the best wedding in they had attended, including their own! Highly recommended and we're looking forward to booking our next stay there for a slightly quieter weekend soon!

Catalin the manager and all the staff were fabulous! Planning a wedding can be very stressful, espeicially when it's away from home, but I can't thank everybody at the hotel enough for all the help and support they gave, Catalin most of all, who is very organised and answered questions we'd not even thought of! The hotel is beautiful in a wonderful little village, the rooms very comfortable and the food delicious, especially our 5 course wedding breakfast! We look forward to our next visit to The Wordsworth and many more to come.A Perfect Wedding Venue Service By Nigel R, on 22 Apr 2013We first stayed at the Wordsworth in December 2011, again in June 2012 and then had our Wedding there in August 2012. Firstly the setting and location of the hotel is perfect for all of us that love England's green and pleasant land and the village of Grasmere is delightful. The hotel itself has a variety of rooms, all of which are excellent and the vast majority with great views. Every time we have eaten there (including a Wedding Breakfast for 80 guests) the food has been faultless. Finally the team and management are friendly and approachable. Catalin the manager filled us with confidence the moment we met him and then he and his team delivered a perfect day that we will never forget. We highly recommend the hotel and will be returning there in the very near future. Prev Page 1 of 2 Next
