The very best wedding venue we could have hoped for. We were desperate for a wedding venue after last year's cancellation, so checked out the brochure on 4th June last year, had a video tour in the evening, visited on the 6th, booked it and deposit paid on the 9th, we were that impressed by what we saw (admittedly a building site).

Risk paid off. The venue were on the ball enough so that the legal ceremony could be outside on the shores of Windermere, so we had an unforgettable occasion - the sounds of the waves breaking, birds in the trees, made for a really natural, wild ceremony.

The barn has been done spectacularly, suitable for 60-90 I'd think, with a smart terrace outside with decking overlooking the lawn.

There was accommodation for 9 couples, in 3 separate areas, and the best man said it would have been great if it was half as good. It's the little things - there were 25 plug sockets in one room, so it's not like those annoying hotel rooms where you have to put your phone on charge 3 metres away. The communal nature of the cottages makes it great for getting together to chill the night before and getting ready in the morning (some people can't be trusted to dress themselves). It's these little things that made it such a great venue. We chilled out the evening before with a BBQ on the beach, trying out standing up paddle boarding, which due to the size of the venue was away from the thoughts of the wedding the next day.

Cheryl and Ness went above and beyond what was required from them, they coped with my mad schemes and there were no hidden costs that popped up (nonsense you get in other venues like having to pay for a dance floor etc). With the effort that has gone into it and the potential in the estate, I think it will get better in the next few years, as the garden area matures. Cheryl was very responsive with questions, and accommodating of any issues we had.

I knew of at least a dozen guests who personally mentioned what a great venue it is. No matter what theme you're looking for, you'll not go far wrong with Town Head.

Words cannot describe how special Town Head is, and we could not be more grateful to have got married there!

The venue’s grounds and facilities are incredible, from the beautiful accommodation, to the private jetty with paddle boards on lake Windermere, as well as all the beautiful gardens and grounds.

The staff, including Tanya, Beth and Hannah were all so warm, welcomming and helpful, it meant our wedding was seamless. Our guests were hugely impressed with both the venue itself as well as all the staff working there.

Thank you to everyone at Town Head!

Town Head Estate is a dream! The venue is gorgeous, the quality of the barn and cottages are perfect - they are so well cared for.

The staff (I have to particularly call out Beth!) are lovely and welcoming as well as incredibly knowledgeable they went above and beyond helping us with recommendations on suppliers and making suggestions to help the day run smoothly

Thank you!!

We are so happy that we chose Townhead for our wedding day in June 2024. As a local girl I knew I wanted to get married in the Lakes and with so many venues to choose from it was difficult to decide. But as soon as we came across Townhead we fell in love – with the amazing access to the lake, beautiful, restored barn and accommodation and gorgeous gardens. After we visited, we fell in love even more and booked it on the spot. Tanya and her team looked after us so well in the build-up to the day, suggesting suppliers, working out drinks packages to save costs and helping with ideas for how the day could flow. The day went seamlessly, with a huge thanks to Tanya and her hardworking team for keeping things on track. We hired Townhead for three nights and had a great family breakfast and afternoon pizza party the day after. With many guests travelling far it was a perfect way to finish our wedding weekend. We can’t thank Tanya, Cheryl and the whole Townhead team enough for their support and help and highly recommend booking Townhead for your wedding! Mr and Mrs Pearce x

We truly couldn't have chosen a better venue & Tanya is an absolute superstar.

Experience -

Our experience at town head was fantastic from start to finish and the arrival of an unprecedented snow storm made us truly appreciate how wonderful Tanya and the team are. Without them much of our wedding would have not been possible. Just after our guests arrived roads were shut, cars were abandoned and people were stranded - including our registrar! But town head to the rescue, rescued her by tractor!

If this wasn't enough they later ferried all our guests in a truck back to their homes and hotels as it was near impossible for them to get home. Without them, we would have had over 70 stranded guests sleeping in the wedding barn!

What made their efforts more admirable is the wedding party really had no clue how snowed in we really were as they calmly ensured all celebrations continued without a hitch!

We don't think we could ever thank them enough and will always thank them for going above and beyond to make our day so special.

Tanya made us feel relaxed from the moment we arrived and nothing was too much trouble.

The venue -

Absolutely stunning. Set on the edge of the lake with the entire estate to ourselves and guests. Many location options for the ceremony/cocktail hour/ reception/ photos come rain or shine! We opted for the wedding barn as it was December, it was just perfect.

The accomodation -

The 3 cottages and bridal cottage (all beautiful) meant family and the bridal party could all stay on site the evening before, and night of, the wedding. The hot tubs were the icing on the cake, never felt more relaxed - perfect pre-wedding pamper.

The bridal suite -

Such a lovely large room adjoining the bridal cottage for the bridal (or grooms) party to get ready in!

Dog friendly -

We couldn't get married without our pooch Sulley, so this was a great option for including him in our day!

Again thank you Tanya and the team, I couldn't recommend them more.

Our day was made perfect at Townhead due to the teamwork by all the staff and suppliers working together to make sure our day was flawless throughout.
The weather was perfect the staff were all so polite, as a bloke prices are always one to make us wince a wee bit, but if I was given a chance to do it all again I would not hesitate one bit I loved this day and it will remain as the best day of my life in the most perfect location decorated beautifully to make our dreams become a reality.

Thank you again Townhead
Love Ste & Amy

Wow, there are no words! We booked the TH for our wedding whilst it was a building site, why you say? Because we had every faith in Cheryl’s vision of the final product! We 100% made the right decision! We had originally booked to have our ceremony in the boat house on lake Windermere but on the morning of the wedding it was raining and I mean RAINING! Cheryl asked me due to this and the walk down to the boathouse would we like our ceremony in the barn. We are truly thankful of this offer as it ended up being perfect! Even thinking about it now makes me emotional at how amazing it was. The stone walls of the building and adjoining to our reception area along with the gorgeous ambience of the lighting made it truly romantic! Even though the rain was non stop all day we feel it added to the vibe of our boho relaxed wedding and the photos are truly stunning. Tanya was our planner for the day and nothing was too big nor small of an ask! She did a wonderful job running around making sure everything was just perfect! If we could marry here again we would in a heartbeat and I truly hope one day we can renew our wedding at this gorgeous estate! Before the wedding when locals asked where we was getting married they stated it as the ‘new and exclusive’ place to get married and they were so right! Also if we had known how gorgeous the bridal cottage would end up being we would of booked to stay here too as it’s stunning, the attention to detail has the true wow factor and the bridal suite for getting ready was divine! Thank you all at TH for giving us the intimate wedding we had dreamt of! Mel & Craig xx

When we looked at Town Head Estate last year as a possible wedding venue, it was still very much a building site. But we instantly fell in love with the location and the ability for guests to sleep there, having access to lake Windermere for a swim, gorgeous land which can be used in so many different ways and a really romantic greenhouse. Cheryl showed us around and explained all of her ideas for the place - from the bridal suite to the hot tubs and a jetty by the lake. She had it completely figured out. In the end it was clear for us that Town Head was it!

We were lucky enough to get a weekend booking and our wedding took place in September '21 with the venue exactly how it had been described to us. The beautiful ceremony barn, the on-site accommodation, the boathouse, the bar and everything else was perfect.

Throughout the planning process, Cheryl has been extremely patient, friendly and helpful, making sure we felt comfortable with everything she did. I think we may have won the price for asking the most questions in the lead up :D - but to every question, Cheryl had an answer or a solution (i.e. plans for rain, sign for ceremony music to start, where to best serve cocktails, the list goes on). She also put us in touch with other suppliers and was genuinely a great sound board for the plans we had in mind. This really put us at ease and we felt relaxed and excited when the weekend finally came.

The day ran smoothly with the help of Cheryl and the team who were there to make sure everything was going well, which was hugely appreciated.

All in all, we 100% recommend this venue which, due to the lovely owners, amazing location and perfectly renovated barns/accommodation - the ideal place to get married!

What a perfect venue! Cheryl and David have done an absolutely amazing job renovating the estate into the amazing venue it is now. When we first viewed the venue in September 2020, it was a building site, with no floors and was basically a shell. It was a bit of a gamble, but it really paid off! The finish of the barn and all the accommodation is very high end. We loved the flexibility of the venue, with a number of options of how a wedding could be run from using the barn/hiring a marquee/ using the boathouse and getting married outside. The grounds were a big selling point for us with Town Head having large grounds and even its own private beach overlooking Lake Windermere. This allowed us to have a wedding morning swim in the lake with our guests and get married outside overlooking the shores of Lake Windermere. We also managed to have an activity day with our guests the day after the wedding, with yoga in the boathouse and watersports (we hired ourselves) on the lake.

It was brilliant to be able to have all our close family staying on site allowing us to spend more time with them before, during and after the wedding and an accessible room for my grandparents. Cheryl and her second in command Nessa could not have been more helpful before, on and after the big day! Thank you everyone at Town Head Estate for making our wedding day so special and memorable.

We had the most perfect weekend at Townhead. The most beautiful venue, renovated to a very high spec and the host could not have been more approachable, nothing was too much trouble x

We got married I mid-July at town head estate and had the most perfect wedding imaginable. The venue itself is amazing and the grounds the venue is on are stunning. We had really good weather for our day and changed our ceremony last minute to take place outside. The staff are tremendous and are so helpful and attentive. They helped the day run so smoothly and took a lot of pressure away from us. I also felt we got amazing value for money.

We've had so many compliments from our guests saying it's the most perfect and beautiful wedding they've ever been to.

Everything went so perfectly and I couldn't recommend this venue and the team enough
