Your Special Day

We know that choosing the venue for your big day is an important decision. With the English Lake District being voted one of the most romantic destinations in the UK, there could be no more perfect place to have your wedding. In the midst of this natural beauty you will find oases of luxury where you can celebrate your wedding in exactly the way you dreamed of.

Cragwood is big enough to feel grand but still small enough to be intimate and relaxed too. The atmosphere is informal, welcoming and really quite special.

We know that every couple will have a different vision for their special day.  So whether you prefer to give your imagination free reign or are looking for creative inspiration, our experienced wedding planners are on hand every step of the way to help make that dream come true.

There is no formula and no set package. Each wedding is as unique as the setting itself. Whether you want to get married at church and join us for your celebrations afterwards or would like to tie the knot in the elegant surroundings of Cragwood, we can accommodate your every need.

Choose from a civil ceremony in one of our stylish ceremony rooms or maybe a garden wedding in our beautiful gazebo. Our landscaped grounds and the stunning Lake District views provide a truly romantic backdrop for your wedding photographs.

Food & Drink

It's in the way ingredients are selected, prepared and combined. The way recipes are tried, refined then tried again. Our highly experienced chefs can provide mouth-watering inspiration as you plan the menu for your big day.

Using only the best seasonal and locally sourced ingredients our wedding breakfast menus give you a taste of just some of the dishes on offer – from simple classics to contemporary combinations.

No day would be complete without a celebratory tipple – whether it’s a glass of Pimms on arrival, a flute of champagne to toast the happy couple or a glass of the finest malt whiskey as the night winds down. We also have an impressive wine list to complement your wedding breakfast.

As the evening celebrations get underway, why not treat your guests to fine cheeses and Port, or for something a little different - mini fish and chips!

Your Wedding Cake

With many years’ experience baking and decorating beautiful wedding cakes our very own cake designer will work with you to produce a unique creation as individual as your wedding day itself.

Your Wedding Ceremony

Our civil ceremony license means you can enjoy the entire day without leaving the comfort of your surroundings.

Cragwood has a number of stylish rooms available for civil wedding ceremonies. For a truly romantic setting we can also offer you exclusive use of our wedding gazebo, set within our beautifully landscaped.
