Every year, the Cumbria Tourism Awards celebrate and reward the best venues across Cumbria and we are delighted to announce that we have won Cumbria Tourisms The Wedding Venue of the Year award. The award which was sponsored by Napthens LLP saw us win last night against 2 other shortlisted venues Caste Green Hotel and Heather Glen County House.
Last year we were also finalists in the Small Hotel of the Year category and this year we are delighted to have won the prestigious ‘Best Wedding Venue’ award!
We were voted for and judged by an independent panel, representing a trusted mark of quality in Cumbrian hospitality and we secured the top spot!
We think our hotel here at Broadoaks Country House is perfect for those looking to celebrate a special occasion and being labeled as top Cumbrian wedding venue is the icing on the cake for us!
The Setting
When it comes to celebrating a wedding we think it deserves an equally special setting which is why our hotel is perfect.
Situated just a stone’s throw from Lake Windermere and with a stunning view across the Lake District mountains, Broadoaks is in a magical location. You can wake to hear the sound of a babbling river on its way down to the lake and enjoy your morning coffee watching the sun rise over the Langdale Pikes, or take a walk around nearby lakes Ullswater or Windermere to wake up the senses.
However you choose to spend your time with us, it’s certain to be the perfect match for your special event.
Our Hotel
And, with such a beautiful setting, it’s only fitting that we provide a hotel to match!
Our hotel has a number of boutique, luxury rooms and suites to suit any preference. We offer a romantic collection, a classic collection, and a bijou collection, as well as the chance to opt for ‘The Retreat’, all of which come with hand-selected, bespoke interiors and beautiful decor.
On top of this, we offer two stunning dining options, the Oaks Brasserie and the Orangery, where our Michelin recommended head chef serves up delicious gourmet dishes honed through her experience in multiple professional kitchens.
You can also enjoy the seven acres of gardens we have to offer, as well as access to Low Wood Bay Spa, exclusive boat trips on the lake, our on-site helipad and more.
