My husband and I had our wedding at this amazing venue last week. From start to finish everything was perfect! The staff are absolutely fantastic. Our wedding coordinator, Little Jo, was brilliant and ensured our day went smoothly. However, in the run up to the big day we spoke with Viki and Amber who were also extremely helpful with our last minute questions/ panic! The staff on the day were also incredible and nothing was too much trouble (special mention to Ed and Sasha).

The food was exquisite! All our guests commented that the food was lovely, even the breakfast the next morning. And the rooms! Wow! We stayed in the retreat and even though it was 2am we made use of the enormous jacuzzi bath! Our guests absolutely loved their rooms and have said they will definitely be returning. My husband and I are already planning our anniversary trip and cannot wait to return!

Beautiful location near to the Lake District amenities. Would have been higher. Room had a fantastic ensuite with Jacuzzi bath, but only a standard double bed. Food was good but same menu both nights

I just wanted to say thank you, to the brilliant staff, our wedding was on the 30th of March 2022. I can confidently say from the wedding preparations to the final day, nothing was ever too much to ask, all our inquiries were responded to promptly. The rooms were just stunning, our guests were very impressed, grounds immaculate, gorgeous views, plenty of parking. The food was also great, test and presentation, what can l say we had a fantastic stay at Broadoaks country house, and would highly recommend.
