For a no-obligation show round or to ďŹ nd out more, contact our dedicated wedding co-ordinator on 017684 82444.

First class service and attention to detail Standing in 15 acres of manicured grounds with lawns sweeping to the shore of Lake Ullswater, the 4 star Inn on the Lake has one of the most stunning settings in the Lake District and is the perfect place for your wedding.

The General Manager and his team take great pride in looking after weddings at the Inn on the Lake, and thoroughly enjoy the day themselves, when their efforts are richly rewarded with happy smiles from the wedding couple and their friends and family. Our portfolio of thousands of complimentary letters, cards and photographs received from past wedding couples and their guests are testament to their satisfaction with our service and attention to detail.

From beginning to end, from the smallest detail to the bigger picture, every single requirement is handled with professionalism and ease. We are completely flexible to your requirements and will work together with you to fulfil your dreams.

for you and your guests The Inn on the Lake has 47 well-appointed and comfortable bedrooms, most overlooking the lake or surrounding fells.

The Luxury Collection feature bedrooms are particularly popular with wedding couples as they are large, beautifully decorated rooms with stunning views, which are considered very romantic and are the perfect setting for getting ready on the day of your wedding.

Special rates are available for your wedding guests

The Lake District is a unique place every day of the year and provides the most romantic backdrop for your wedding photographs and a very popular destination for your guests to visit.

Whatever the season, a wedding at the Inn on the Lake will always be striking.

In October when the leaves are turning golden yellow and the roads are less busy, into winter when the air is cold and crisp, the top of the mountains are covered in snow and the lakes look even deeper, the Inn on the Lake is a warm and welcoming place to greet your guests with a glass of hot mulled wine or winter punch in front of the roaring fire.

A Christmas wedding at the Inn on the Lake can be described as a fairy tale come true. From November until early January the hotel is adorned with festive decorations and fairy lights inside as well as outside, with the hotel oozing a warm and welcoming magical Christmas atmosphere. There can be no better time to celebrate a wedding with family and friends.

The Inn on the Lake is renowned both locally and nationally for the excellent food our award-winning chef and his team serve our guests.

Creative and exciting menus using fresh, local ingredients will ensure that your event is remembered not only for the occasion but for the cuisine itself.

As well as an extensive a la carte menu, from which you can tailor your own carte du jour, our head chef has also designed a selection of set menus to suit your taste and budget. On offer there’s also seasonal and Cumbrian menus, the famous Lake Gala buffet, a selection of finger and fork buffets and even a steamer menu (to be served on the Ullswater steamer in the afternoon).

On fine days your guests can enjoy the welcome drinks reception on the large lakeside terrace and the barbecue menu, including a fabulous Hog Roast, can also be prepared al fresco on this terrace.

Our Sommelier makes the wine choice easy for your big day, helping to choose from a range of drinks packages, each one of them intended to meet your budget and tastes. If you wish to compose your own welcome drinks and wines for the day, you will find our lists extensive, ranging from popular, inexpensive bottles of wine to the more unusual and impressive range. Anything you don’t see on our list we will do our best to obtain for you. Weather permitting, the drinks reception can be held on the hotel’s lakeside terrace or lawns.

For some guests the time between the wedding breakfast and the evening function can seem long. A lake cruise with fresh air and perhaps a glass of chilled Chardonnay in summer, or a mug of mulled wine in the winter, both served with canapĂŠs, is a welcome way of spending a couple of hours.

The Ullswater Steamers, just five minutes’ walk from the hotel, operate a schedule throughout the year and are a popular choice for wedding couples wishing to give their guests a unique experience, whilst preparing them for the evening ahead.

...and a fond farewell to your wedding guests Favours don’t have to be limited to the big day and since your guests have travelled to the Lake District, a basket in their bedroom filled with local specialities such as Kendal Mint Cake, Penrith Fudge, Willow Spring Water and a Lake District book, would be a fantastic way of welcoming them. To create even more excitement, send personalised gifts each night to their bedroom like two crystal glasses and a chilled bottle of wine.

An informal private dinner the evening before the wedding is a popular way of mixing your families and friends together. Play the host with a fun cocktail and boozy cupcake hour followed by a light dinner in either the restaurant, Orangery or one of our private dining rooms.

Post-wedding-day brunches are also becoming popular, since they are the last chance for everyone to spend time together in a relaxed laid-back setting and chat about the fantastic time they have had.
