Lake District Weddings | Skiddaw Hotel
The stunning Lake District and the Skiddaw Hotel the best choice you can make for Lake District Weddings
Great poets, writers and painters have over the years been inspired by the Lake District and have described it as the most romantic place in the world and who could argue with that?
With its stunning lakes and spectacular mountains, its sparkling
rivers and cascading waterfalls, its breathtaking flora and fauna
and its charming villages and towns the Lake District really is
a romantic paradise.
In the midst of all this beauty in the heart of the picturesque town of Keswick lies the Skiddaw Hotel. Imposing yet welcoming this historic hotel provides an oasis of warm hospitality in elegant, comfortable surroundings.
Step inside and experience traditional Lakeland hospitality at its best.
Choose from a Large Selection of Menus of the Highest Quality
The cuisine at the Skiddaw Hotel is known for its high quality and Head Chef, Brian Alston, is very particular with his menus making sure the ingredients and produce are locally sourced when possible. Lamb and beef are a popular choice at the Skiddaw Hotel, as there is an abundance of locally produced quality meat in the Lake District.
You can design your own menu from the a la carte section, or you can choose one of the set menus, which have been carefully put together by our Head Chef. Whatever you decide you can be assured that on your wedding day, your guests will be impressed with the food.
Should you have any special requirements for your Lake District Wedding, or if there is something on the menu you would like to change, we will be delighted to assist

Why not choose a wedding date during these times and take advantage of some very special rates, or if you can arrange your wedding Sunday Thursday you can also obtain a special price. Please, talk in more detail to our wedding co-ordinator.
