Being a sought-after Lake District wedding venue, Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa offers an unforgettable setting, with breathtaking views. Couples are drawn not only to the scenery, but to the sense of calm, luxury and attention to detail that defines every celebration here.

The Conservatory makes a beautiful, light-flooded space for a welcome drink and canapés reception. Opening out to our outdoor terraces with views to the magnificent Lodore Falls Waterfall situated in our grounds, it’s a great space to mingle with your guests.

Our Derwent Suite can accommodate up to 100 guests for an elegant sit-down wedding breakfast and up to 120 for an evening reception. Featuring stunning chandeliers and customisable coloured lighting, you can expect a warm and inviting atmosphere.

If you’re tying the knot in summer, our Garden Gazebo offers an outdoor ceremony idyll with lush emerald-hued lawn underfoot and panoramic vistas of Cat Bells Fell and Lake Derwentwater. 

As a leading spa wedding venue in the UK, the addition of The Falls Spa brings an extra layer of luxury and indulgence to your celebration. It’s the perfect place for couples to unwind together before the big day, enjoy some well-deserved relaxation after the wedding, and return for future anniversary breaks — a place where you can revisit those special memories and reminisce in complete tranquillity.

What truly makes a Lodore wedding special, however, is the people behind it. Our experienced team takes pride in delivering each couple’s vision with care and precision, something consistently reflected in our real wedding reviews and wedding testimonials. It’s this combination of setting, service and lasting connection that brings couples back time and time again.
