Small and Intimate Wedding Venue in the Lake District

This glorious, private farmstead of slate and Lakeland blue stone has a stunning glass extension and broad terrace overlooking sweeping hills above Ullswater. Renovated to the standard of a five star hotel, but with the privacy of a hermitage, it’s licensed for weddings so you can hold your ceremony and party in one unique place. (If you’re having a church service, the beautiful parish church of St Peters with its stained glass or the simple chapel of St Martins with its thousand-year-old yew tree are both a short walk away.

Lay out your candlelit wedding feast on the long banqueting table, as chandeliers twinkle and a log fire blazes from the lime-washed, beamed reception hall beyond space and light flow effortlessly throughout Hause Hall. Hold drinks and photographs on the spectacular sandstone terrace. If Cumbrian mists descend, they won’t dampen your day, just move into the impressive glass Day Room: the view’s the same.

Dance on the terrace under a canopy of stars and then fall into bed. The suites of silk-hung and carved polished wood antique beds, Egyptian cotton and feather down, fresh flowers and chandeliers, roll-top claw-footed baths and rainfall showers keep the magic alive as barn owls hoot a final toast to your day. So romantic and wild it makes Cathy and Heathcliffe look tame, Hause Hall is a wedding venue like no other for intimate or elopment weddings.
