The most magical day we will never forget
We had our wedding here, and it was simply amazing the food was outstanding the staff were incredible and the rooms were off the scale, the Abbey House went above and beyond for us in more ways than one even down to giving me a sausage to bury in the gardens the night before, we couldn't of asked for better than what we got the hotel was simply amazing my only regret now is that its over 😢 but we have memories that will last a lifetime, thank you so so much for everything which you have done to make our day so special and run smoothly, we had the best day i could ever dream of ❤️

A Truly Magical Wedding Experience 🌟 Date of Wedding: 5th July 2025 Venue: Abbey House Hotel and Gardens, Barrow-in-Furness
Where do I even begin? Abbey House Hotel and Gardens is truly something else. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, everything was absolutely perfect. The venue itself is simply stunning – beautifully maintained grounds, elegant interiors, and an atmosphere that made our special day feel like something out of a fairytale. But what made it unforgettable were the people. Every single member of staff was warm, friendly, and went out of their way to make us feel special – right down to the amazing housekeeping team. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Lauren and Laura, our wedding coordinators. These two incredible women were the calm in the chaos. From our very first meeting, they had a gentle, reassuring presence that made us feel instantly at ease. Through all the planning, questions, and last-minute worries, they were there – steady, kind, and always ready to help. It felt like having two friends by our side who genuinely cared about making our day perfect. I honestly don’t know how we would have managed without them. Also, a special mention to Angie, one of the housekeepers – such a lovely, down-to-earth woman who brightened every morning with her smile – and to the manager, whose professionalism and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. I truly can’t recommend Abbey House Hotel and Gardens enough. It’s a breathtaking venue, but it’s the people who make it magical. They gave us the wedding of our dreams – and memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime. And to the whole Abbey House team – you weren’t just part of our wedding… you’re now part of our story. Thank you for everything.

AHH - Wedding of Mr & Mrs Holmes
Abbey House Hotel hosted our wedding back in August with the build up to the event stress free with complete ownership, leaving nothing to chance. What an events team, no problem too small, a real asset in Laura, Lauren and Rob, highly recommended! We cannot forget the bar team who look after us for the whole weekend, with a specific mention for Michael, assisted at every stage, with several friends and family needs to address. The while process of wedding organisation was seamless with a clear set of options, all built from a discussion around our likes, all made perfect by the events team. Thank you for the memories and assisting our special day! Michael & Amanda

The most perfect day!
We had the most amazing wedding at Abbey House on Sunday 18th August. I could not thank the wedding team enough, especially Lauren who was like a breath of fresh air from the beginning to end. I really feel like the day would not of been possible without all her and the teams hard work. Lauren answered all my questions quickly and nothing was to much trouble. On the big day Rob and Lauren made myself and Daniel feel so at ease so we were just able to enjoy our day. The staff at Abbey House were first class, everyone was friendly and welcoming. The whole day was absolutely perfect and Lauren really is the best in the business, we will be forever grateful to her for making our big day come together!

Dream wedding
We had the most perfect wedding at Abbey House Hotel. Laura and Lauren the wedding coordinators were just amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and they made our woodland wedding dreams a reality. The attention to detail was just phenomenal from the decor to the food and the overall service that we and our guests received. They really did think of everything and even helped us arrange a pre-wedding celebration meal the evening before the wedding for our family and friends that had travelled up and gave us our own private dining experience. All the staff at Abbey House went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and even let us plant a sausage in the gardens in the hope of good weather for our wedding (it worked). The food was amazing and it was such a nice touch to be able to offer our guests a variety of dishes for our wedding breakfast rather than a set meal. The other wedding suppliers that the coordinators recommended was so helpful as well when planning a wedding in an area not local to us. The grounds are beautiful (hence why we wanted an outdoor wedding) and just a short stroll takes you to the Abbey ruins. The rooms are next level in terms of decor and cleanliness and the honeymoon suites are just incredible. We will 100% return for our 1 year wedding anniversary, if not before. Abbey House is so reasonably priced whether you're going for a short stay or thinking of booking your wedding or special occasion with them and we cannot praise the staff, building and grounds and location enough. Thank you for giving us the most incredible wedding and making our family and friends stay so fabulous!
