Description

This charming country house is set in seven acres of beautiful secluded gardens and woodland and sits on the eastern bank of Lake Windermere. Recently renovated and modernised throughout, Briery Wood has moved from a traditional design to a more contemporary styled hotel. Licenced to hold marriage and civil partnership ceremonies, you can exchange your vows in our stylish ceremony room or if the weather is kind, in our beautiful garden gazebo. Or if you choose to get married in church, you can join us after the ceremony. We have three all-inclusive wedding packages for you to choose from, all of which offer you and your guests exclusive use of the hotel and grounds for your special day. Alternatively, if you’re searching for that perfect, intimate wedding, our “Just Us” package allow the happy couple to enjoy the day alone together. From the moment you book your wedding until the day you say, ‘I do’, our dedicated wedding team will be on hand to help you organise your day from start to finish. Start picturing your wedding day at Briery Wood and get in touch today to arrange a visit.

Most wonderful perfect experience
My husband & I married at Briery Wood on the 19th December with the Just Us package. It was the most wonderful, perfect experience made even more amazing by the wonderful staff who not only were our witnesses but also went above and beyond to make our day special. Our evening meal was outstanding and we will definitely be back for a meal again. Would recommend anyone marrying/staying at this wonderful hotel but have to say the staff make it memorable as they are so lovely.

A beautiful home from home
We got married here at the weekend and what an amazing time we had! All of our guests left happy and are still contacting us to say how wonderful the staff were, how amazing the food was, how beautiful the surroundings were. We had the entire hotel to ourselves all weekend, it's a beautiful home from home. Roger and Lisa were incredible to work with from the very beginning, also David, Danny, and Madga were all wonderful too. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Beautiful memories to last a lifetime! Thank you so much!

AMAZING
We can’t thank the staff at Briery Wood enough for making our Wedding weekend in September so special! The planning and organisation, room allocation, food, venue, grounds, cleanliness, friendliness ......I could go on and on, was all AMAZING! All our guests thoroughly enjoyed the day/ weekend and we just want to do it all again. We want to also say a special thank you to Roger (manager) and Lisa (wedding co-ordinator) for going the extra mile to make our day perfect. We had around 70 guests at our wedding and the venue size was just perfect. I can’t recommend the Briery Wood enough as a wedding venue and we can’t wait to stay with you again.

The perfect day
Thank you to everyone who made our wedding so perfect. I remember at the beginning of 2018 when we first visited the hotel looking at venues, the second we stepped inside Briery we knew it was where we were going to celebrate the most important day of our lives. The main thing that stood out then and still does now is every member of staff who works there. You are all so friendly and go out of your way to help and make guests feel at home. Special mention to Tracey & Dan who were fantastic on the day and were on hand throughout to ensure everything went smoothly. All my guests commented on how nice the hotel was, how amazing the food was and how nice the staff were. You really did make the day so perfect so thank you so much.

A truly magnificent weekend
Thank you so much to everyone who was involved in our truly magnificent weekend. You all went above and beyond in every aspect and all our guests had a fabulous time!

Everything about our special day was perfect
My husband and I recently got married at this picturesque venue. We stayed from Friday to Monday and everything about our special day (and our stay) was perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything more. The staff were all welcoming and went above and beyond for their guests. We really liked the fact that all the staff that worked on our Wedding Day came to find us at the end of their shifts and congratulated us and thanked us for letting them be a part of it. The food was wonderful. We would highly recommend this venue for anyone looking to get married or to enjoy a peaceful getaway in a friendly, relaxed environment. Thanks for making our day so special. We will be returning next year for our anniversary!
