Description

To create your dream wedding you require a fairytale location. New House Farm situated in the stunning Lorton valley and surrounded by the Lakeland Fells is that unique and special place. Originally built in 1650, New House Farm has retained many of its original features but combines them with a touch of elegance and sophistication to create an atmosphere of a bygone era. Sitting rooms with open log fires, individually designed bedrooms with heavenly beds, delicious duvets and wonderful changing views go to create this unique private venue. The secluded gardens, babbling brooks, enchanting pond and stunning Lake District scenery add the finishing touches to a fairytale wedding and provide the perfect backdrop for memorable romantic photographs. The wedding receptions are held in The Hayloft of an original Lakeland barn which has been restored to the highest standards with traditional materials. Bright and airy with a graceful combination of rustic chic and modern facilities the oak beams are offset by the natural exposed stone walls. The Hayloft can cater for up to 130 people with the added benefit of having its own professional kitchen. This stunning blank canvas allows you to put your style and mark on your special day. Exclusive use will provide you with two nights of accommodation in our bespoke country house. New House Farm is a perfect location for your winter wedding. Surrounded by stunning scenery, rolling hills that go on for miles, what better setting could you ask for of crisp snow-topped mountains and glistening waters. Our winter weddings run from November until mid-March, at a reduced costing. For smaller weddings we offer a mid-week wedding package which is available at a reduced cost. You will have access to the barn from Sunday Afternoon until your special day to decorate how you please. For intimate weddings with up to 20, our licensed room within our country house will create the perfect backdrop for your special day.

Picture perfect
From the time we viewed the venue till the day of wedding, Hazel has been absolutely wonderful. Having our wedding at New House was truly magical. The setting was perfect and the staff were brilliant. A special thanks to Gina for making sure that the day went smoothly. We couldn't recommend New House Farm enough.

A HUGE thank you for all your help and kindness!
This is just a quick email to say a HUGE thank you for all of your help and kindness (and also to the rest of your team) and for letting us use your most beautiful venue for our special day on Saturday, we are so grateful! We really couldn't have asked for a calmer, more understanding person to make it the most perfect day!

Hazel and her kind staff went above and beyond!
We had booked four different venues to look at when we started looking for our wedding venue, with New House Farm being our first appointment. As soon as we arrived, we knew immediately that this was 'the one'. Upon meeting the wonderful Hazel, who sealed the deal for us, we booked our wedding date that very same day and cancelled our other viewings. Our wedding day has since been and gone but the memories and magic of our New House Farm wedding will stay sweet in our minds forever!!

Absolute perfection!
My husband and I knew the second we pulled up in the car to tour New House Farm that it was where we wanted to get married. It was the first and only venue we viewed and after completing the tour and meeting with the lovely Hazel we were adamant and we booked and set our date that same day. From start to finish Hazel was absolutely flawless in ensuring we had all the information we needed, replying promptly to any questions, and making sure everyone and everything was where it needed to be on our big day. With a 6 year old daughter with additional needs and an 8 week old baby we had our hands full but Hazel was more than happy to assist in guiding my eldest with me down the aisle and also allowing me to express and pump in the main house throughout our wedding evening to ensure my maximum comfort. We stayed the evening before our wedding and enjoyed a lovely comfy bed in the Low Fell Room with complementary locally made hand soap in the bathroom and a delicious hot cooked breakfast in the morning complete with tea and coffee as well as fresh orange juice! We would recommend New House Farm to anyone and our only complaint is that our wedding day is over and we can't do it there all over again!

BEST VENUE - New House Farm
Got married July the 4th, 2024 at New House Farm and it was an absolutely PERFECT experience from start to end. My partner and I live abroad in Chicago so knew planning a Lake District wedding remotely might be a challenge but Hazel and the New House team made it so incredibly easy. We had calls with a few other venues who very inflexible and immediately felt a sense of relief when we FaceTimed with Hazel- she made it clear from the beginning it was our day and her and her team were there to support whatever type of wedding we wanted. The recommended vendor list was very comprehensive and made planning so much less stressful. We simply had the best wedding we could have asked for and were told by multiple friends and family that it was the best wedding they had attended, in large part to the stunning venue and welcoming staff. THANK YOU THANK YOU New House Farm- we are so grateful!

New House Farm is a very special place and from booking through to the actual day, Hazel and the team were flawless. Our guests couldn’t believe how stunning it was and we couldn’t fault a thing. Outstanding!

We highly recommend New House Farm to anyone!
We highly recommend New House Farm to anyone looking for a wedding venue. The whole setting is beautiful and Hazel (the owner) and her team can’t do enough for you to ensure your day runs as smoothly as possible. The help and support we received, not only on the day, but also in the lead up to the wedding was brilliant. We really can’t thank everyone enough for helping to make our day so special and memorable.

We couldn't have imagined a better venue!
Hazel and her team were so helpful and reassuring throughout the planning and were so adaptable to make sure we could run the wedding we wanted in the way we wanted it! Hazel was a wonderful host and went above and beyond on the morning of the big day to make sure myself and the bridal crew were all fed and caffeinated, and the rest of the team looking after us ran everything so wonderfully, there expertise alleviated so much potential stress so we could just enjoy the moment.

100% recommend! It is the perfect wedding venue!
My husband and I got married here and would 100% recommend! It is the perfect wedding venue! Hazel, Gina and the rest of the team were just incredible, nothing was too much to ask and they made it run like clockwork! We needed to iron some shirts and asked to use the iron but instead Hazel insisted that she would do it for us, there were countless other instances where Hazel went above and beyond to make our day not only as memorable as possible but as stress free! Personally we found New House

Travel Notes

By car Some Sat Navs take you a very strange way and in fact lead you to a farmhouse four fields away. Sadly, in the countryside you can’t rely on being taken straight to the correct door. Postcodes will get you to the general vicinity and some even mange to bring you straight here, but they seem to go berserk about a couple of miles out. Bring back the good old map I say! Try Google Map searching for ‘New House Farm’ and the post code ‘CA13 9UU’ and that should work. Otherwise For anyone travelling from the North or South, exit at junction 40 of the M6 and head west to Keswick and Cockermouth on the A66. The road bypasses Keswick and about 2 miles further on there is a road going left over Whinlatter Pass on the B5289 which takes you over to Lorton. Continue along this road for about 4 miles until the T junction then head left for Lorton – the SAT NAV will try to tempt you off to the left down various narrow roads before you get to this T junction – do not be tempted. Do not take any further turnings, just follow the road. Carry on through the bottom end of Lorton and down the valley for about 2 miles. New House Farm is on the left-hand side with a Cumberland or a St George flag flying (depending on how I am feeling). There is a big sign for New House Farm, a large barn, an off-white house edge in black and probably horses or sheep in the field. By train The nearest Railway Station is Penrith and the journey by car from there takes between 30 and 40 minutes
