About

Gilpin Lake House is a country estate in the Lake District surrounded by stunning scenery featuring breath-taking lakes, an undulating landscape and thick groves of woodland and forests. If you're looking for a wedding venue that feels a million miles away, Gilpin Lake House will no doubt provide the escapism you're dreaming of.

This idyllic spot offers 100 acres of sprawling countryside, and six luxurious bedrooms can be all yours, with exclusive hire option for at least two nights, or more if you wish. Access to the site’s facilities are all part of the package, allowing you and your guests to test out the hot tubs and swimming pool with 360 views of the lake. You can even book yourself in for a treatment such as a relaxing massage, thanks to the woodland-based spa, which also has a sauna and salt scrub.

When you first arrive, the events team will ensure that you're taken care of and can arrange an afternoon tea and evening meal for you and your guests, chosen from the buffet menu. On your big day, enjoy breakfast with your wedding party before holding your ceremony in the Lake House or outside with gorgeous views.

Gilpin offers a four-course wedding breakfast with a capacity of up to 60 people made by Michelin-trained chefs, so your guests are sure to be well fed. There are lots of beautiful spots to take wedding photos such as on a romantic rowing boat out on the lake, or simply use the natural beauty all around as your backdrop. If you'd prefer a more intimate celebration, Gilpin also offers a carefully curated wedding day for just two to six people, in a smaller area with a special supper for just your nearest and dearest.

After the party is over, put your feet up in one of the luxurious, contemporary bedrooms which showcase calming, natural-inspired interiors, lovely bathtubs, lake views and some with private patios, too.

Testimonials for Gilpin Lake House

Hard to put into wordsJULY, 2025

Firstly, I do not know where to begin when writing this review because it is hard to put into words. We have just returned from our wedding at this stunning Lake District wedding venue, where we had three days of exclusive use of the Lake House and then a night in a Spa Lodge, and we are gutted to be back to reality. Since booking, the Lake House Manager has gone above and beyond to ensure our entire stay and wedding was perfect. Additionally, I have never met a manager and team more dedicated, kind, and happy to work as the staff at the Gilpin—both in the Lake House and at the main Hotel. Moreover, the wedding breakfast was superb, and the Michelin star restaurant was phenomenal. We feel genuinely spoilt to have been able to have the experience we have had. Furthermore, this is not just a business, hotel, or restaurant... it is a place where memories are made that last a lifetime. Ultimately, we are already planning our trip back because of the excitement of visiting this magical Lake District wedding venue and seeing the staff, whom we now class as friends.
