We had the most amazing wedding day at the Coniston Hotel Country Estate & Spa. The ceremony held in the Garnett room was beautiful and the setting definitely made it so special and romantic. We were lucky to get some great photos on the jetty by the lake.

Our guests had a fantastic time with …

A beautiful and well organised day. The staff were very polite and helpful, on reception and around the hotel. I didn’t personally get the opportunity to meet the owner of the establishment, but he arranged for free transfer to the lake for photos and included a bottle of champagne. This was very …

much appreciated as the photographer only had a small car. The views are amazing for photos and we got some amazing ones! The waiters during the wedding breakfast were lovely and made sure we were well looked after. It was fantastic to have full use of Winstons barn all day, especially as it was a small group. Great value for money all round and we enjoyed the activities included in our package. The only downside was a 10:30am start at the spa the following day. In hindsight we should have asked to alter this, but we missed the first few hours due to packing up and checking out. It took longer than anticipated. Other than that, a very enjoyable and memorable time.

Wow, Where do we start……

We would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Coniston Hotel for making our Wedding Day so so special.

After rearranging our big day three times due to COVID, we couldn’t wait to get married on 19/09/21.
Every little detail was taken care of, and we …

were looked after every step of the way.

A big thank you to Fred for being there on our menu tasting evening. You were great.

A big thank you to Sharon for helping coordinate the run-up to the big day and also to Emily, who was our wedding coordinator on the day who made our special day come true. Everything was just perfect from start to finish.

Thank you so much.
Love,
Laura-Jane and Johnathan Harker

Matthew and I would like to say a BIG thank you to the Coniston hotel and all the staff that made our day so perfect!
We had looked at a few venues before deciding on the Coniston, and it was the best decision we’ve ever made! As well as falling in love with the venue, we both felt that’s the …

coordinators really cared, something which they certainly showcased on the day.
From enquiry, to booking, and throughout planning, the wedding team were always super quick and helpful with answering our questions (even just general wedding queries...I had plenty!).
I had no worries that the team would look after everything on the day. As soon as I handed over the decorations the day before the wedding they looked after everything. They set up the room exactly how I’d imagined and they made sure everyone was in the right place as the right time.
So many guests commented on how good the food was, and many said it’s the best meal they have ever had at a wedding.
The evening team were also amazing! Dave really made sure we were looked after and that we had both had a drink in our hand!
Everyone says that on your day little stuff will go wrong and that’s ok, but I can genuinely say that it was perfect, which truly is testament to the Coniston hotel wedding team.

Special mention to Sharon, Sophie Baker, Sophie Cokell, and Dave.
