Weddings in the Lake District - What our wedding couples say

We have just got married here and we can easily say that the staff have been absolutely fantastic and a complete asset to you and your hotel! Everything went without a hitch and they were so accomodating to everything we asked. A special thank you to Sarah for organising the detail and Andy for being a great host! - February 2012

On the 17th February 2012, myself and my wife had the greatest pleasure, by holding our wedding at Linthwaite House. The whole experience will live in our lives forever.

We would like to thank you for all the effort you put in to make our wedding day, and stay so special. I'm sure every couple says this but we truly mean it. The proffesionalism of the entire team, both front and back of house was noted and very much appreciated. We were aware of just how hard everyone must have been working to make the day flow so seemlessly. Many of our guests commented on just how wonderful the hotel was. Along with many of them, we look forward to our next stay at Linthwaite already. Heartfelt thanks. - February 2011

Just a short note to thank all the staff at Linthwaite for making our wedding in July so special.  From our initial meeting with Kate over a year ago we had a really good feeling about the hotel and we were not disappointed.  The staff were courteous, helpful and discreet from the moment we arrived and handled everything beautifully, making the day extremely relaxed and stress free!  The hotel is beautifully decorated in a very unfussy way, has amazing food and a wonderful setting, topped by fabulous staff - what more could you ask for?!  We has lots of lovely comments from family and friends and just wanted to pass on what a truely positive experience the whole thing has been.  Thank you for everything! - July 2010

To all the staff at The Linthwaite - Thank you so much for making our wedding weekend so special. It was more perfect than we could ever have imagined. We were given a wedding book at the end of the weekend which all our friends and family had written in and everyone commented on how fantastic the hotel, staff and food was over the whole stay. You even sorted the weather out for us! We'll certainly be back for our anniversaries in the future. With many thanks again and best wishes - May 2010

Thank you so much, we feel really lucky to have had such excellent and friendly support from you along the way - May 2010

Kate, it has been a real pleasure organising this with you. Thanks you so much for your positivity, efficiency and kindness! - May 2010

Kate, thank you so much for all your hard work in sorting out our wedding at Linthwaite. You've made planning the wedding an enjoyable part of the whole build up to the big day, rather than the stressful encounter so many other people seem to experience. Its been a pleasure to work with you. - May 2010

Kate, its just a quick note to express our thanks for what was a fantastic couple of days we had in the Lakes. We cannot fault the hotel or service at all, in any way shape or form. You and the staff really did make our day very very special and the planning and execution was just perfect. A massive thank you must go to you for all your hard work and planning that really was the key to such a successful and stress free day and also to Sarah who looked after us and our guests brilliantly during the day, we simply couldn’t of hope or wished for any thing more. - May 2010

We'd just like to say a very big thank you to you and all the staff for our wonderful wedding day. We had an amazing day that we will remember and cherish forever. Everything from the initial enquiry with Kate, right through the day itself to the moment we left was perfect, and all of the staff are a great credit to the hotel.  The Loft Suite was such a fabulous room to get ready in for the wedding - beautiful decoration, light and airy and most importantly, plently of room for myself, bridesmaids, mum, photographers, make-up and hair ladies ....! So many of our guests commented on how beautiful the view and the hotel's setting is and also what a lovely atmosphere there was at Linthwaite. It really did feel like our home from home for the two days we were staying. The food was also exquisite during our whole stay. The evening meal the night before the wedding was beautiful and the wedding breakfast itself was amazing too. Again many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food and how tasty it was. One of our guests said it was the best meal he'd ever had anywhere! Please will you pass on our thanks to Richard Kearsley and his team. Kate Thomas is worth her weight in gold! She was so organised and helpful, right from the initial enquiry and all through the planning process. She also provided lots of suggestions and it was great to have her there to bounce ideas off or just to confirm things with. You'd have thought she didn't have any other clients because her service was always so personal. I know I couldn't have done it all without her! Please pass on our thanks to Craig Routledge who did a fabulous job of co-ordinating our day. He was always there to make sure things ran smoothly, and did a great job of rounding up various stray members of our families for the important moments like cutting the cake. He was discreet but also made us feel very reassured and we didn't have to worry about anything during the whole day. We also appreciated how accommodating the hotel was with us making the day our own. All the little details combined to really tailor the day to suit us. Many venues don't allow this, so it just confirms for us that we made the right choice in selecting Linthwaite for our special day. It would be easy to take for granted how smoothly and to plan the wedding day ran - we very much appreciate all the efforts of Kate, Craig and all the staff who played a part in our day, for making it so perfect and so memorable. Thanks again and we look forward to returning soon. - April 2010

Kate, I would like to thank all the staff at The Linthwaite for a wonderful, pleasant stay for our wedding. The service and food was excellent. Once again, thank you all for making our day so special - April 2010

Kate, thank you so much for all your help and advice with organising our wedding! I couldn't have done it without your help!  Anybody who's organising a wedding should have a Kate. Thank you so much for everything. - April 2010

My wife and I thought it important to say a big thank you, to you and all the staff at Linthwaite House Hotel, for all the hard work and superb service that you gave to us and the wedding guests on our daughters wedding day. We cannot praise enough the quality of the food and service on the Tuesday evening and for the wedding breakfast meal on the Wednesday. We cannot praise highly enough your reception and house keeping staff for being so helpful when the guests arrived, and during the two day stay. We received nothing but glowing comments from our guests, and you have certainly made an impression.  So please pass on our thanks and best wishes to Andy your General Manager, Jayne and Craig your Managers, Richard your Head Chef and all the staff.  Please pass on our thanks to Kate also for all her help and advise in planning this day over the past 6 months. It was certainly a memorable time for us and the new room was superb - March 2010

 

Kate, we just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help in planning our wedding. It was even better than we could imagine. Thanks for making sure we were all organised! - March 2010

Our daughter and son in law's wedding was a wonderfully happy occasion. The staff from the moment we arrived until we departed were very attentive and professional. Of course the food was fabulous together with its presentation and service.  All our guests were so happy and relaxed that in fact they didn't want to leave. So thank you so much for all your plans and efforts in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding as it all paid off! - March 2010

I am just sat at work and had a rush of memories from our wedding at your perfect venue. We had the best day and your wonderful organisation skills still leave me speechless most of the time!  We now have our wedding photos and they are beautiful to see and remind us of all the wonderful memories we had up there.  I will always think so fondly of you and the rest of the hotel staff for making my day perfect and for making all my dreams come true! - February 2010

Kate, I just wanted to put it into words how grateful we were for all your suport and advice for our perfect wedding. Your attention to detail and all your suggestions were spot on!  On the day Linthwaite was magical and all the staff were very helpful and could not do enough for us. Thank you again for everything - December 2009

We were married at the hotel in December and I really don’t know where to start with this letter of thanks. I have been a flight attendant for 11 years and have been fortunate to travel the world and stay in amazing hotels and because of this, I feel qualified to be able to comment on hotel standards. The Linthwaite blew me away fro so many reasons. The breathtaking scenery is always a plus point of course but the hotel itself is a delight. I just love the tasteful décor and the new bar area is stylish and calming and reminds me of an upmarket New York cocktail lounge. I stayed at the Linthwaite earlier in the year and enjoyed the calming colour schemes in the bedroom and the relaxing atmosphere in the lounge area during the evening. One of my favourite experiences of the Linthwaite is the restaurant. Your head chef is a credit to you; his food is exquisite and beautifully presented, in my opinion as good as any Michelin star restaurant in London. Our wedding breakfast menu was absolutely perfect and we had so many compliments from our extremely impressed guests. The thing that impressed me the most is the staff, the restaurant staff were all fantastic, so friendly and welcoming and the really couldn’t do enough to help us and our guests. The same is to be said of the reception team, so helpful and friendly, they really are amazing. Jane is the duty manager I have dealt with most during my wedding planning and the actual wedding day. When it came to the day of my wedding, I already felt Jane was a family friend as I had built up a real rapport with her during the months leading up to it. She has such a warm personality and she really cares about making people feel comfortable and happy, nothing was too much trouble for her and her calmness made me feel relaxed and at ease which was so important. My biggest thanks goes to Kate who has been an absolute pleasure to work with and who made our wedding day the most special and amazing day of our lives. We planned the day together over a period of 18 months and Kate made me feel like I was the only person ever to have had a wedding at the Linthwaite. Her organisation skills are totally unbelievable; she made everything easy for us and made something that is notoriously stressful into something that was actually really fun. I am really going to miss our regular email exchanges because she is such a lovely person and we have grown very fond of her. She is amazing and an absolute credit to the Linthwaite team. I really can’t than you enough for the wonderful experiences we have had. The Linthwaite will always be somewhere dear to us and we will be regular guest over the coming years and we will especially look forward to returning for our first anniversary next year. - December 2009

To Kate, Mary, Andy and the rest of the team, we wanted to write to say a massive ‘thank you’ for everything – from first visiting Linthwaite this time last year we had a great feeling and you didn’t disappoint! From beginning to end everything was taken care of: Kate made the planning so easy and covered every detail, an absolute star. Mary and Andy ran the day like a dream, so efficient and nothing to much trouble. The food and service were simply fantastic, without doubt the best wedding breakfast we’ve eaten (and not juts because it was our wedding!) Feedback from our guests is the real best though and a credit to ALL the team, both front and back; everyone was thoroughly blown away by the whole ‘Linthwaite experience’ and came away with a lovely warm glow…. What more could we ask?! Its fair to say neither of us can recommend Linthwaite highly enough, it will always be a special place for us and we can’t wait to come back and visit again! - December 2009

A million ‘thank yous’ wouldn’t be enough! – December 2009

Once we were at the hotel we just sat back and enjoyed it all!! Take care Kate, the best wedding co-ordinator anyone could wise for – November 2009

Thank you so much for all your hard work which made our wedding ‘Perfect’ – July 2009

Thank you for all your help with the wedding!! – July 2009

We wanted to send this letter of thanks to you and all the staff at Linthwaite House Hotel for creating a truly perfect wedding day for us. We cannot thank every member of staff enough for their efforts throughout the whole of our wedding day. Our expectations were completely surpassed in every way by the sheer dedication and commitment of the staff to ensure that every single one of our guests enjoyed an absolutely wonderful day. During the planning of the wedding, Kate has been unbelievably supportive. Every little detail of the wedding plan was adhered to and Kate consistently went above and beyond the call of duty to help us in any way she could and most definitely added to our special day. Our highest regards must also be extended to Richard, the chef, as the food was absolutely exceptional. From the canapés, to the wedding breakfast and the buffet, right through to breakfast the following day, the quality was unwavering of the highest quality. One of our guests commented that it was "one of the best meals he had ever eaten". Considering that he used to work in the industry, this is a huge compliment. Our special thanks must also be extended to the managers on the day; Jayne, Mary and Sarah. Their wealth of skill and knowledge all lead to the day running smoothly without a single glitch. We would also like to thank every single member of staff from the front of house team, the kitchen staff and housekeeping. We wish we knew all of their names to thank them personally as they all deserve a personal mention. You will be delighted to hear that the comments from our guests have been nothing but excellent regarding all aspects of both the venue and the staff. Many of our guests travelled from various parts of the country and have since said that when they return to the Lake District that they would love to revisit Linthwaite House Hotel. Personally we cannot wait to visit everybody again as obviously Linthwaite House will always be a special place for us. With the dedication and help of your team, the day was more than perfect and for that we will be forever grateful. We very much look forward to seeing you all again soon! - July 2009
