wedding coordinators, Rachel, Katie and Rebecca, were so helpful and answered all our queries over the 12 months. They kept in touch throughout the process and nothing was too much trouble.
On our wedding day, the sun shone and everything went to plan. Our guests really enjoyed the day and can’t stop talking about it. If we could have the opportunity, we would do it all again! We would recommend this venue to any couples planning their wedding because you will not be disappointed. Thank you again for making the best day of our lives so special xx

it was all perfect!

I would like to say a special thank you for all the effort that was put into our pre-wedding meal, nothing was too much trouble and the little details of the menus were so lovely and thoughtful. Everybody had a great time and the room was perfect for all the little ones to play together.

The wedding day could not have gone any better, not a thing went wrong. Everything was absolutely perfect from the moment we both woke up. The day was certainly one to remember. We have had so many compliments on the venue, the food and the staff, some have even said it was the best wedding they have ever been to!!

Mitch - what a guy! He was absolutely fabulous. What a credit to The Coniston he is!

Thanks again, we could not have had such a perfect day without you guys and we are gutted it's all over! We will definitely be back soon to use the spa and have a night away.

were attentive, professional, and incredibly organized, making us feel completely taken care of every step of the way.

The service on our wedding day was impeccable. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring that all of our needs were met with a smile. It was evident that they genuinely cared about making our day as special as possible.

The food was another highlight – simply amazing! Every dish served was delicious, beautifully presented, and met all our expectations. Our guests still rave about the meal, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

We also want to give a massive shout-out to the waiting service team. Their professionalism and attention to detail didn't go unnoticed. They went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and satisfied throughout the night.

We felt safe and in competent hands from our very first visit to the day of our wedding. The serene environment and the spectacular setup contributed immensely to the success of our day. Choosing Coniston Country and Health Spa as our venue was the best decision we made, and we highly recommend them to any couple looking for a wedding venue that offers both beauty and exceptional service.

Thank you so much to the entire staff at Coniston for making our wedding day an unforgettable experience. We couldn't have asked for a better place to start our lives together. It was truly a dream come true!

bother! On the day, they were spot on, from creating the perfect decoration set up to checking up throughout the day to make sure everything was as we wanted.

The reception team were so friendly and the staff during the wedding breakfast and evening reception we cannot fault. Any questions our guests had were resolved with no hassle at all and we have had nothing but glowing reviews from our guests.

Our wedding day was absolutely perfect, and everyone at The Coniston helped create this. We are beyond grateful.

only 10 of us, and our vision of a relaxed, fun day with our loved ones, was absolutely executed thanks to the staff.

The food was excellent and the atmosphere was brilliant. The visibility of management was a great plus. More hotels and venues should adopt this approach.

Big shout out to Rebecca, who from our first visit and working on our wedding day, was friendly, and professional and listened to our requests.

Thank you for a special, fun day full of love.

really struggled to find a venue that could do this to a high standard. The Coniston made all our wishes (and more) come true, and our day went above and beyond our expectations. A huge thanks to Rachel, Rebecca, Thomas and Ben who made our vision a reality.

Thomas designed the most incredible seven-course menu that left our guests (and ourselves) in total awe of his talent. Thank you so much for everything.

On the day the team just made everything happen, nothing was too much trouble and everything was 5-star. Seeing your vision come to life is so special and we can't thank the team enough for everything they did.

Every single member of staff at the Coniston is amazing. All of our guests commented on the incredible hospitality they received and the friendliness of everyone.

We feel so lucky to have found such a special place that we can revisit, time and time again.

spa get away and it truly exceed our expectations on our wedding day!

Rachel is a fabulous addition to the wedding team! Having met Rachel in the month before our wedding we felt instantly assured by her confidence, patience and responsive communication. Making sure each detail of our day was considered and working closely with our suppliers. Rachel was great on the day too, coordinating everything and making the event as stress free as possible for us.

The food on the day was fantastic!! We had our menu tasting a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed that experience, but you always have the concern as to whether the food will be the same standard on mass…and I can safely say it is! We’ve had so many compliments from guests (especially on the beef) about how good the food was. The presentation when catering for nearly 80 guests was impressive. Compliments to the chefs!

The Coniston makes an ideal wedding venue with being able to stay the night before the wedding and get ready in the morning from the comfort of your room. The bridal suit has a glorious view over the lake and plenty of space for the whole bridal party to get ready. My only comment here would be to make it look like the Dales Room and it would be phenomenal!

Overall the staff really make this hotel! Each member of staff is so friendly, welcoming and professional, from the bar staff during the evening do, to room service on the morning of the wedding, everyone made our day special. We even had an unexpected additional guest ‘an OAP Labrador’ who was so accommodated by the staff and welcomed into the wedding breakfast in his little basket! This meant so much to his owners and to us for making our day so stress-free. I would highly recommend holding your wedding at the Coniston, you won’t regret it!

many commenting on how much they had enjoyed staying at the hotel. It definitely has a cosy and relaxing feel perfect for a winter wedding.

Special thanks goes to the wedding team and all the staff at the Coniston Hotel they truly have fantastic customer service skills and work hard to ensure your day is truly magical.

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.

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

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.

taken care of by the wedding events team.
A personal thank you to Sharon who coordinated our day. Sharon thank you so much your professionalism. Your fantastic personality really did shine through and our day went without a hitch. You made us both feel so relaxed knowing that everything was in your capable hands. Thank you so much!
The food was absolutely fantastic! The canapés, the starter, main and the dessert WOW! Chocolate brownie was a massive hit with everyone! Our guests all gave us great compliments about all of the food.
The Coniston Hotel is such a gorgeous setting and we are so pleased we chose here to start our life together and celebrate with our family and friends. The views were such a hit with all of our guests and with us! It is simply stunning inside and out.
Thank you Coniston for making our day so perfect and making our dreams a reality!
We will remember our special day for the rest of our lives together and we will definitely be visiting whenever we can!
We would recommend The Coniston Hotel without any doubt at all!
With Love

21st July 2017 with the help of Sharon, who was excellent throughout the booking process and was totally transparent about all the pricing.
From the moment we booked, all the wedding coordinators were readily available and extremely quick in responding to all our questions/queries via email and phone. After a few months we found out that our designated wedding coordinator would be Sophie Baker - we cannot praise and thank Sophie enough. We felt that she constantly went above and beyond her role, accommodating all our requests and often making herself available at short notice to meet with us. She constantly put us at ease and calmed our nerves on the run-up to the big day. She was particularly attentive to the finer details - such as the 'finishing touches' and decorations on the day that made it a truly special and personalised experience. Nothing ever seemed like too much trouble and she was always calm and reassuring, even when we were unloading our cars full of table decorations, bunting (180 metres!), signs, table plans and large pieces of wood in varying sizes! She also assembled out wedding cake, and did a beautiful job.
Clearly there was a lot of work done behind the scenes to make our wedding day run as smoothly as it did, we would love to thank everyone personally but there are probably too many people to mention. A special thank you also has to go to the member of staff who looked after us during our evening celebrations (we can't remember his name, that's probably his fault though for constantly bringing us free drinks!).
All our guests seemed to enjoy the day as much as we did, and were constantly praising the venue and how beautiful it was.

able to relax and enjoy the day. The way you looked after not only us but our dog Buster who was a big part of our day was second to none. We have received some brilliant feedback about the wedding and the venue with some guests already rebooking for a weekend. We are looking forward to coming back for the weekend soon!

much to ask and from using a big yellow tractor as our wedding transport to walking our dogs down the aisle as ring bearers there was nothing that the team wouldn't make possible for us! The team worked above and beyond to create the wedding we truly only imagined we would have and honestly made our day a perfect one. The other hotel staff are always welcoming and again cannot seem to do enough for you and it is truly highly recommended. We cannot thank you enough for making our day so special. We wouldn't change a thing about it and it will be a day we will truly never forget. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you all soon.

venue. There must have been alot of visits to the venue but every visit we fell in love with it even more, the staff are just soo nice and helpful. We must have messaged Sharon and Sophie like loads but every time she was so helpful. I was so stressful as how we would do everything but Sharon took all that stress off us the day before the wedding and on the wedding day she made sure everything was perfect. Our wedding day was the perfect day it was everything we asked for. The food was superb the service was faultless the guests couldn't stop talking about how exceptional coniston was and how amazing the wedding was. We can't thank you enough for everything you did for us if we could do it all again we would defiantly do it at the coniston hotel.

Winstons Barn where our ceremony was held.
From our initial meet-up with Sharon right through to our wedding day we were in regular contact with the venues wedding coordinators and always received prompt replies no matter how big or small the query. The whole process from start to finish was completely stress free thanks to their reassurance and guidance.
The wedding day itself couldn't have ran any smoother and we really didn't need to worry about a thing (and I'm a worrier!) as everything was organised and kept under control by the wedding coordinators.
The Bannister Suite and conservatory were decorated perfectly right down to the last detail and we received so many compliments throughout the day from guests on how lovely the venue was. The hotel itself is gorgeous and extremely spacious avoiding the feeling of being trapped inside on the torrential day that it was. It really did work perfectly. The food was also absolutely amazing and of very high quality.
All of the wedding coordinators that we were in contact with in the lead up to our wedding day were fantastic but especially Sharon who saw us through from start to finish, we really can't thank you enough for making our wedding day so special. I highly recommend The Coniston Hotel, we want to do it all again!

Thank you so much

looked back! The hotel has the most beautiful setting and surroundings, with a first class team of staff. This combination was an absolute winner.
During the months of preparation nothing was to much trouble. Both Sharon and Sophie were so friendly, professional and more than accommodating.
On the 'big day' everything was perfect, we had the most incredible wedding day and for this we extend sincere thanks to Sharon and the entire team. We were made to feel a million dollars, and isn't this what every bride and groom dreams of?
We are so glad we chose The Coniston Hotel and have received so many compliments on our lovely celebration.
So, thank you once again and keep doing what you do so very well.
We shall visit often.
Much love and appreciation from The New Mr and Mrs Rothery – February 2017 xx
