Abbey House Hotel & Gardens, a privately owned hotel and wedding venue on the outskirts of Barrow in Furness, set in 14 acres of magical woodland and manicured gardens that combines listed grandeur with down-to-earth warmth and intimate charm

A unique Grade 2 listed building with three function rooms able to accommodate intimate elopement weddings through to larger celebrations which can include exclusive use of the whole hotel for the couple and their guests. 

Our experienced and passionate wedding team have been in their positions for many years and have been by the side of hundreds of couples over the years.  From the initial meeting, they will help you plan and guide you through to your dream day.  Their professionalism, creativity and calm expertise have made them a driving force behind Abbey House’s reputation and often personally named in glowing reviews from past couples.

Our grounds and the addition of our stunning wedding garden offer couples even more choice when it comes to spring and summer weddings giving the option of either a woodland or garden ceremony under the skies.

The grand entrance and façade are the perfect backdrop for spectacular photographs as are the grounds and our neighbour, the English Heritage site, Furness Abbey.

Guest accommodation is high on the wish list for couples planning their perfect day and Abbey House boasts 59 beautifully appointed bedrooms, including three luxury honeymoon suites, offering the ultimate indulgence. Each suite blends contemporary comfort with heritage touches and are the perfect retreat for newlyweds at the end of their big day.

Abbey House isn’t just a venue - it’s a labour of love. Privately owned by the same family for four decades, the hotel has just celebrated its 40th anniversary - a milestone which reflects years of dedication, investment and passion.  By constantly reinvesting, we can keep Abbey House at the forefront of wedding excellence.
