1836 country house in seven acres above the Trout Beck, Troutbeck, near Windermere, Cumbria
Broadoaks Country House is a 20-bedroom house of 1836 in seven acres at Troutbeck, two miles from Windermere, taken for exclusive use with no sound limiter.
Broadoaks Country House was built in 1836 on the hillside above the Trout Beck at Troutbeck, a couple of miles out of Windermere. Seven acres of garden and woodland surround it, with a tiered fountain below the windows and the Lakeland fells closing the view. Its best-known room is the Music Room of 1905, which the house presents as designed with inspiration from William Morris, with a vaulted ceiling, oak panelling, a painted frieze and a grand piano in the leaded bay.
Weddings use the whole house as standard, so no other guests are booked in. Most couples marry at the white Victorian gazebo on the lawn, then move to the Orangery for a wedding breakfast of up to 120 and an evening for up to 150. Catering and the bar are the house's own teams, with a complimentary tasting, and there is no sound limiter, although music stops at midnight unless the paid extension to 1am is taken. Twenty individually styled bedrooms keep the party together. Windermere station is a five-minute taxi away.

Broadoaks was built in 1836 on the hillside above the Trout Beck at Troutbeck, a couple of miles out of Windermere. Ivy covers much of the stone front, a tiered fountain plays below the windows and seven acres of garden and woodland run toward the river with the Lakeland fells closing the view.
The Music Room was added in 1905 and is described by Broadoaks as designed with inspiration from William Morris. It has a vaulted ceiling, oak panelling, a painted frieze, shell niches beside the chimneypiece, a wood-burner in an oak overmantel and a grand piano in the leaded bay.
Most couples marry outdoors at the white Victorian gazebo, with the fells behind, then move to the Orangery for a wedding breakfast of up to 120 and an evening for up to 150. Catering and the bar are the house's own, and with no sound limiter the band can play at the volume it was hired for until midnight.
Twenty individually styled bedrooms mean nobody has to drive back down the valley. They range from Walnut with its slipper bath to the honeymoon Retreat.

Yes, indoors. Broadoaks appears on Westmorland and Furness Council's list of premises approved for civil ceremonies and civil partnerships. Registrar fees are paid separately to the register office.
Broadoaks says it is licensed for ceremonies inside and outside, and most couples marry at the white gazebo. The council list gives only the venue name, so the legal position for an open-air ceremony should be checked with the venue and the registrar before a date is fixed.
The Orangery seats 120 for a daytime wedding breakfast and holds 150 for the evening. A single overall capacity applies, with no separate figure for the ceremony, so ask for that figure directly.
