Review Cote How Country Guest House - Ambleside

Kayleigh Foulkes
Well where do we start. Our elopement at Cote How could not have been more perfect. We feel as if we are now part of a very special family and we honestly would encourage any couple thinking about an elopement/ small wedding to consider cote how. The house, barn and surrounding ground are just breathtaking and allow your photographer to capture some really beautiful photographs. Caroline and Rachel helped us plan our elopment in just over a month, as we opted for a short notice elopement due to the perfect date being available. Caroline helped us book the registrars to ensure we could go ahead with this date, as there was some uncertainty at the beginning, but thankfully she made it happen. Rachel showed us round the beautiful house/grounds a few weeks before the big day and helped us decide how the day would run. They helped us sort out the flowers and also gave advice on how we could announce our marriage to family / friends. It was so important to us to include our daughter in our day (she had not long turned one), Caroline and Rachel could not have been more accommodating about this if they tried. They ensured that all aspects of the day were tailored to her being involved. They were also so amazing with her on the day. I don't think we will ever be able to thank them both enough for what they did for us. Cote how is such a special and magical place and now holds so many wonderful memories for us as a family.

We recently eloped to Cote How and it was better than we could have wished for! We can’t thank the team at Cote How enough for making the planning stages a smooth journey and the most beautiful and relaxed day. Thank you so much Caroline and Rachel for making our day so memorable. 100% recommend to anyone who’s thinking of eloping to the Lake District, this is certainly the place! The walk up to the cave is also an absolute must for those who love adventure! Such a stunning place!

We recently got married at Cote How with immediate family in attendance, both of us wanted a small ceremony and we fell in love with the venue and location immediately. When asked by friends if we were stressed in the lead up to the wedding, the answer was no as Caroline and the team ensured everything was a smooth process from start to finish. Our day was perfect (even more so as the rain took a day off allowing us to get married outside) and the atmosphere on the day was relaxed which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you for making our day so special.

We had an elopement wedding at Cote How on June 14th and were absolutely blown away by how special our day was. It was always going to be Cote How for us due to the stunning location and professional but friendly team. Caroline was amazing and so supportive, the communication was excellent right from making the initial enquiry and even up to the night before our wedding, she made the whole process so easy and stress free. Being an elopement and 'just the two of us' we were worried it might feel a little awkward, we couldn't have been more wrong. Everything was relaxed, romantic and beautiful but above everything else we had fun and laughter (and a few happy tears) A massive thank you to Caroline, Rachel and all the team involved in our special day and a special thank you to our Photographer Tiree Dawson for capturing every single amazing moment. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts 🥰

Me and Helen got married at Cote How in May 2023. Thank you so much Caroline for giving us the most perfect elopement wedding we could have asked for. From the start Caroline was so friendly and helpful with recommendations for places to eat, things to do and where to stay during our mini break in the lakes. We will never forget Cote How for as long as we live, it is almost fairy tale like how beautiful it stands and with the backdrop of the hills and lakes. We wanted an elopement wedding as it suited us both and it more than lived up to what we were hoping. It was a perfect day. Thanks again, Love Alec and Helen xxx

Thank you so much everyone at Cote How for a perfect day, I was worried the rain would ruin it but Caroline made it all flow seamlessly and ensured we could have the ceremony outside the barn which we had set our hearts on! You feel at home from the second you walk in and what a beautiful place to walk in ! Everything is perfect and immaculate inside and out! It was a really special day for us and thank you so much for accommodating us at short notice. The icing on the cake was the beautiful candle gift which smells just like Cote How, what a beautiful touch that is. I would recommend Cote How to absolutely everyone, all our love, Danielle and Peter xX

We had been looking for a small wedding venue for a while and couldn’t believe our luck when we came across Cote How. It offered everything we wanted in a location which was so special to my husband, Jon. He had grown up holidaying in Grasmere with his parents and grandparents and to be so close by, it felt perfect. The setting is incredible, the lake, rolling hills in the background, native trees and flowers - everything that the Lake District is known for and Cote How has it all to offer. We can’t thank Caroline, Steve and Rachel enough for making our day so relaxed and special. Nothing was too much trouble - Jon and I, as well as all of our guests, felt very welcome and cared for. We made so many special memories at Cote How that will last a lifetime and couldn’t recommend it highly enough for those looking for a small wedding venue and intimate marriage ceremony.

We recently had our secret elopement wedding at Cote How and Caroline and Steve couldn't have done enough for us to make the day as special and memorable as we had hoped - they most definitely succeeded! We had a few of our own additional challenges to face for one reason or another and nothing was too much trouble. As hosts they were the epitome of perfect and coupled with the absolutely stunning location of Cote How and Rydal water nothing was left wanting. Our day was amazing and one that after 17 years of being together already will surpass all others and we can't thank or praise them enough - I would like to use the thesaurus for alternatives to perfect and amazing just to make sure that anyone reading this review truly understands how special our wedding was but to put it succinctly, thanks to Caroline, Steve, Cote How and of course Tiree Dawson our photographer there is nothing on earth that will surpass the memory that we have been given. Thank you so much! xx

Cote How was the perfect place for us to run away and elope to. We had the most wonderful time there! Caroline, and the team were fantastic. Not only did they guide us through what we needed to do when planning our wedding, but they were extremely helpful when we needed help; Caroline was really helpful during the early days when we were having issues booking our registrar. No question was too small, and they were all answered with the same enthusiasm. Not once did we feel overwhelmed and stressed when planning with Cote How. The venue itself is gorgeous! The view around cote how is so beautiful and the building itself has such a cosy and elegant charm to it. The pictures don’t do it justice. We were lucky enough to have our ceremony outside the barn and the décor we had for our elopement made it feel like such an intimate occasion. We loved the addition of hearing our own music playlist all around the venue before and after the ceremony, it made us feel more at home. Caroline and Steve were so calm and fun all throughout the ceremony which really put a nervous Bride and Groom at ease. We had so many laughs with everyone, especially during the windy confetti shots, that the afternoon didn’t feel alien to us, but felt like we were having a celebration with some friends. Thank you Caroline, Steve and Rachel. We cannot tell you just how perfect our wedding truly was.

We came across Cote How whilst looking for locations for elopement weddings in the Lake District. Cote How certainly delivered in every way. It is the most beautiful and stunning location for a wedding, close to Rydal Water and Rydal caves, both of which are a short walk away and lead to amazing photos and memories. We were supported throughout by Caroline and her team who helped us create our perfect wedding. Their attention to detail in the planning phase and on the day was exceptional. Caroline and her team ensured that the wedding was just the way we wanted it, whilst offering suggestions and advice along the way. The whole atmosphere of our wedding day was very relaxed, friendly and full of personal touches that surpassed our expectations. Getting married outside in a stunning location was our dream, coupled with a short walk in the hills for the most memorable photos. We cannot recommend Cote How, Caroline and her team and our photographer Tiree Dawson, enough. We have the most amazing memories of our special day. Ken and Alison
