Well what can I say about the Blaithwaite Christmas party night?! Bloody brilliant! That's what! Kate and Mally were the perfect hosts, the hog roast was to die for and the entertainment.....outstanding! Would highly recommend!

The surroundings of the beautiful Blaithwaite estate only added to the festive feeling and the room I stayed in was gorgeous!

User

We've just spent a day doing team building followed by hosting a company awards ceremony and party. The entire team got a real buzz from the whole event. Suited us all perfectly. The daytime activities like laser tag and bushcraft were extremely fun and the whole team made the day relaxed, focussed and most of all encouraged us to have a laugh! It's an amazing spacious venue suited I'd say to any purpose. Perfect for corporate events and it would make a stunning location for a wedding/party also. Totally recommend it.

User

We played a wedding here last night and I have never been to such an amazing venue ! I can't stress how brilliant this place is , great set up for weddings and so much room outside for festivals etc ! The staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough to make everyone feel welcome . 10/10 !

User

We held a year 6 leavers party at Blaithwaite house today. What a fantastic place! We started off with 30 11 year olds playing lazer tag in the woods, followed by orienteering then toasting marshmallows round the fire pit and a bit of crazy golf! The guy was so accommodating and it was extremely well organised! Highly recommended

User

We brought our U12s football team for their end of season treat and presentation



We ALL loved the outdoor laser tag, was great fun and the boys enjoyed every minute of it



Can't wait to come back on Sunday with our U16s team

User

We attended a wedding on the 23rd Sept 2017 and the venue didn't disappoint. The room itself was lovely, think old barn / farm conversion with fairy lights. Lovely warm feel in lovely surroundings. Roast suckling pig was AMAZING and think I ate most of the crackling!!

User

Was there all last week and had an amazing time. My son who's 18 loved the woodland warriors activities. The Tepee I hired was fab too, could just do with an entrance canopy by the tepee to cook and sit under when the weather isn't so great. X xx

User

Truly the most perfect venue for our wedding. The grounds are beautiful and venue offers so much flexibility when it comes to planning your wedding which adds a very personal touch.



It was the summer house that sold it for us. We imagined getting married outside in the April sunshine and wished for dry weather in the weeks leading up to our wedding.



With the typical British weather it rained on the morning of our wedding and we weren't able to get married outside. We thought we'd be really upset but the day was still perfect and we wouldn't change any of it. The ceremony ended up being held in the drawing room and it was really intimate and created an amazing and emotional atmosphere for the perfect ceremony.



We'd like to thanks Malcolm, Kate, Sarah and all the staff at Blaithwaite for making our weekend the most amazing weekend ever!!

Truly magical!! We had our wedding at Blaithwaite House 29/12/16 and it was the most amazing venue for a wedding. Kate, Malcolm and her staff were very helpful, friendly and professional from start to finish. Nothing was ever any trouble. The first time we saw Blaithwaite House we fell in love with it. The barn is beautiful with the exposed beams and stunning chandeliers, which add so much character!! The house itself is perfect and offers a touch of elegance and class. The grounds are stunning with the enchanting summer house. What more could anyone want for their perfect wedding day! If you want a wedding that is very personal, flexible, creative and truly yours then look no further than the Beautiful Blaithwaite House.

User

This place is so idyllic! We had our wedding here back in June 2017 and we couldn’t of asked for more! Everything about it was perfect. The grounds, the staff and weather!! We Would definitely recommend this venue for a wedding, family occasion or just camping for the weekend! �

User

Our 5th time at Blaithwaite House. Always happy memories! We have to come back now as we started a tradition of taking our annual family photograph there. Absolutely love what they've done to the house, all very crisp and clean. Also loved the farm animals! Shame we have to wait another year or so to come back.

User

Once we had visited Blaithwaite House, we knew we couldn't get married anywhere else. An amazing mix of beautiful surroundings, but still a comfortable family home feeling. The emphasis is very much on what you want, and tailoring the whole day to your theme and ideas. We got married outside at the summerhouse, which was one of favourite parts of the extensive grounds, then had our reception in the barn.

Huge thank you to Kate and Malcolm and their team for all they did to ensure our perfect day went so smoothly. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, and wish we could do it all again!

My son and his 5 friends did outdoor laser tag yesterday for the full day. They absolutely loved it. Great customer service and very well organised. Highly recommend �

Clean facilities & a fridge & freezer area to store your food. Staff very friendly & helpful. Will return xx
