Newby Bridge Hotel hosts conferences for up to 100 delegates, residential training days and weddings of every size, with 46 bedrooms for teams and guests who stay. The hotel stands at Newby Bridge, near Ulverston in Cumbria, looking over the southern tip of Lake Windermere in the Lake District.
Seminars and company events
The hotel sells three meeting formats. The daily delegate rate covers the room, tea, coffee and pastries on arrival, mid-morning refreshments, a hot buffet lunch and an afternoon break with cakes. The second option adds bed and breakfast in a double room for single use. The 24-hour delegate rate goes further, with a three-course dinner and overnight stay, which suits a two-day workshop or an away day that runs into the evening. A projector, screen, flip chart and pens are included in the hire of every room, so there is no separate equipment bill to plan for.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel offers a complete wedding service and takes both large weddings and small gatherings. The lake setting and the bedrooms on site mean the couple and their guests can stay for the weekend. Details on ceremony options and capacities are given by the wedding team on request.
Rooms and capacities
The Garden Room is the largest space, taking 20 to 100 delegates depending on the layout. The Oak Room is the most booked room and suits 2 to 30 people, from a board meeting to a small training session. The Lounge, with views toward the lake, is an informal space for breakouts, interviews or sessions where comfort matters more than a formal setup.
Accommodation
The hotel has 46 en-suite bedrooms, 11 of them superior rooms. Courtyard rooms work for families or shared stays, and a separate building called the Rotunda is set up for two. In the grounds, Woodland Hot Tub Cabins sleep two adults and up to two children, with a two-night minimum.
Catering
Meals are prepared in-house. The Garden View Restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, and The Huntsman's Bar covers drinks and informal meals. Delegate packages include a hot buffet lunch, and the 24-hour package adds a three-course evening meal. In December the hotel runs festive entertainment, which companies can book for a Christmas party.
