A cottage of your own for the wedding weekend
Town Head Estate is a wedding venue on the south-eastern shore of Windermere, at Newby Bridge, with its own guest accommodation on site. Not everyone in the wedding party can fit in there, and plenty of families would rather have a place of their own to come back to. If that sounds like you, Pinewood Cottage is private accommodation near Town Head Estate, about a 10-minute drive away and owned by us, separate from the venue.
Guests who have stayed with us for a family wedding nearby have told us the kitchen became the hub of the weekend. It has a big table that seats six, a proper oven and hob and a dishwasher, so you can have breakfast together before the day begins and a cup of tea when it has finished.
Room for six, and a proper kitchen
This is self-catering accommodation near Town Head Estate, so you have the whole cottage to yourselves. It sleeps six in three bedrooms (two doubles and a king) and has one bathroom with a bath and an overhead shower. There is a lounge with a wood burner, full fibre wifi, and a washing machine, which is handy for a wet-weather wedding or a muddy walk the day after.
We leave a welcome pack for you on arrival, bed linen and towels are provided, and the wood and firelighters for the stove are included. A cot and highchair are available if you ask when you book.
A double garage takes bikes, boots, paddle boards and kayaks, and there are three parking spaces on the drive, so a couple of cars from the same party are fine. If you are travelling with an electric car, we have a 7 kW VoltShare charger on the drive.
Choosing where to stay
The best accommodation near Town Head Estate depends on your party, so here is what we would look for. You will want enough beds for everyone who wants to stay together, a kitchen big enough to gather in, somewhere to park more than one car, and a bit of space to get ready and unwind away from the venue.
Pinewood Cottage ticks those boxes for a group of up to six, and our guests regularly tell us how comfortable the beds are and how well equipped the kitchen is. If your party is bigger than six, ask us about dates and we will help where we can.
Getting to and from the estate
Town Head Estate (postcode LA12 8NP) is on the other side of the water at Newby Bridge, and the cottage is on the quieter south-west shore, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the village. It is about a 10-minute drive from door to door, so book a taxi or arrange a designated driver for the evening.
Our location page has directions and the sat nav postcode for the cottage, which is LA12 8AX. Check-in is from 4pm and check-out is by 10am.
Bringing children, teenagers and dogs
We think of this as family-friendly accommodation near Town Head Estate, and our guests agree. The spa passes for the Swan Hotel cover all six of you, children can swim during the day, and from 7pm the pool is adults only, which suits a quiet evening before or after the wedding. The spa page explains how the passes work.
There are walks from the door, and about 0.6 miles (1 km), a 12 to 15 minute walk along the lane is Lakeside pier, where the cruises and the steam railway start. See things to do for ideas for the morning after, and the family guide if you are bringing little ones.
Dogs are welcome too, up to two at £20 per dog per stay, and the dog-friendly guide covers the rules and the walks.
Booking
Our minimum stay is three nights and you can arrive on any day. Popular summer weekends do book up, so it is worth checking dates as soon as you know them.
You can see live availability and prices on the stay page, or contact Tony if you would like to talk it through.
