Crown Hotel Wetheral

About Crown Hotel, Wetheral

With origins as a farmhouse constructed in 1700, Crown Hotel Wetheral combines its historic character with a recent multi-million-pound refurbishment of its public areas and bedrooms. The hotel is located in the village of Wetheral, four miles from Carlisle, and is set within landscaped gardens that offer views towards the River Eden. Its AA 4-Star rating reflects the quality of its facilities and service.

The hotel is licensed for civil ceremonies, which can take place in a number of indoor and outdoor settings. The Garden Suite can seat up to 120 guests for a meal and includes its own private bar, lounge area, and direct access to the gardens. For an evening reception, this space can hold up to 150 people and can be partitioned for smaller events. The Conservatory holds up to 80 guests, while outdoor ceremonies can take place in the licensed Garden Gazebo. For more intimate meals, the Terrace Private Dining Room seats up to 25 guests.

All catering is provided by the hotel’s in-house team of chefs, whose work in the Conservatory Restaurant has been recognised with an AA Rosette award. The team can create formal three-course meals or informal dining options, including buffets and grazing stations. A dedicated wedding coordinator is available to assist with the planning process.

For overnight stays, the hotel provides 67 guest bedrooms. This includes the Crown Suite for the wedding couple, along with Rose Cottage, a separate six-bedroom property. Guests have access to the hotel’s fitness club, which contains an indoor swimming pool and gym. The hotel is accessible from the M6, with free on-site parking and electric vehicle charging points. Wetheral Train Station is a two-minute walk away.
