At Briery Wood, our service is warm, informal and thoughtfully unobtrusive – there when you need it, never when you don’t. From the moment you arrive, you’re invited to slow down, settle in and feel completely at home. Sink into one of our cosy lounges with a freshly brewed coffee, or raise a glass of chilled wine as you unwind and let the day gently fade away.

Food Worth Savouring
At Briery Wood, good food is at the heart of every stay. Our menus celebrate the best local produce the Lake District has to offer – from tender Herdwick lamb and traditional Cumberland sausage to freshly caught trout, Morecambe Bay potted shrimps, seasonal asparagus, and carefully chosen Cumbrian cheeses and chutneys.
Relax in our spacious dining room or on the garden terrace and enjoy freshly prepared dishes that reflect the seasons and the region’s rich culinary heritage. Whether you’re stopping in for lunch, settling down for dinner or indulging in a classic afternoon tea, there’s always something delicious to discover.

Went here for an afternoon tea for my birthday, second time going. Absolutely LOVE this place. Will definitely be going back in the future. Food is amazing, staff are so sweet and the place is nicely decorated too.

We really lucked out with Briery Wood as our wedding venue. The staff could not have been kinder and more attentive, and their wedding team specifically were fast responders to every question. The food was also SO delicious, and the rooms are just so beautiful with special finishing touches. Wishing we could have our special day here again and again!
