The Pilgrims Rest

Brilliant wedding venue.

It's hard to articulate just how special The Pilgrims Rest is as a wedding venue. It has the most wonderful welcoming atmosphere and quaint charm; much of its warmth however comes from the fabulous team who could not do more to help every wedding couple contribute their own chapter to the history of this magical place. We couldn't have asked for a better day, and thank you for memories that we will cherish forever.

For me as a wedding photographer it is such a joy to capture a couples' big day at the amazing Pilgrims Rest. It is such a beautiful, romantic building and the team, Waverley, Amy Lou, Maria are so kind, helpful and professional and they will make sure that your wedding day will go as smoothly as possible. You can just relax and enjoy the day. I would definitely recommend it to couples who are looking for a charming venue and a wonderful team to support them with everything! Zoltan

What a magical little gem! We was due to get married at Cooling Castle in December 2024 and then we came across the pilgrims rest. From our initial call on a Sunday morning to enquire about viewing we were greeted by a happy and helpful voice who turned out to be Amy ! We were then surprised that on the same afternoon they had a open day so drove in from London to be utterly surprised and so happy we had made the trip! From stepping into this beautiful historic rustic building we instantly fell in love! The smell , the decor , the original beauty and the overall feeling felt magical and so intimate that we knew it was for us! We were greeted by Amy and Waverley who couldnt be more helpful or lovelier at showing off all the amazing venue has to offer! We felt listened too and they made us feel so welcome and spent the afternoon laughing and smiling about what was to come. Throughout our journey and up to the day the whole team were attentive , helpful and so happy to always go the extra mile to ensure we were relaxed and had everything to hand. They emailed and called us with little reminders ( but not too much ) which was perfect especially as there is lots to arrange with a 12 week wedding schedule! Thank you again for the gentle reminders you are awesome. We took the bells and whistle package which meant we were able to go in the day before to set up. All the staff came out to the car and helped us unload our packed car and then ensured everything was set up beautifully and they took their time despite us still being there near close time - it was so helpful and warming and hugely appreciated and will not be forgotten . Our wedding was the most magical and beautiful day set in the snow - the pilgrims rest was stunning and the inside was so enchanting with all the fires and lighting! Absolutely fantastic venue with the staff to match who ensured our day went smoothly and we honestly had the most fantastic day we could have dreamed of! All our guests have all commented so highly on such a beautiful venue and the atmosphere that was created by the pilgrims rest staff all day long! The pilgrims rest will always hold a very special place in our hearts! We would recommend this to anyone looking for a beautiful venue full of charm. Thank you Amy, Waverley and rest of the pilgrims rest team you honestly are all awesome and make this venue even more perfect. Laura & Annika 17-12-2022 xXx
