The Dunes Hotel

Honestly the best day my husband and I could have wished for. The dunes is a dream location for us, with beautiful inside spaces and outside spaces for pictures. It was great value for money and so much came included in the packages. The staff can't do enough for you, they really do go above and beyond to make your day special. We were asked through the day of everything was okay and we always felt like number one. The food was amazing and really g

We had our wedding at the Dunes on 4th July and it was the absolute perfect day. Straight from meeting with Robbie two years ago and booking our wedding, Robbie and Charlotte were so lovely and accommodating. Every wedding meeting we had in the run up, nothing was too much for them and they couldn’t do enough in helping our dream day come to life. The detail in the planning from them was second to none. Most of our family and friends arrived at the hotel on the Friday and stayed until the Sunday and no one could fault a thing. Everyone commented saying how lovely and helpful the staff were and how chilled the stay was. Robbie even sorted out a meal for 16 of us in a separate room on the evening before the wedding and considering it was unplanned all the food was beautiful and fantastic service. Onto the day Robbie made the day run absolutely seamlessly, he literally never stopped all day and he made everything exactly how we had planned, the setting up and decor was even better than we could’ve imagined and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. He was even up and down to the bridal suite all morning asking if we needed anything and accommodating any requests right away. We can’t thank Robbie enough, he’s been the absolute best. The food was outstanding too, so many guests saying it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding both the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet BBQ. Nothing was too much for the team and it didn’t go unnoticed by any of the guests. Even a lot of the guests commented on how accommodating and friendly the cleaner (I think so was called Jo) was and we definitely experienced this ourselves. The bridal suite looked crazy by the time we left for the ceremony with stuff everywhere from getting ready, by the time the bridesmaids headed up after the ceremony to collect their things the room had been turned around and was absolutely spotless. You would have no idea that a group of 6 with suppliers had been getting ready in that room all morning. We had a lot of children at our wedding and this is the perfect venue for that too as there’s so much outdoor space for them to run around and there’s a park etc for them to enjoy, the kids were all saying the next morning they didn’t want to leave haha. We genuinely cannot thank you enough and we will be forever grateful for everything all the staff at the Dunes have done for us to make our per

The Dunes is just the most perfect wedding venue. The location is absolutely stunning, my pictures are out of this world. The staff are fantastic and cannot do enough for you. Charlotte and Robbie made sure our

We recently got married at The Dunes, and wish we could relive it over and over again! Everything was absolutely perfect! From our very first email through to our planning meetings, Robbie was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive to all of our ideas. On the run up to our day, Charlotte was incredible- she went out of her way to accommodate us and was in regular contact about our final plans. No request was too much and we honestly felt truly valued and supported in the planning of the big day. On the day, we felt reassured that everything was in hand and taken care of by the lovely team at The Dunes. Charlotte made sure the day ran smoothly, and is so wonderfully friendly and easy to talk to that it immediately calmed us throughout the whirlwind of the day! She is so, so talented at what she does and also ensured the rooms for our ceremony and evening reception were set up even more beautifully than we could have envisioned! It is clear that she genuinely cares about you and your day. Rest assured your wedding is in the safest hands with her! The front of house team are wonderful and efficient (huge shout out to Zoe!). All of our guests commented on how incredible the food was, and how much care had clearly gone into plating it. The Dunes is such a special place for us and we h

I don't even know where to start. Charlotte (The wedding coordinator @ The Dunes), truly is amazing. She went above and beyond to make our day perfect. We had zero problems, everyone was so happy with food, service (everything). Food was amazing and plenty of it too. Rooms were perfect, day & night went amazing. Only problem was it went way too fast. Charlotte did everything for us, from doing all our decorations that we brought (thinking we'd be doing them) to delivering the most perfect day for us. She's easy to talk to, get along with and puts you at ease with everything. You truly are a credit to The

I stayed at the Dunes the night before my wedding and from the minute I arrived Charlotte the events planner make sure I was happy with how the room was set out and was constantly checking to see if happy with everything. The day of the wedding yet again charlotte came in the morning to see how I was doing and if there was anything she could do to help. She even helped with my little girl. The whole day went perfect and smoothly and that was down to charlot

Robbie & Charlotte (all staff) were amazing from start to finish, nothing was too much trouble and we had alot of extra request. The whole day was perfectly planned and went smoothly. The food was especially ep

I cannot fault anything from first walking into The Dunes Hotel to ask for a wedding leaflet and was immediately shown round the venue (April 2024) and eventually being married in July 2025. From the very first email between Robbie (Sales and Marketing Manager) and I, nothing was too much. All my questions were asked, fulfilled and came to fruition on my wedding day. Robbie and the vendors were all in touch behind the scenes after I had spoken with them. From the flowers, photographer, saxophonist, singer and in house disco, everything was set up exactly how I wanted. The day started with room service (fabulous room with a view) with a lovely breakfast for the bridal party. From the ceremony, which was outside and a beautiful location, the stunning function room for the superb wedding breakfast, which was changed for the night time celebrations, it was all just perfect. The staff at The Dunes Hotel could not do enough for us, especially Robbie as I felt he was my personal wedding coordinator and the whole day went without a hitch

Couldn’t recommend the Dunes more - a beautiful venue, staff can’t do enough for you and were really helpful, friendly, flexible and good communication beforehand. Great value for money, the function room itself was beautifully decorated and there was a good mix of indoor and

Below is an email we have sent to The Dunes after our lovely wedding day! We just wanted to say the biggest, bubbliest, most heartfelt THANK YOU for giving us the most incredible wedding day we could have ever dreamed of. We are still floating on air and honestly can’t put into words how happy and grateful we are. Charlotte and Robbie – you were both absolutely phenomenal. From the very first meeting right through to the big day, you were kind, calm, organised, and full of positivity. No question was too small, no request too much – and believe us, we had a few! The countless emails, the long chats, the final details… you made sure every single detail was covered, and my goodness, it truly paid off. Our day was flawless. Charlotte – thank you especially for your patience and care with Daisy. Getting her down the aisle was a little miracle in itself, and you did it with such grace and warmth. And thank you so much for checking in on me all morning – it honestly helped me feel so calm and reassured. To the amazing bar staff – thank you for your energy and enthusiasm! You weren’t just serving drinks; you were part of the celebration. When our entertainer roped you in, you joined in with such good spirit – everyone noticed and absolutely loved it. Please pass on the biggest compliments to the chef – the food was out of this world! Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavour, and so many guests commented that it was the best wedding meal they’d ever had. From the canapés to the evening bites, every bite was delicious. The venue itself looked stunning. The rooms were clean, spacious, and so welcoming. The little touches – rose petals, thoughtful decor, everything in place – it all added such a lovely, personal feel. It really made the overnight stay feel just as special as the day itself. We also want to give a huge thank you to the whole behind-the-scenes team – the cleaners, kitchen crew, setup staff, and everyone else who works so hard but might not always be seen. Your efforts did not go unnoticed. The whole day ran smoothly and on time, and that only happens when there’s a brilliant team running the show. So many of our guests told us it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever been to – and that’s entirely thanks to all of you. You made sure everything flowed beautifully so that we could simply enjoy ourselves, be in the moment, and soak it all in. If anyone ever asks us for wedding venue recommendations, you will be to

Robbie and Charlotte (the wedding coordinators) were amazing! They were always on hand to help with any queries and requests! The venue itself is in such a beautiful location, with only being 2 minutesfrom the beach, there's even a buttercup field on the grounds both of which are stunning places for the perfect photos! The food was delicious! All of the staff were fantastic! The rooms were spacious and really comfortable! We would 100% recommend the dunes for any par

The Dunes for our wedding Friday 6th December 2024 was the best decision we ever made. The whole experience from the first meeting with coordinator Robbie to the day of our wedding was amazing and beyond words !!! Every detail we wanted was met with 'absolutely not a problem'and done with professionalism, care, expertise and respect even suggesting ideas that we'd never thought of which we added to make our day extra special. All the staff that were involved from the reception, the kitchen,waiting on staff and chambermaids were polite,courteous and so helpful throughout the day and night,nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend The Dunes Hotel Barrow-in-Furness Cumbria for your wed

Gary the wedding coordinator was amazing from start to finish, so chilled out and nothing was too much for him even when we had a last minute disaster and my husband realised he’d forgot to bring the wedding music with him it was no problem for Gary. I couldn’t recommend him enough he’s relatively new to the dunes but he really was amazing and helped make our special day run smoothly 🤩
