Sara and the whole team at the Coniston are simply amazing and so polite. The bedrooms are really special and so cosy especially the delux ones. The scenery and location is magical and the lake is wonderful. The food from breakfast to dinner is delicious. We have stayed here twice this year and it’s been delightful every time. Thank you ☺️ Di & family

Perfect location and fantastic hotel

We celebrated our Golden Wedding at the Coniston Hotel, along with 12 friends. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The service was excellent and the location was superb with views over the lake from all our rooms. All our friends thought the hotel was a perfect venue for our weekend celebration. The Winston' s Barn private dining room was fabulous.

its a lovely hotel, fabulous view, comfortable accomodation. the lake walk is pleasant, and the walkway maintained to make it reasonably accessible but not fully pushchair / wheelchair capable. its great that its dog friendly and animals are allowed in and around the place food is very nice, all made to a very high standard. it is pricy but its very pleasant and you dont feel short changed. a good location for a special event.
