Reviews and Ratings
This hotel is a gem in the town center, offering cozy rooms with lovely views of the fells. The service is top-notch with attentive staff, but the dining options could be improved. The location is perfect for exploring the lakes, and the facilities are well-kept.
The hotel is a gem in the heart of Coniston, offering a cozy stay with a touch of home. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the service is top-notch, making me feel truly valued. While the dining experience was delightful, a few more variety options would have been welcomed. The location is unbeatable, placing you right in the center of all the action. Overall, a great value for the experience provided.
The hotel is nestled in the center of the village, offering beautiful views of the fells. The rooms boast excellent beds and provide a comfortable stay, but the dining experience with top-quality ingredients could be more diverse. However, the attentive service from the manager and bar staff adds a personal touch to the stay.
