Beautiful hotel with delightful grounds and fabulous views over the lake. The staff, and especially the manager Michael, could not have done more to make our two night stay perfect. My husband is disabled and we found all areas of the hotel easily accessible. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable. I can’t commend the staff enough without exception they were helpful, polite and upbeat. They all look happy in their work and nothing seemed to be any bother to them. It is clear the staff are well led and managed by Michael and the Inn Collection should be very proud of what the Coniston Inn staff have achieved.

Lovely hotel. Rooms clean & a hood size. Peaceful with excellent food & staff. Decent sized car park. Children's "fairy trail" in woods. Half mile easy walk into Coniston itself. Very dog friendly- so if you don't like dogs avoid!!

Definitely the best meal we had in Coniston. If you’re trying to decide between them all, this is the one I’d go to. The food was delicious and serving sizes were very generous. Great, friendly service from the bar and wait staff also which isn’t always the case in some pubs.

We called in here for a drink as we traveled around. What a superb outlook and gardens looking out towards the lake. We felt most welcome on entry by all the staff. The Inn and bar area is beautifully designed and presented, plenty of room to sit and move around. It's well spaced out and you don't feel on top of each other. I decided to have something to eat and I ordered the steak pie. It was beautiful and well portioned. Followed by a nice latte. I would love to stay here one day as I could imagine how relaxing it would be to stay here. Definitely worth 5 stars from both of us and a hotel to visit if you are passing. Discount for NHS staff which was good as one of us does.
