Rooms were clean but dated, shower over the bath, poor water pressure.

Ate evening meal in the pub which was delicious, excellent range of local beers on tap, staff friendly, helpful. Good breakfast

Double bed was two singles which was uncomfortable to sleep on not the softest of mattresses.

Great location.

No shower only a bath with a victorian style shower tap which wasn't practical but we were only there for 2 nights so put up with it.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food and drinks in the pub were good.

Bed was slightly smaller than a double Shower wasn't great when other people in hotel using showers kept switching off, not a major issue just needed to be patient

Friendly staff. Easy checkin

Tiny quibble with lack of dairy-free options at breakfast. Also really appreciated the shampoo provided, but conditioner would have made my life complete.

Staff were wonderful, very accommodating with special requests, very welcoming. Highly recommend. Room was comfortable, large, warm and clean and had everything required. The room was very quiet and the pub is itself is charming.

The bath with shower combo. You need to pop a hook on the wall so you don’t have to hold the head to shower and pop a curtain around so you don’t flood the floor.

The room was clean. The staff were great. The food was excellent.

Shower attachment didn’t work well in the bath, couldn’t manage the temperature, either too hot or cold.

Staff are friendly and helpful, fairly basic but decent food (result cooked breakfast is great). And a reasonable wine list so great beer.

My mattress wasn’t the most comfortable. Bathroom shower tap hadn’t been cleaned underneath. I really couldn’t think of anything else and this didn’t spoil my three nights stay.

Central location with parking. My bike was outside my room off the road behind a gate. Inside original old world charm. Associated with a micro brewery really nice selection of beer just brewed next door. Decent selection of mainly traditional pub grub. Staff were very amenable. Loads of tea & coffee in my room ( no biscuits but that wasn’t really a negative). Felt very welcome.

We only had a bath with a shower head attached but no curtain so you couldn’t really shower properly and none of us could regulate the water temp, either scorching or freezing. I think in the theme with the room a bath was adding the Inn feel I get that but 3 adults who had been climbing in the lakes needed a shower not a bath. Also they only accepted card payments only and the system went down so no purchases could be made, they need to move with the times a little I think whilst keeping the focus of an Inn

The location for taking in The old man, the breakfast was absolutely top notch, the room was nice and clean

Minor problem with our room on arrival. But the staff sorted this out very quickly and without fuss, ensuring that we enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place to stay while we did the Cumbria Way. Staff were really helpful, the food was good and our room very comfortable. Have stayed before and will no doubt return

The only thing that I didn’t like is that the shower in the bathroom did not have a curtain. You have to hold the shower head in your hand while you wash. Not ideal!

The pub is located right in the centre of the village. Parking is provided on site at no extra charge. This is a very traditional English pub with a great selection of excellent beers and other drinks. The real ales served in the pub are actually made in the building right behind by the highly regarded Coniston Brewing Company! The staff are all very friendly, welcoming and helpful. Our room was very comfortable and clean. Meals served here are the standard pub grub variety and are very well prepared. Breakfast in the morning was excellent and is served to you at your table. None of that help yourself buffet nonsense! We had a very relaxing stay here and will definitely stay here again next time we are in Coniston.

location, central and pub served good food

Lovely breakfasts. Friendly staff. Rooms comfy. All good really.

More choice at breakfast would have been the only minor criticism, however it was still a great traditional breakfast with friendly staff.

Great central location in the town, free parking was a bonus as it saved parking down the road in the main car park. Friendly staff and great selection of local ales, think it was called Bluebird which was a great pint.

Super location and friendly staff. Comfortable bed & room with great view. Bedroom was rather small and there was a handheld over bath shower, slightly tricky if you are tall but fine for one or two nights' stay. Lovely food and relaxed ambiance ; has own brewery with some iconic award winning local beers. Well worth a stay.

Saturday morning, we had to be at the head quarters of the chill swim (local school) whilst my husband was preparing to set off, I went back to the hotel to collect a bacon cob, (requested the evening before) the first staff member, who evidently had nothing to do with the kitchen went in to ask. Now she must have said something to the effect of me moaning, (which I wasnt) the chef came out and was basically very sarcastic. This was unnecessary in my opinion.

Location perfect for the purpose of our visit. Tracy was an excellent host from us checking in and serving at the bar. She went above her duty by showing us the correct route to follow to reach the finish of the coniston chill swim. This was not expected yet greatly appreciated. Evening meal on the Saturday was very nice as was breakfast on Sunday morning.

Nothing. The decor is a little dated but I like that and it is great value for money.
