Fab location

Fab location with stunning view from the breakfast room. Near enough to walk into Coniston main town within 5-10 minutes. Great that parking was available. Pub just across the road serving good food. Tracey was friendly and amenable. Great breakfast. Compact room but perfectly adequate.

Hosts were excellent, wifi at hotel was not good, too much noise from the floor above and every time some flushed the toilet or had a shower we could here water running through the pipes in our room.

B&B in a lovely location with very nice hosts. Our room was quite noisy with a lot of noise from above us and a dreadful noise from the plumbing when other rooms ran their taps. That aside we enjoyed our stay here.

Long weekend break

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in apartment 2. We found it very homely and comfortable with great views of Old Man Coniston. Perfectly located to explore Coniston by foot, and the local vicinity by car. Tracey was extremely welcoming and helpful, and provided a good choice of cooked or continental breakfasts. Would definitely recommend, and will hopefully return in the future.

Lovely stay, amazing views

Bluebird Lodge was a lovely place to spend a couple of nights, very welcoming and a suberb breakfast. The location is wonderful if you prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough should you want to use the amenities of Coniston. Fab view from the breakfast room. Only disappointment was the shower, very feeble and difficult to use due to poor pressure, a common problem with showers off the bath mixer tap.
