Room with view on the lake. Size and state mediocre. Amazing bar area with decent food and outstanding beer choices. Loved the breakfast buffet. Except no modern coffee.

Gutted!!

Checked in to an expensive room to find the view from the window was a brick wall about 6 foot away. To the left of that brick wall was a covered outside area for the staff so plenty of chatting can be heard with the window open. The bed was 2 single beds/mattresses pushed together. Definitely not the gorgeous views promised on their website! The only good thing was that they offered a full refund when we left 30 minutes after our arrival. It is on the lake so a great location, but only if your lucky enough not to get the budget room with NO view!

The room was late being done on the Friday so told them not to bother.The Saturday we said not to make up the room. They was a complicated system of getting free drinks if you didn’t have you room made up .when we asked about a free drink l was told by a slightly obnoxious bar manager (with a beard) that we did not qualify.When l told him we would not comeback his reply was suit yourself The rest a the staff was helpful band kind The septic tank gave of a nasty odour Food not good

Herrlicher Aufenthalt in wunderbarer Umgebung

Weilte 5 Tage im Hotel The Coniston Inn. Die Lage des Hotels, unmittelbar in Seenähe und etwas ausserhalb vom Ort Coniston (kurzer Fussmarsch) gelegen, ist schlicht wunderbar. Sehr ruhige Lage, eine Bus-Haltestelle vor dem Hotel und eine grosse Gartenanlage mit Sitz- und Erholungsgelegenheiten. Das Gebäude ist ein typisch englisches Landhaus. Das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Im Zimmer habe ich mich sehr wohl gefühlt. Toll auch, dass man im Zimmer über einen Wasserkocher mit Tee- und Kaffee-Vorräten verfügen kann. Das Frühstück ist grandios. Sehr zu empfehlen sind die Eier-Gerichte (im Frühstückspreis enthalten). Auch im Restaurant habe ich einige Male gegessen. Es hat Pub-Charakter, was ich als sehr angenehm empfunden habe.

Great stay. Location is amazing. Staff warm and friendly, particularly Tom. Rooms need a bit of attention - finish esp ceiling in room isn't great and is easy to rectify. Food is very good and great atmosphere in pub and restaurant. We hope to be back.

Bijzonder mooie locatie met geweldige tuin

Een bijzonder leuke locatie. Heel rustige ruime tuin aan het water. Wel jammer dat er picknicktafels staan. Ook geen airco op de kamer en in het restaurant geen ober die de bestellingen voor drinken en eten kwam opnemen. Een heel mooi restaurant.
