Staff were great, helpful and friendly. Service in restaurants and reception great. Spa is fantastic, again staff were helpful to all requests. Overall relaxing and exclusive experience.
Excellent welcome, rooms are spacious and luxurious with beautiful views and the spa is a lovely experience. The meal was lovely and in the morning an amazing breakfast
This is an exceptional hotel. We are very travelled and rate this as one of only a few in the UK that have European or global standard of service, culture, cleanliness, functionality, beauty .
Excellent in every way , staff without exception made you feel welcome and looked after. Beautiful grounds & excellent spa facilities & wonderful food . Highly recommended.
Wonderful stay from start to finish, completely exceeded our expectations in every way, wonderful rooms, great food and lovely staff everywhere we went.
its a lovely hotel, fabulous view, comfortable accomodation. the lake walk is pleasant, and the walkway maintained to make it reasonably accessible but not fully pushchair / wheelchair capable. its great that its dog friendly and animals are allowed in and around the place
food is very nice, all made to a very high standard.
it is pricy but its very pleasant and you dont feel short changed. a good location for a special event.
We celebrated our Golden Wedding at the Coniston Hotel, along with 12 friends. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The service was excellent and the location was superb with views over the lake from all our rooms. All our friends thought the hotel was a perfect venue for our weekend celebration. The Winston' s Barn private dining room was fabulous.
Spent 2 days here. Good location if your visiting Skipton, Malham Cove or Settle etc. Restaurant has a great view of the lake (which you can walk round), the staff are well presented and helpful (and plentiful) and the breakfast is excellent. Unfortunately our room overlooked the car park so we did not have the view on the picture.
As soon as you walk through the sliding entrance doors you feel at home. This feeling is then endorsed by the friendly reception staff.
Rooms are very good, Catering is of a high standard but throughout our stay we were consistently impressed by the Staff.
Thanks guys
