Sara and the whole team at the Coniston are simply amazing and so polite. The bedrooms are really special and so cosy especially the delux ones. The scenery and location is magical and the lake is wonderful. The food from breakfast to dinner is delicious. We have stayed here twice this year and it’s been delightful every time. Thank you ☺️ Di & family

Group of us stayed at the hotel after we had a work meeting on site. Excellent communication beforehand and it was an easy day all round with arrangements. Rooms were all good, modern and clean and dinner in the restaurant was enjoyed by all that night. We will be using it again for future team get togethers.
