After reading the previous negative comments about this great little place i feel compelled to write my first review on here. My Partner Sally and I have been returning to this cracking pub/Inn for a couple of years now. We found it after an incredibly poor meal in a pub in Coniston village and after eating here once we became... More

Stayed here last weekend. Obviously a busy local pub - saw great reviews for food pinned up on the walls. However, not a great place if you want to get any sleep. Quiz night went on until midnight and every question could be heard in our bedroom (and others if the conversations the next morning are anything to go by).... More

We have been hesitant about using tripadvisor in the past - it can give a slightly unfair impression of a place... BUT, after a night at the Church House Inn we felt compelled to share our thoughts. I really wanted to like this place, but following our stay, there's no way I could recommend it... - The pub was threadbare.... More

After staying one night in the Church House Inn in Torver, Cumbria, I would never stay there again. My partner and I had a rare weekend off together and a friend offered us her spot at the Church House Inn. She booked the room through Laterooms and had only seen what pictures they had online. These pictures tell a very... More

Just returned from a 2 night stay here, slightly confused after reading the other reviews. I have to assume the reviewers either ate here but didn't stay, or we were allocated a particularly poor room. We didn't manage to eat an evening meal here, so cannot comment on food quality. This review is for accommodation. Hope you find it helpful.... More

Stayed here on the second night of a walk from Ravenglass to Ulverston (Although stayed here a year earlier when doing the Cumbria Way). Welcome very warm on both occasions. Room very nice and quiet and recently redecorated. Ate in the "snug" restaurant again. Food and service excellent. Real ale and wine just what was needed having 12.5 miles walked... More

We have been visiting Coniston annually for the last four years but this was our first trip to the Church House Inn - it won't be our last! There were eight of us (all adults) eating and we had a great evening. The food was excellent - to start, perfectly cooked scallops and pork belly, chicken liver parfait and asparagus... More

We too booked a table for Sunday 25th March and I can confirm the review below, as we were unfortunate enough to be sitting next to that table and witness the service they received. We had booked for 2 pm and our table was reserved in the bar, a poor second to the lovely restaurant. Things started badly when we... More

Food very good but we were not allowed to purchase deserts away from set lunch.The service was shambolic and the waitress/owner was rude and furthermore did not seem... More

Stayed one night recently at the Church House Inn. Very warm welcome, especially for our dog, which was great. Nice old fashioned pub with real fire, real ale and locals to meet and have a chat. Lovely, cosy, warm bedroom. tv would only hold on itv & no other side...not that we go away to watch tv but it should... More
