8 of us spent 1 week around the coniston area and decided to have lunch at the hotel. We asked for some menus, which were basically thrown at us without so much as a smile or even eye contact, let alone any sort of vertbal recognition. Consequently we dicided not to bother eating and have just a drink. Still no... More

We booked for seven nights in September and we were totally amazed at... More

The weather was foul... More
