We spent a night here over the May bank holiday using a Red Letter Day voucher we received as a gift, so can't really comment on the overall value of the hotel. We enjoyed our stay - the location is excellent, with gardens leading right down to Coniston Water, and being just outside the village it's very quiet at night.... More

We stayed for the easter weekend at the Waterside hotel, the staff at the Waterside were very friendly and helpful, and provided us with local walking routes when asked. There are also outdoor activities run from the hotel by River Deep Mountain High which we didn't try but would like to next time (best to pre-book). The hotel was spotlessly... More

We stayed overnight in a large family room with stunning views. The hotel was clean and friendly but the quality of the food was very disappointing both at dinner and breakfast. If you are going to stay we would suggest that you find somewhere else for an evening meal. More

Overall we had a very good experience here with friendly, efficient and professional staff and excellent food at both breakfast and dinner. Our room was very spacious and very clean, The only downside to room 19, on the second floor, (lift to floor one only) was that although it was a large family room it had a very small bathroom...

From the outside this slate building is beautiful in an idyllic setting with a good size garden that leads up to the edge of Conniston Lake. However the inside is dated and not to the standard I would expect for the price. The room was small and the double bed tiny. Although we a had booked a ground floor suite... More

Always a delight to stay here, one of our favourite hotels anywhere in the country. Whilst not a destination in itself, we are always in the area for other reasons, we've always tried to stay here whenever we can for the last 10+ years. Always a great welcome and some great staff who we've come to know well over the... More

Just returned today, April 11th from the Waterhead, our first stay in Coniston, probably won't be back. The hotel itself is in a lovely location and has great views from the breakfast/dining room and also from our room on the second floor, but we had a couple of complaints. Our room, number 4, had no cold water in the bath,... More

Our stay was blessed by quite exceptional weather which may have coloured our overall impression. The hotel's two greatest assets are its excellent location and the friendly, helpful staff. We didn't get off to the greatest start - no cold water in the bathroom made a comfortable bath or shower impossible. However the problem was remedied immediately upon reporting the... More
