Aagh! I am fuming at the asking price for breakfast which was £11:50. We had come to very sleepy Coniston for the day to walk up three peaks - which was superb. We walked into the Black Bull which looked promising, if a bit cold and dark. We waited ages for someone to come to serve us and when the... More

My wife and I recently stayed at The Black Bull for two nights as a relaxing break. We have stayed on several previous occasions and were welcomed back like old friends. We stayed in Room 4 in the annex which was very spacious with a king-size bed and spotlessly clean. A nice touch were the patio doors leading onto a... More

Stayed here March 2011. Really nice atmosphere with great locally made beer. The room we had was large with a couple of chairs in the window to sit and look out from the front of the building. Had a meal in the pub which was also great. Would stay again. More
