A friendly welcome, All staff were very helpful. The room was very clean if a little on the small side, but this was no problem for us as we were out and about all day. The food was very nice although we were a little limited as we don't eat meat (but it was the same story at all the... More

I visited Coniston on business; arrived tired & hungry and greeted by warm welcome from owners & shown to cosy cottage style room (normally stay in chain hotels). Found room quirky but very clean. Had dinner which was ok, homemade brownie gorgeous, (wine recommended was excellent). told that menu is being reviewed following feedback from this site. Slept like a... More

After a long morning calling at various villages around western Windermere we decided to have lunch in Coniston Village. We had decided on the menu at The Yew Dale hotel right in the centre of the village. They allowed our pet dog into the bar area, the menu was varied and for the lakes area reasonable. The food was very... More
