A lady needs to wash and I found this totally unacceptable. The room was dated and the carpet was dirty. The staff were really nice but this spoilt my... More

My husband and myself stayed at the Waterhead hotel from the 2nd - 5th Dec 11, we chose this hotel because of it's location to the Old Man Of Coniston with wonderful views and peace and quiet. Plenty of onsite parking available and a quick 5min stroll took you into the village of Coniston with a few charming pubs with... More
