Lovely stay night before a wedding in Coniston
Had a lovely stay here recently, the staff were really great and very friendly, even allowing me to stay in my room later than the official check-out time as I was getting ready for a wedding. The room itself could have been a little cleaner and one of the lamps by the bed didn't work, but overall it was perfectly fine and more than clean enough for rooms above a pub :) The bed was wonderfully comfortable and I had one of the best nights sleep I've had in a while (especially after driving 7 hours to get there!). Breakfast the next morning was included in the price for the night, with a selection of both continental style and cooked options, my full English came out within 15/20 minutes of ordering and I had a proper, cafetière coffee. Very pleased and would definitely stay again if I'm back in the Lakes!

Very Disappointed August 2024 Booked a 2 night stay with my partner - The room was tidy although the bathroom was quite mouldy and had silverfish running around the floor. We had an hours wait for breakfast on the first morning and the staff had packed away the bread/toaster etc well before our food arrived (food actually arrived 30 mins after breakfast restaurant had closed). In the afternoon we asked if we needed to book a table to eat at night. We were told there’s absolutely no chance of a table as they are so busy. The nearest place for food is in Coniston (over an hours walk away). We didn’t think it was unreasonable as a resident of the pub/restaurant to expect to be able to eat and drink there. We had to return home half way through our stay and lose our booking costs of £110

I hate to write anything other than a great review but I have to be honest about our stay. We paid £148 for one night in a room that to be honest that was small, smelt musty and just generally unclean. We found hairs in the bed, and in a coffee cup. There was rust on the bathroom radiators, black grouting in the shower and the floor just looked unclean. There was also a large dehumidifier in the room - it was clear why. We didn’t end up staying for breakfast as it didn’t start until 8:30am and we were up and out early so can’t comment on that but when we come to leave I was asked have you paid up instead of first asking how our stay was. I unfortunately cant say I would return, It was nothing like the pictures shared on the booking site.

Perfect relaxing break
Always nice to stay here staff friendly and food is very good especially the Sunday lunch. The shepherds huts are perfect everything you need for a relaxing break nice touch with the dressing gowns so we can get to and from hot tub. Ideally situated for walking don’t have to use car if you don’t want to.

Pleasant stay, in comfortable twin room, the bed was a little soft for me but slept reasonably well, the bathroom was definitely a little small but nicely done with mirrors on all walls at face height (a bit scary). We ate in the bar and had an excellent meal, I’m Coeliac and was very well catered for both at dinner and breakfast. A great plus was a gluten free hand pumped beer on the bar as well

The pod was great and clean except it was so hot during the night and we had to open the door 5-6 times and closer to the morning turning off the heating. The second day the water was shut down because of water freezing at -1 degree. My expectation was they could handle water running in even more cold weather conditions. We did the self checkin successfully but no one welcome us pr guide us as local to tell where to go or visit. Our pod was located in the camper van parking area and does not have hot tub as I saw in the photos.

Another lovely stay in the herdwick apartment, lovely comfortable apartment great for relaxing after a long day out in the mountains. Really well equipped for catering for yourselves or if you dont want to bother you can eat in the pub. Not a major issue but the only thing that i would say is it needs the sign putting back up for parking space as a couple of times when we came back we couldn't park due to customers of pub parked in the space for the apartment.
