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.

Warm friendly welcome. Cottage was well equipped. Booked breakfast for our last morning and this was a let down. I have never been charged extra for coffee with breakfast. Overall we did enjoy our stay and would go back, but we'd cook our own breakfast!

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.

Romantic Retreat.
This was a lovely Romantic Retreat for the weekend. hotel was well equipped and the bedroom included a bath and shower- and a separate toilet. Absolutely fine if your comfortable-but some may feel a little exposed..

Unhappy
We were not informed they were having building work, we would of not gone had we known as it was like a building site, dust everywhere, drilling started at 8am, had a marquee where you could buy food and drinks, limited menu served in cardboard box with wooden knife and fork. We were very disappointed

Didn’t feel like a guest.
Had to wait 25 mins to check in, Gentlemen who served me and saw me to the room was excellent, polite and helpful. Rest of staff were poor in hospitality. Poor room, issue with bathroom.

Amazing location, starting point for several local walking routes, right by the Old man of Coniston. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was superb, we had breakfast included, which was a very good start to our days. Had one evening meal as it was otherwise fully booked. The room was nice, the bed very comfy, however the cleanliness wasn't the best. We had a bag of rubbish presumably left by the previous guests on the balcony, (dog?) hair on the bed -assuming from the decorative cushions on the bed. During the day someone came in to tidy the bed, but nothing else was touched, eg no toilet paper despite it was clearly run out, mugs were not cleaned, etc. No major issues, we had a great time and was very happy overall with the Wilson arms, I'm sure we will go back.

Watch out for the breakfast
The hotel itself is really good with nice rooms. But be aware if you go for the breakfast option. This is what they call 'continental', however, it doesn't match in with what we consider as continental. There was just toast, cereal and a couple of jams.

Coniston stay
I found the staff to be a little cold and unwelcoming. Also I thought the food was overpriced and not great.

Lovely room, clean, modern
Overall we had a lovely stay and the room was nice however, we booked a room with breakfast included. When we went down for breakfast we were asked if we wanted anything hot cooking which we asked for 2 English breakfast. Their was no notification that this was chargeable before we ordered and when I checked my booking confirmation, it said breakfast included, no mention of a free continental breakfast. When we checked out we was charged for both breakfast which we was not happy about

Fabulous little friendly place
First off I want to say how brilliant the lady behind the bar was. She was so friendly and welcoming and took care of everything singlehanded and did a fantastic job. The place was really busy in the bar and also in the restaurant. When we checked in and got to our room it was really nice and cosy. I only marked cleanliness as a little smile because of the amount of cobwebs in the room. The only real downside about the room was the window was drafty and the wind whistled a little bit. However we slept well. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and the food was delicious. I will definitely be back at some point. We went down for breakfast and the morning and again couldn’t fault the food. Service was pleasant but not as good as the evening. Overall I would recommend this place

Handy parking at the front and off the main road. Decent sized room with balcony at the rear! Good selection of real ales and menu choices. Lamb hotpot delicious. Continental breakfast with choice of cereals and yoghurts, toast and bread to slice if needed.Can upgrade to cooked breakfast if needed. Appreciated fire in the bar on a cold Nov night. Friendly staff. Happy to recommend to others.
