The Waterhead hotel is located on the lake and even has a jetty in which regular boat trips pick-up from and drop-off too. There is a foot path right next to the hotel takes you to the area of the lake where water sports are available next to the Bluebird Cafe. The village of Coniston is also just a 10... More

This hotel is situated in a nice location close to Consiston lake, the rooms are a bit tired and could do with a returb, they are clean and the bed was comfortable. The restaurant has a limited menu, only one veggie option, breakfast is good. We had an excellent meal at the Wilson's just outside Coniston. The staff at the... More

We stayed 1 night as a late deal. The location is perfect & the staff friendly. We ate there that night. The duck was beautiful as was my chocolate pudding. However, my Husbands food was not so good & he was left disapointed. Our room was comfortable if a little tired.
