The Coniston Inn - The Inn Collection Group

8/10 Good

"M"

YHA Hawkshead - Hostel

8/10 Good

"Both my friend and I had a lovely Stay in Hawshead. We'll defineley be returning again. Only thing i will make a comment on during our stay the Fire Alarm went off. We met up at the designated area, names were called got to the end then a Gentleman stepped forward to be forgotten from the Fire Call out. Got a good activation Call"

The Hive at Poppi Red

8/10 Good

"Attic room needs a little TLC, bath taps looked old and velux window was taped in place. A few walls with marks on and the bed not the most comfortable. But nicely decor and very clean. The whole process is very impersonal, an email with a code to use the door and no real interaction with anyone other than staff in the restaurant. We left the room and no one around to ask how everything was etc. Left us feeling a bit cold about all. But it’s a nice enough place and it did the job. We just like the human touch a bit more than you get here."

Red Lion Inn

8/10 Good

"The Red Lion is perfectly located within the picturesque village of Hawkshead. The pub is a great, friendly place to spend the evening and the fact that they serve food is a bonus if you don't want to go out. All the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again."

Bluebird Lodge and Waterhead Apartment

10/10 Excellent

"Nice compact room ideal for me and the dog staff excellent carnt do enough for you,, clean room lovely views, excellent breakfast one of the best cooked breakfasts I've ever had.. 👍"

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding refurbished home in the heart of Coniston Village

10/10 Excellent

"Really clean, well equipped cottage, very central and convenient. Plenty of room and very comfortable. Felt like staying in a home with lovely furnishings and kitchenwaters, not just a rental with tatty basics. Very weloming of our dog.Hosts very kind, provided lots of information, maps etc (perhaps better as seperate documents as we know the area well and didnt need any of it). The only thing that would improve it is a place for wet coats/boots by either door to stop you dripping everywhere. Be aware it's a family bathroom on 2nd floor and shower room on ground floor, with bedrooms on 1st and 2nd floors which worked fine for us."

1 Bed Flat - Sleeps 4 - Garden - Parking - Wifi
