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."

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