Very accommodating and welcoming staff. Clean and tidy with a lovely cafe attached.
Great place, great breakfast and fabulous milk shakes from their cafe next door!
Staggeringly awful service when I called into the café attached to this hotel--so bad it was almost entertaining. There was no-one at the counter when I entered but someone was sitting, eating, behind a computer monitor, at a desk which faced the front door (about 3 feet from where I was waiting). No greeting, no acknowledgement--except that 2 minutes later a hand emerged from behind the screen, reached for a small brass bell and gave it a single ring (ie the person clearly knew I was there and seemed to be too busy eating to pay any attention to a customer.
A waitress then appeared behind the counter (summoned by the bell, one assumes). No greeting, no comment on my wait, no eye contact, no thanks for payment. And one of the worst cups of coffee I've encountered since about 1967.
We stayed here after a long walk up the old man of coniston. Despite being a hotel in a town which is popular with walkers, the carpets were very clean throughout. We were shown around by a staff memeber who also run the cafe next to the hotel. There was a blackboard in the hallway with a little chalk which you write down your breakfast preference from the menu beside it the night before. The room itself was very small but perfect for our needs. It was very clean and decorated wonderfully. The bathroom had a lovely shower and modern units. We had a stunning view of the old man at coniston which we thought was wonderful being that we had just walked up it. The bed was soft but quite short, it not the tallest and even my feet stuck over the edge! Also there isn't any parking designated for hotel visitors. There was free on street parking but it was all full when we got there. We stayed on the village car park which is quite expensive (£8 a day). The breakfast was beautiful. I had American pancakes and my other half had a full English. Because we marked down what time we were coming down for breakfast, We didn't have to wait long for it. Unfortunately, the table wear was a little worn. The teapot had a few chips and the glaze on both tea cups were cracking but nothing I would mark a place down for. The toast was beautiful and the little honey, marmalade, and jam pots were very quaint and a nice touch. We would definitely stay here again.
Fantastic little b&b, great view from the room and brilliant service from all staff.
Lovely staff, excellent food, beautiful rooms and scenery.
Lovely B&B. We spent one night here in the suite which was perfect for my wife, daughter and I. The rooms were clean and well presented with excellent views out across the Coniston Fells. Breakfast was very good and the Breakfast room is very nice. Staff are very helpful. The B&B is well located for hiking in the hills and for waterspoets on Coniston Water. I'd happily recommend Lakeland House to others.
