Great place to stay.

Great base for exploring the Lakes. Pub rooms were good value. Welcoming lively pub/restaurant with good range of options and very generous portions! Plenty of free parking. All in all a great experience.

Excellent stay!

Staff were friendly and welcoming, the shepherds hut was clean and well equipped. The bed is quite high, so may not be great for people with mobility issues. There is a dog who barks constantly and is kept outside close to the huts, which made sitting out frustrating.

We stayed in a Shepherd's hut and it was great! Lovely location for going walking (only about 10min drive from a car park to go up old man coniston) Was super cosy and warm inside the hut, everything you need to prepare food, a tv to watch Netflix etc and bed was decent. It did get quite damp in there at night leaving the corners of the bed a bit wet in the morning but nothing too extreme. (Might be worse after more than 2 nights though.) The Wilson’s arms was a nice place for food and a drink in the evenings and the deli attached had everything you need. Would come back!

Lovely stay night before a wedding in Coniston

Had a lovely stay here recently, the staff were really great and very friendly, even allowing me to stay in my room later than the official check-out time as I was getting ready for a wedding. The room itself could have been a little cleaner and one of the lamps by the bed didn't work, but overall it was perfectly fine and more than clean enough for rooms above a pub :) The bed was wonderfully comfortable and I had one of the best nights sleep I've had in a while (especially after driving 7 hours to get there!). Breakfast the next morning was included in the price for the night, with a selection of both continental style and cooked options, my full English came out within 15/20 minutes of ordering and I had a proper, cafetière coffee. Very pleased and would definitely stay again if I'm back in the Lakes!

Very Disappointed August 2024 Booked a 2 night stay with my partner - The room was tidy although the bathroom was quite mouldy and had silverfish running around the floor. We had an hours wait for breakfast on the first morning and the staff had packed away the bread/toaster etc well before our food arrived (food actually arrived 30 mins after breakfast restaurant had closed). In the afternoon we asked if we needed to book a table to eat at night. We were told there’s absolutely no chance of a table as they are so busy. The nearest place for food is in Coniston (over an hours walk away). We didn’t think it was unreasonable as a resident of the pub/restaurant to expect to be able to eat and drink there. We had to return home half way through our stay and lose our booking costs of £110

I hate to write anything other than a great review but I have to be honest about our stay. We paid £148 for one night in a room that to be honest that was small, smelt musty and just generally unclean. We found hairs in the bed, and in a coffee cup. There was rust on the bathroom radiators, black grouting in the shower and the floor just looked unclean. There was also a large dehumidifier in the room - it was clear why. We didn’t end up staying for breakfast as it didn’t start until 8:30am and we were up and out early so can’t comment on that but when we come to leave I was asked have you paid up instead of first asking how our stay was. I unfortunately cant say I would return, It was nothing like the pictures shared on the booking site.
