Perfect location and fantastic hotel
We celebrated our Golden Wedding at the Coniston Hotel, along with 12 friends. The staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. The service was excellent and the location was superb with views over the lake from all our rooms. All our friends thought the hotel was a perfect venue for our weekend celebration. The Winston' s Barn private dining room was fabulous.

As soon as you walk through the sliding entrance doors you feel at home. This feeling is then endorsed by the friendly reception staff. Rooms are very good, Catering is of a high standard but throughout our stay we were consistently impressed by the Staff. Thanks guys

A nice break overall. One criticism would be the shower needs a mat as the shower floor was very slippy. Food was very good and the staff excellent.

Good location
Spent 2 days here. Good location if your visiting Skipton, Malham Cove or Settle etc. Restaurant has a great view of the lake (which you can walk round), the staff are well presented and helpful (and plentiful) and the breakfast is excellent. Unfortunately our room overlooked the car park so we did not have the view on the picture.

Excellent Spa, disappointing room.
The SPA trip was excellent, not too busy and staff were very friendly. The main hotel was nice and clean. We were slightly disappointed with the age of the room. The bathroom shower was leaking on the shower head with mould on some of the silicon sealant. The TV in the room was very small compared with other hotels in the same price category.

You won’t be disappointed.
What can I say. Our stay was one of the best, if not the best stay I have ever had. I love this hotel. Beautiful grounds, beautiful food, beautiful building. I want to give a special mention to Thomas and Flo on reception. They were incredible. Breakfast to go was ready for 5.00am (we were hiking the three peaks) and nothing was too much for these two staff. Flo was so helpful and friendly and Thomas was such a delight to deal with. The spa: WOW! Pricey but worth it. Wonderful. I’ll see this hotel soon!

The hotel was great but the expedia web site stated whilst staying we would have accto the pool. I then had to pay £60 extra for this and i think Expedia has miss led me. Regards Paul nutter

The fact I’d paid £204 per night only to be told we had to pay £40 per head for 2 hours use of pool!! This is a complete rip off!

Weekend Bed & Breakfast stay
Two night stay in a classic room with breakfast. To be honest I was expecting a lot more for over £400 for 2 nights. The room was clean and comfortable but there was no bath and really is on a par with a Premier Inn. When we enquired at reception about using the pool & outdoor hot tub we are told it would cost a further £80 per couple for two hours! I’ve stayed in lots of spa hotels and never been asked to pay an extra supplement to use leisure facilities. The breakfast on both mornings was very pleasant, good choice of both cooked and continental options using good quality ingredients and all well cooked. All in all, we both felt that for £400+ the wow factor was missing, and not being able to have a swim in the pool unless we forked out another £80 was rather greedy. Leisure facilities included it would have been a fair price, but it’s slightly sorted out stay and for that reason I’d look to book elsewhere in the future. I explained all the above to reception when we checked out who did welcome the feedback. I don’t think I’m the first to comment on this issue!
