Fab location

Fab location with stunning view from the breakfast room. Near enough to walk into Coniston main town within 5-10 minutes. Great that parking was available. Pub just across the road serving good food. Tracey was friendly and amenable. Great breakfast. Compact room but perfectly adequate.

B&B in a lovely location with very nice hosts. Our room was quite noisy with a lot of noise from above us and a dreadful noise from the plumbing when other rooms ran their taps. That aside we enjoyed our stay here.
