its a lovely hotel, fabulous view, comfortable accomodation. the lake walk is pleasant, and the walkway maintained to make it reasonably accessible but not fully pushchair / wheelchair capable. its great that its dog friendly and animals are allowed in and around the place food is very nice, all made to a very high standard. it is pricy but its very pleasant and you dont feel short changed. a good location for a special event.

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.

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.
