A truly beautiful pub hotel. Great friendly team, beautiful rooms, good food and real fire. Off road parking. Nothing to complain about at all. We will be back.

Spent a lovely evening eating at this pub. The food was delicious and the service from Jorge and Katie was excellent - welcoming and friendly. We have been many times over the years and this time really felt as though some of the old buzz and atmosphere was back. Will definitely be back again soon.

We had lunch after a very wet walk yesterday. Lunch was delicious. The venue is well presented and cosy in the bar area. Service was excellent. To top it off, my friend had a damaged knee and couldn’t walk back to Coniston. We were kindly driven back to Coniston by the Manager of the property. 5 stars*****. Thank you so much! We will be back. Good luck with the Inn as you develop the menu. Absolutely no faults. Just amazing!

Absolutely fabulous overnight stay. The place is spotless, the food was amazing. Rooms modern and comfortable despite it being a beautiful old building. Customer service was great too. Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Stayed in little Langdale and went for some drinks one night only to be met with the owners young children running around the bar area at gone 9:00pm. Went a few days later with the rest of the family for lunch sat inside with our dogs as the food came another dig walked into the pub our dogs wooffed for a few seconds before we calmed them down and they settled quietly only for the lady behind the bar to ask us to go outside because of the noise the dogs made. I refused the dogs were quiet and settled and we had just been served our food. Massive overreaction on the staffs part. So it looks like kids running free is acceptable but any noise from other sources is not. The beer is very expensive £1 dearer than in Great Langdale. All in all not a very welcoming Pub.

We have been coming here for some time. Unfortunately the place is now very expensive and a has a different feel. As the saying goes different strokes for different folk. Regrettably going forward we will not be stopping here. A shame as it is in a lovely location.

Room really nice. Food was amazing and just very friendly feel. I will definitely be staying again this year I recommend to anyone.
