Located on the shores of Coniston Water with sensational lake and fell views, this classic Lakeland slate building is the perfect place if you’re looking to escape the crowds. Formerly The Waterhead Hotel, our stunning location will make us the perfect base from which to explore the Lake District National Park.

A warm Cumbrian welcome is in store at The Coniston Inn for everyone stepping through our doors. Muddy boots, paws and wheels are all welcome at The Coniston Inn.

Surrounded by breathtaking walks around our private grounds and among the surrounding fells, it’s a dog walking paradise. We offer dog friendly accommodation in designated rooms if you’re staying overnight with your dog.
