In the charming Lake District village of Coniston, less than 0.5 miles from Coniston Water, The Crown Inn has a relaxed pub and bright rooms.

A menu of classic British dishes, including home-made pies, is served in the pub bar and dining room. The Crown Inn also offers freshly cooked full English breakfasts, with food made using local produce where possible.

Loved that the pub was co-located with the rooms. The staff were fabulous and it had a very comfortable feel all around. The food was delicious and some of the best we have had

This traditional Lake District inn is set in the quiet village of Far Sawrey. Just 1 mile from Lake Windemere, and surrounded by wildlife and countryside that inspired Beatrix Potter on nearby Hill Top Farm, this hotel offers cosy, refurbished accommodation, hearty food, local ales, and open fires.

Amazing staff. Extremely nice and helpful. Loved that I could literally take my dog everywhere with me. They made me and her feel so welcome and at home. I absolutely loved the fireplaces around the place too. LOVED the waffles with bacon and syrup too. Thank you for making my stay just what I needed.
