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.

Beautiful room, comfortable bed, quality linens and spotlessly clean. Nice to have coffee making facilities in the room and appreciated the seating and storage spaces. Breakfast was excellent, as was food ordered at other times. Unlike many other places there is plenty of free parking, and it’s a great base location for walks and trips around the area.

    Upper quality pub inn, situated right on the lake. Friendly helpful staff, excellent dinner menu and choices, highly recommend the Game and dumpling casserole and the steak and ale pie. Hearty, quality meals. The breakfast from the self service selection could be kept hotter, but the food quality was excellent. Highy recommend the Coniston Inn.

    We were blown away with our stay. Comfy rooms, really friendly staff who went above and beyond, great atmosphere and really tasty food. Our dog was also made to feel very welcome. The Crown Inn has elevated itself to the go-to place in Coniston.
