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.
