    The circular from coniston can be a bit strenuous in places, if you drive to it, its worth every penny of the parking fee, give yourself plenty of time to really explore this beautiful place properly.

    Excellent location, clean room, great breakfast included. Staff helpful and very friendly. We will definitely return to the Black Bull for another short break when in the area. Great for walks from the hotel, we walked to Tarn Hows one day and did the Old Man and Swirl How on our other day. No need to drive at all! Great pub food too.
