Enjoy being spoilt at a Coniston Guest House

Staying at a Coniston Guest House is a great way to combine freedom and pampering!

Why not wake up to a delicious home-cooked breakfast, before setting out on your day to walk on the Fells or exploring the Lakes?

If you are going to the top of Coniston Old Man or Wetherlam and need a packed lunch, the The Village Pantry in the centre of Coniston sells freshly cut sandwiches and other picnic delicacies.

One of my favourite spots for lunch in Coniston, if we get off the Fells early enough, is to pop over to Jumping Jenny.

If you are staying at a Coniston Guest House then why not try one of the local pubs for your evening meal? In fact why not stay at one of Coniston Pubs, many of them also do B & B.

Bank Ground Bank Ground Farm My Dad has always loved Arthur Ransome's series on the Swallows and Amazons. We even had our own 'clinker built' boat on Coniston for many years. So when he was looking for a Guest House in Coniston a couple of years ago, Bank Ground (upon which Holly Howe in Swallows and Amazons was based), seemed the obvious choice.
