This hotel was recommended by Coniston Tourist Information, they have obviously never stayed there. The best thing about the Crown is its location in the centre of Coniston. Our twin room appeared to be a single with an extra bed and a certain amount of manouvering was required to reach the second bed. The shower cubicle was moldy, leaked and... more

Booked for 2 nights. Room was poor and very gloomy - bedsprings stuck in me, bedding was poor. Bathroom shower screen broken, shower broken - that was OK really but I couldn't cope with the hair in the plughole. Breakfast very unthrilling indeed and pots not all that clean. Still at least I hadn't booked for evening meal so was... more

Despite asking for a room with space for a travel cot, we were given a room directly above the bar and we were not warned that there was going to be live music until 12.30 am. The noise was unbearable - so bad that the floor and our baby's cot vibrated! Although it was a hot night night we had... more

We stayed 2 nights in the Crown hotel in April 2006. We picked it because it was a slightly cheaper than others in the village for B&B. The room was fairly big and clean. The bed was comfy and the breakfast enough to fuel up before a day's walking. The service was fair, nothing special. My sister stayed round the... more
