About Us
 | Conveniently located on the A65 Skipton to Kendal road, nestling in 1400 acres of beautiful Yorkshire Dales Scenery centred around a 24-acre lake, the privately-owned Coniston Hotel is perfect for leisure breaks, fine dining, weddings, conferencing and corporate activities. |
The hotel and its grounds form part of the Coniston Estate, home to the Bannister family for over 30 years. Inspired by the hospitality of the Bannisters themselves, the friendly staff at the Hotel are committed to delivering the highest standards of customer service and work hard to create an environment where every visitor becomes a regular guest. We offer a warm welcome to family groups and guests with pets, and all facilities are fully accessible for guests with disabilities.During your stay, we invite you to take the Woodland Walk through the Estate grounds, with its spectacular views, interesting landmarks and the chance to observe various birds in their natural habitats.

Dining
At the heart of every great hotel is the cuisine, and we are particularly proud of ours. The food at The Coniston Hotel is outstanding and justifiably famous amongst those who enjoy beautifully cooked and exquisitely presented food.
Our menus have an international flavour yet still maintain a strong Yorkshire tradition, with produce from the Coniston Estate featuring regularly. There are also a number of menu choices for the children. However, we believe that fine dining is about more than food alone – it is about the entire dining experience: combining the range of menu choices, taste and presentation of the food with friendly yet discreet service and the atmosphere and surroundings in which the food is served.
 | If you are looking for something more informal, you can also enjoy an inspired choice of food, fine wines and beers besides the open fire in our comfortable bar, or in our stunning new Orangery. |
We have private rooms available for lunches, dinners, parties and functions, accommodating small numbers for intimate dinners right up to buffet parties for 300 guests.
