The Church House

This was my second stay of the year at the Church House Inn, staying with a friend in the twin room earlier on in the year and this time with my family over the August Bank Holiday in the family room ( 7 ). I`ve reviewed the Church House a few times before, as it`s now my go to place to stay when staying in Coniston and Mark ( the owner / host ) has still maintained a wonderful place to stay both within the Inn, camping and the glamping pod. He`s still his cheery friendly self, with a wonderful sense of humour. I`d thought I`d do a list of why we choose to stay at the Church House Inn, over anywhere else in the area. Very reasonably rates compared to everywhere else. You can book single nights at the weekend, rather than being tied to a whole weekend. The rooms are lovely, finished to a high standard and very comfortable. Peaceful location. Enormous car park at the back. You can camp, glamp and motor home, as well as stay in the rooms. Wonderfully located for exploring all of the walks the area has to offer. The Wilsons pub just over the road serves great food and beer. Relaxed check in and check out times, which can fit around you, rather than being rigid. Mark is a great guy ! Plus, you`re helping support a local person, who is keeping a wonderful old historic building going. Why would you choose to stay anywhere else !

Just home from a one night stay at the Church house inn . We come up to the lakes every June bug have usually stayed in larger hotels in Windermere but this year we wanted to be more near coniston . This was ideal setting for where we needed to be . The owner was very welcoming and friendly . Gave us lots of helpful information and recommended the Wilson arms to eat which we had in fact already booked . Room was the smallest of them but it was comfortable . It was a lovely comfortable mattress . Had a peaceful nights sleep . If was too book Again would get one of the bigger rooms . Ideal for what we needed and clean . Thank you for a lovely stay

Great stay at the Glamping pod, all necessary facilities and hot tub, cleaned hot and running on arrival. Mark was very amenable and allowed for a small fee our friends to park beside the camping pod in their camper van. Cracking place, great for walks and Coniston not far away. Nothing was too much trouble, thank you Mark for a really pleasant stay. Kind regards Sean, Hev, Des and Carol.

We had a wonderful couple of nights winter 'camping' in our converted Landrover Field Ambulance. we stayed on one of the 5 dedicated pitches with electric hook up. Mark the owner was fantastic from booking to welcoming us and even helping provide some materials to repair one of boots!! Facilities although basic were very clean and have good hot water supply. The Wilsons pub across the road is a great place to eat and the small well stocked deli next the pub has some lovely treats and basics. If you want a quiet place to stay with likeminded camping folk with access to many walks from the site this is for you. Thanks for a great stay Mark, see you next time!!

We have just had a two night stay in the glamping pod. We had a lovely time. It was extremely well equipped and Mark was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be returning.

This was the second time we`ve stayed at the Church House Inn ( family room no 7 ) and this stay was every bit as good as the first. We stayed this time over the Bank Holiday weekend in August, so everywhere in the area was busy. As usual, the owner, Mark was his normal cheerful and helpful self and nothing was too much trouble for him. Our room was spacious, comfortable and really well appointed, with plenty of tea and coffee. There`s a bit of road noise from the road outside, but not enough to bother you as we all slept like logs ! The campsite at the back seems to be slowly evolving into a bigger site too, as Mark develops the place. Mark no longer does breakfasts at the Church House Inn, but the Wilsons Arms just over the road does a good selection and you don`t have to book either. The Church House Inn really is the most informal place I`ve stayed at anywhere near Consiton or the Lakes for that matter, as Mark always tries his best to accommodate everyone with things like check in / check out times and will always point you in the right direction of anything you`re looking for like walks or places to eat etc. The Church House Inn has now become our first choice of places to stay as a family when staying in the Coniston area.
