About The Black Bull Inn and Hotel
Packed lunches made up for a day on the fells set the tone at The Black Bull Inn and Hotel, a traditional pub-hotel on Yewdale Road in Coniston. With 11 rooms spread across two floors, it works equally well as a base for walkers heading up the Old Man of Coniston or those simply looking to explore Coniston Water and the surrounding village.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks laid on, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children. Downstairs there's a restaurant and bar serving breakfast and evening meals, plus a garden and outdoor seating area with a picnic spot for warmer days. Free WiFi, laundry service and 24 hour reception cover the practical side of a stay, and free on-site parking is provided.
Pets are welcome, and the inn sits within easy reach of fishing, cycling and walking routes, along with nearby pubs, restaurants and watersports for anyone wanting more than the fells. It's a straightforward, well-placed spot for getting out into the Lake District rather than staying in.
People say this pub offers an excellent selection of locally brewed real ales and traditional pub food, with generous portions. They also highlight the friendly and accommodating staff, cozy atmosphere with a fireplace, and dog-friendly environment.
Some reviews mention the food can be overpriced.
