Beautiful area, lots of paths for hiking, if you are prepared for bad weather. There is a little convenience store in the village with everything you could ever need, the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Coppermines were interesting and a wonderful venue for a wedding.

Great location, perfect for paddleboarding on the lake (if safe to do so) and perfect to do The Old Man of Coniston loop which you can start from the village car park or the hotel... Brilliant for dogs

A day was enough to fit in a trip on the lake, the Ruskin Museum and the array of shops. Don't go looking for Donald Campbell's grave in the church cemetery, it's in the village cemetery off Hawkshead Old Road. Didn't do any walking or drive to other villages, but it would be a good base location for this.

Coniston is a beautiful town. I have been visiting since I was a teenager. You are never far from breathtaking walks in fabulous scenery. My favourite walks in the area would be Tilberthwaite, Hodge Close, towards Tarn How's, towards the Langdales, and of course around on on the Coniston Water itself. Coniston Water is one of my favourite of the Lakes. There is so much going on and to do, but it never seems too busy. It is a very pretty lake, whatever the time of year but especially magical in the winter snow or at sunset. The cafes and pubs are of Coniston are some of my favourites in the district - the Black Bull and The Ship and Herdwick's in particular. I have stayed in many places in the town: I have never once been disappointed wherever I have stayed. Coniston is a town but has the charm of a village - not too commercial, but catering to many needs.

Coniston is quite a small town and unless you are walking, climbing, swimming or other sporting activities that one would carry out in the lake district I feel that any more than 2 or 3 nights you would be stuck for things to do. Other than that it is an excellent place to stay the venue is brillient, my first stay at the YHA was the previous year. I had never stayed in a YHA before and I must admit the experience was very different from my original expectations it was first class.
