The Coniston Hotel Country Estate & Spa - Skipton

Overall, 3.5* for our dinner/bed/breakfast/ spa visit, which had been bought as a birthday present for £400. Negatives: The room makes up over half the value of the voucher. It is spacious, clean and functional but feels very "budget". The bed was made up of 2 single beds pushed together. The electric heater on the wall and tea/coffee facilities also had a cheap feel. We spent over £500on a 1 night stay including spa treatment so was hoping for a room facing the lake+dales rather than a car park. I've seen comments from others that they would move you to a lake view room if you pay extra! Positives: The spa was extremely nice and we both enjoyed the facilities, especially the outdoor jacuzzi when the sun was going down and the stars were coming out on a cold Jan evening. The evening meal was really tasty. I had fish of the day (sea bream) and chocolate brownie which was excellent. The staff were good, but after asking for our bill it took them 30minutes to sort which was annoying ("dinner" in the deal means £35allowance per person, you have to pay the difference). Breakfast was ok. We had a table by the window which did provide a good view. The bean portion was tiny;the tomato was undercooked. I declined mushrooms and black pudding but the other bits were ok. 2 sausage would be nice. We went for a walk around the grounds before we left, which is highly recommended. Overall I would recommend the spa+restaurant - they were excellent, but I think the room+breakfast at the premier inn down the road would be better for a fraction of the price.

After a mix up with our room last year we were kindly invited back again, and WOW- our stay was absolute perfection! All of the staff were amazing and our room (one of the Dales suites) was absolutely fabulous. A big thank you also to Hazel on reception who checked us in and out Thank you once again, we it was a perfect start to our Christmas and we will definitely be back in 2025.

Staff made the stay so nice. Helpful with booking, check in and mostly leave you alone unless needed. The Grounds are Beautiful and perfect for a morning walk! Close to Several small towns and good quality restaurants. Great atmosphere at the pool with mix of all kind of guest working really well with a happy vibe. Room was so peaceful.

Great hotel and a perfect location for Yorkshire Dales and surrounding towns of Skipton and Ilkley. The hotel was perfect and the staff so friendly and helpful. The food was excellent and our room was really comfortable with stunning views overlooking the lake and hills. Everyone made us feel so welcome and I would highly recommend a visit

We’ve often drove pass on our way up to Settle and said how we would love to stay - you can imagine are delight when we was given a voucher as a Xmas present. Booking in was easy and the receptionist Eve was a breath of fresh air with her big smile and providing all the information we required. The room was very spacious with plenty of storage / iron and board/water/tea & coffee / large double bed and a walk in shower - saying all that the room was a little tired and could of done with some tlc see photos. We did eat in the view restaurant which is set out lovely -we didn’t manage to get a table by the window instead we sat near the open fire which was lovely. I didn’t think the food was to a AA rosette standard in fact we thought it was over priced and very average. Breakfast was totally different lots of selections - the eggs Benedict was the best I’d ever had and the staff were very warm and welcoming. I cannot comment on the spa as we didn’t take advantage of the facilities but wish we had as some of the guest who had used the facility said it was fabulous. Next time we drive passed we can say “ we’ve stayed there”
