Had the potential to be brilliant, unfortunately let down by poor facilities.
Pros:

Spacious room, comfortable bed, friendly staff, generous breakfast. Great location in the middle of Coniston village

Cons:

Unfortunately the shower in our room (no 3) did not work. The manager, Dan, adapted quickly and allowed us to use the staff accommodation shower. It was a very busy evening in the pub and this was a quick solution, especially after we had been hiking all day.

However, our shower was not fixed during our stay and the following morning we did not want to use the staff accommodation again so we chose to forgo a shower.

Despite the staff knowing our inconvenience, we were not offered a discount or complimentary drinks or food, which would have been appropriate given the circumstances.

Had a good time but maybe wouldn’t stay here again.
Pros:

The room itself is a good size and has coffee tea etc and the bed is very comfy. We’ve stayed here before which is why we returned and very dog friendly.

Cons:

Where to begin…
We arrived on New Year’s Eve and were advised by the manager that there had been a loss of water pressure to the shower in our room making it unusable. He explained that a plumber had attended and confirmed it was fixed; however, this unfortunately wasn’t the case. The only alternative offered was use of the staff bathroom, which wasn’t ideal, but as there were no other rooms available and we were staying for a couple of nights, we accepted this.
We were able to use the shower the following morning without issue. However, the next morning my husband went to use the staff bathroom and was met by a staff member who was asleep and was woken when he entered. The staff member then returned to sleep, which left me feeling uncomfortable using the facilities afterwards.
The manager did apologise and kindly waived the fee for our dog and offered a complimentary drink on the first night. He also advised, on the day of our departure, that he would contact us to arrange a partial refund, as we had paid a significant amount and had not been able to use the shower in our own room.
In addition to this, the following morning the chef did not turn up for breakfast, and we were initially turned away. When we returned an hour or so later, we were able to have breakfast, but with a very limited menu.
The WiFi was also not working during our stay, and with poor mobile signal in the area, this made access to our phones quite difficult.
Overall, this experience has made me question whether I would return to the Yewdale, which is a real shame as we visit Coniston multiple times every year and have always liked staying there.
I would appreciate it if the manager could contact me, as he advised he would do and hasn’t yet.

An excellent bolt hole in Coniston.
Pros:

The room was really comfortable, clean, and spacious. The food was delicious and they had great vegan options - the kitchen were really kind and happy to cater to fussy eaters. The staff were amazing - every single person we interacted with was friendly and helpful and really made our stay even more enjoyable. It was easy to have our dog both in the pub / restaurant and in the room.
