Fab location

Fab location with stunning view from the breakfast room. Near enough to walk into Coniston main town within 5-10 minutes. Great that parking was available. Pub just across the road serving good food. Tracey was friendly and amenable. Great breakfast. Compact room but perfectly adequate.

Long weekend break

My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in apartment 2. We found it very homely and comfortable with great views of Old Man Coniston. Perfectly located to explore Coniston by foot, and the local vicinity by car. Tracey was extremely welcoming and helpful, and provided a good choice of cooked or continental breakfasts. Would definitely recommend, and will hopefully return in the future.

Lovely stay, amazing views

Bluebird Lodge was a lovely place to spend a couple of nights, very welcoming and a suberb breakfast. The location is wonderful if you prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle but still close enough should you want to use the amenities of Coniston. Fab view from the breakfast room. Only disappointment was the shower, very feeble and difficult to use due to poor pressure, a common problem with showers off the bath mixer tap.

Enjoyable Stay

We enjoyed our stay at Bluebird Lodge, which has a fantastic view from the Dining Room of the Old Man of Coniston. Michael served us excellent breakfasts with good tea and coffee from Tracy. The super king-size bed was very comfortable and the room had good tea/coffee facilities. Michael and Tracy kindly provided us with any information we required on Steam Gondola services etc, excellent hosts.

We had a lovely few days at Bluebird Lodge. The hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Breakfast, looking out from the sunroom, was excellent. Bluebird Lodge is a five minute walk into the main townsite where there is a choice of local pubs and restaurants. Highly recommended.

Bluebird Lodge a lovely place for peace and quiet

The Hotel was very well presented a lovely room and very clean set in its own grounds and very quiet
The owners were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble
Bluebird Lodge is only 5 minutes walk on a safe enclosed path from the village of Coniston which has plenty of places for an evening meal
The best cooked breakfast I have had and they try to cater to your requests
Lovely breakfast room overlooking the mountains what more can you ask for
