The Coniston Hotel Country Estate & Spa - Skipton

We got a really good rate through the Trip website. Kelsey on reception changed our room because there was no bath in the first room. The staff at the hotel were very smartly dressed. The food at breakfast was excellent. We are two nights in Macleod. Again the food was excellent. We would recommend this hotel. The only negative was if you hadn’t booked a spa break you had to pay £30 each to use the pool.

We went for Sunday lunch. The service and food was excellent. I had the roast beef- it was delicious. My dad had fish and chips and he enjoyed it too. We went to the Xmas fayre and that was lovely. A great way to spend a Sunday. We will definitely return.

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

This was a Birthday treat from my children and what a treat it was. We arrived at the hotel in the afternoon and had drinks and nibblesin the bar first followed by a couple of hours in the spa which is situated just a very short walk from the hotel, the spa staff were very informative about the spa facilities. We spent a lovely afternoon there and had a cocktail from the outside bar. A meal followed later in the View restaurant, my husband had the steak and it was cooked beautiful. I had the best nights sleep in a long time Breakfast in the morning was great, plenty to choose from, we had cereal and a full cooked breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful

Excellent place and tailored service from all staff. Particular mentions to Simran, Jen, Anna Catherine and lovely girl on reception. Great food and pastry chef. Great for couple's. Spa was great as drinks are brought to you. Great location and will definitely be returning.

My handsome chap and I visited for the weekend for his birthday. I initially booked the clay pigeon shooting and then the hotel. I had asked for a bottle of bubbly on arrival seeing as it’s a special occasion and it was chilling waiting for us when we arrived. Our room was lovely. Massive bed, plenty of storage, pretty views over the lake and really clean. Breakfast was good. Nice selection of continental and a decent full English. The hotel is in driving distance of Skipton Castle which was ace and Malham Cove which was a nice cob web blowing meander. On the Sunday we went clay pigeon shooting on the estate. Massive shout out to James, Sue and especially Jim. Who at 78 years young was patient, helpful and good fun. I had never been clay pigeon shooting before and I’d love to do it again. We shot pretend Teal, pigeon, rabbits and a few more to boot. Really well organised and just lovely people. Back at the hotel we had a fabulous Sunday lunch served by Jen and her team. Social thanks to Jen, Leanne and Beth. They honestly couldn’t have done enough for us. Professional, sweet and helpful. They even sang Happy Birthday to my lovely man…..and brought chocolate cake and a candle!! Jen was fabulous. So accommodating and lovely. The food was fabulous and we had all we needed on site. Didn’t manage to make it to the spa but will do next time. We wandered up and it looked beautiful. Lots of facilities and a lovely pool. The couples retreat and the romantic baths outside looked like a perfect place to watch the sunset. We will definitely have a day there next time we visit. The receptionists Eva and Cheryl couldn’t have been more welcoming. They were so helpful and kind. We had a little problem with the WIFI but Eva got David the estates manager to fix it for us. Again he was helpful and kind. The staff here really make this place. Everyone was so lovely and really made our stay a relaxing one. Can’t wait to go back and sample the spa and maybe try some archery this time!
