Book a hotel near John Ruskin Museum, Coniston

"The hotel is set in the picture book village of Hawkshead. The place itself is a beautiful old house with original features throughout. The rooms are a good size with really comfortable beds and are pet friendly. The village itself is beautiful, with several different places to eat and within walking distance of Ambleside (6 miles). The service at Ivy House was excellent. Greeted by the friendly owner with a bottle of fresh water and shown to our room. You can also text the owners your breakfast order the night before and specify what time you would like to eat which I thought was a great touch. If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing stay, with a view to doing some walking or sightseeing, with the option of excellent food in cosy pubs, I couldn't recommend Ivy House any higher."

"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. "
