I enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea at The Coniston Hotel, where the warm welcome and attentive service by Janette made our birthday and anniversary celebration truly special. The selection of food was generous and delicious, especially the scones and pork pies. However, my overall experience was slightly mixed due to smaller room sizes and an overheard incident regarding limited vegetable portions at a charity event dinner, which felt a bit stingy considering the occasion.

While the hotel boasts fantastic spa facilities and a variety of activities, the dining experience left much to be desired with underwhelming meals and inconsistent quality.
