I'm not quite sure what the reviews rating average wanted for their money. Granted, it's not a 5* hotel, but it's a great bed and breakfast offering friendly service for really reasonable rates. I was given single occupancy of a twin room for £30 - I think rates are from £27. This was for a room with a shared bathroom... More

The hotel felt slightly out of date; room smelt damp with mould patches visible in bed and bathrooms), location slightly out of town, bed not too comfy. But good value accommodation for Coniston which is a lovely and picturesque town, the owner Ken was very welcoming and hospitable, there is a lounge and garden area if you don't want to... More

Not a lot of character here: the muzzle-loading fowling pieces in the lounge are vaguely interesting but the owner didn't have much to say about them. Pump dispensers in the shower cubicle meant less waste than other places. The shower was ok, breakfast was good, butbthe packed lunch was a real rip-off (£6 each for 2 rounds of sandwiches made...

Very friendly and helpful staff. Beding has been updated since last year. The private garden is an added bonus when you have a dog but also nice to sit in the sun looking at the view. More

I stayed at Bluebird Lodge for two nights and my only disappointment was I could not stay longer. The room was spotlessly clean and Ken and his team provided a wonderful customer service standard. Breakfast was excellent and cooked to a very high standard. I hope to return soon. Visitor from Cornwall More

We stayed for two nights here as a group of four. The owner was very friendly and accommodating and there weren't a swathe of rules to adhere to. He encouraged us to use the lounge by providing a bottle opener and a real fire and for once we headed straight back here after our evening meal rather than going to... More

Booked the Bluebird Lodge based on reviews of people that have actually stayed here!!, it was a last minute thing for us, Ken took my call promptly and politely, despite my call being in the middle of his breakfast service that morning! (sorry ken), it was all no fuss, 3 hours later we were met with a polite smile and... More

If your looking for 5* luxury, and I'm quite partial to that, then you would be looking at the wrong place. But if given the choice of B&B in the Bluebird Lodge or a luxury 5* hotel then the Bluebird would win every time for me. The whole package is just home from home beautiful setting, good food and a...
