A beautiful oak floored dining room offers superb views of Coniston Old Man and the surrounding peaks and fells. The large oak dining table and furniture provide ample room for the New Year meal.

The surrounding area has many low level walks to safely enjoy the snow, including a short walk down to Coniston Water through the woods on Torver Common – a memorable walk on a frosty morning.
