This is a lovely traditional inn, I arrived soaked and exhausted and in need of recouperation, the staff and the setting made me feel instantly at home, after a few beers by the fire I was well on my way to feeling great. I can’t stress enough how friendly and helpful the staff are. The room was comfortable and well enough equipped, wifi is half decent despite being in the middle of the hills. It’s a beautiful location with dozens of great walks on the doorstep. Prices are high in the area but this place was reasonable for what you get. I had a big proper breakfast with copious bacon included in the price, felt it was great value.
This traditional Lake District inn is set in the quiet village of Far Sawrey.

We loved that the inn was dog friendly as its hard to find nice dog friendly inns/hotels. The food was delicious, we had both our evening meal and breakfast there. We found the owners to be very lovely and super helpful. To top it all off, the inn was situated in a beautiful area, and the view was breathtaking. The bed was so comfortable, it was hard to get out of.
Featuring exposed stone walls, oak beams, and a cosy log-burning stove, this inn was built around 400 years ago and features free Wi-Fi and free parking on site.

We had the Wordsworth suite and was two rooms one a bedroom the other a lounge.
Very comfortable stay, just wish the bed had been slightly larger.
Very clean and nice views from both bedrooms. Hopefully we will be back one day!

The countryside and roads around Torver are stunning, there are vistas all around. It is ideally situated for hiking etc. The village itself is little more than a linear collection of houses, with one pub and one deli. This isn't an issue as Coniston is a short drive away and features all the shops you could realistically need. If walking, expect around a 1.5 to 2 hour round trip.
The main road through the village is a 40mph zone, however some of the locals do like to put their foot down, and some of their vehicles can be quite noisy, so it was not always as quiet as we had assumed it would be, however this didn't significantly impact our enjoyment of staying in Torver. Overall it is a great location from which to enjoy the Lake District.

This was our second stay here and it didn't disappoint. Beautiful location, great pub and friendly locals. Food here is spectacular but if you fancy a change there is The Blacksmiths Arms about 20 minute drive away. Very oldie worldy but again the food is totally worth it; the lamb is to die for. Another is the Ship Inn on the way into Coniston village. Proper pie served here not the flaky pastry lids you get in most other pubs. Travel wise you do need the car but then there is a nice 7-8 mile round trip walk down to coniston water, into the village then back up into Torver

The cottage was clean and bed comfortable. No hot water or heating. No one answering phone, so not able to get it fixed.
Hot tub in upstairs apartment very noisy all the time.
No one dealing with issues. Being promised that I’d be contacted and then being ignored.
Could have been so different if I’d been contacted.
Dealing with complaints is essential in a successful business.

The food was good, option of gluten free and vegetarian, also a gluten free beer at the bar.
Staff were friendly, polite and accommodating. The Wilson Arms has a cosy atmosphere.

Torver is not much more than a T junction but it is a beautiful area and footpaths will take you down to Coniston water and along to Coniston or up into the hills. There are two pubs / restaurants but only The Wilsons / Wilson’s Arms was open when we stayed there and they also operate a small deli shop.

Fantastic breakfast cooked to order each day, good selection.
Room was extremely comfortable with a beautiful new bathroom and well stocked toiletries and tea tray.
Parking easy, just a few minutes drive into Coniston or the other way into Torver.
Wonderful host, Stuart could have not done enough for me, extremely hospitable, thank you.
Smashing hosts the room was lovely! Shower super powerful just takes a while to come through but the host explains this. There is a nice continental breakfast I had cereal crumpets and fruit. Smashing value for money. There is a nice pub doing food a very short walk from this hotel and a decent evening walk into Conniston and back.
The Station Master’s House is full of character and Torver makes a great base for visiting the Lake District. The accommodation is comfortable, spacious and well-equipped for self-catering. The property has a lovely large garden with lots of plants and a pond to attract wildlife and birds. Great pub across the road.
Breakfast excellent, staff friendly, room and the whole place was very clean. Shower best I've ever had in any hotel. Laid back in a good way. Overall good value but needs some refinement.
