Following on from the Government announcement with regards to the flexing of coronavirus restrictions on the 19th July we wanted to share with you our latest COVID-19 Update. Although certain policies and protocols have been relaxed, here at The Coniston our colleagues will continue with some measures, such as wearing face masks and PPE, for a little while longer.

This important and poignant Prime Minister's update follows an uncertain and unprecedented sixteen months, so we would like to again express our complete gratitude to you - our customers, colleagues and community - for the support you have shown us throughout these testing times. Thank you.

Now, this is the moment that we have all been waiting for, freedom is on the horizon and we look towards the future with excitement and hope - we cannot wait to welcome you back to The Coniston!

With very best wishes,

The Bannister Family & The Coniston Hotel Country Estate & Spa Team
