Who owns the Coniston hotel?
Set within the grounds of a breathtaking 1400-acre estate, the coniston hotel country estate & spa has been owned by the bannister family for more than 50 years. The bannister family took over the estate in 1969 and built the current coniston hall in 1972. His ivy-clad 71-bedroom hotel is beside the lake, which is topped by the swans that double as this destination’s logo.
