Rooms clean, Mark made us feel welcome. Good location 10 minutes from the lake 5 minutes walk from the shops and restaurants. Good base if you wish to explore more of the towns by bus or car .

Host was very welcoming. Room was comfortable and clean. Host kept us up to date on where best to park on arrival. Close to shops, restaurant's and short walk to lake side. Most enjoyable stay.
Our first stay and we would definitely stay again. We had a small problem with our booking and the hosts couldn’t have been more accommodating - really helped us out. Room 10 is beautiful, lots of space, massive bed and a great tea tray! Parking was fine and onsite. Great location and the garden is lovely to sit in too. A really lovely place to stay.
Elim House was absolutely perfect - it’s close to shops and restaurants and is an easy walk from Lake Windermere. I would definitely stay here again!

Liked: Cleanliness
Although it’s saying bed & breakfast on the sign that is barely visible it’s not and if you don’t do stairs make sure you’re on a low floor and the shower cubicle was small in room 6
Excellent location and the room was spotless, a great base to visit the lakes and the short walk down to the lake Windermere.
Mark and Grace are the perfect hosts would highly recommend.

Stayed in coach house, just have to be careful on stairs outside. Good location, nice garden at the front of property.
Lovely small h, with kind, helpful,friendly staff.
We had a lovely stay here. There is on street parking, and also you can park at the back.
The hotel owner was friendly and helpful with any advice you needed with regard to nearby walks and amenities.
We came with friends for a seventies themed murder, mystery night. The photo you see was taken in the hotel's front garden.
The hotel was also very close to all amenities.
The room was comfortable and we were well supplied with towels and toiletries.
I think the room was good value for money, considering this is Windermere.
I would recommend this hotel for couples or friends and family.
Everything was comfortable and clean. Loved the extra space on our room. (And Mark even upgraded us!)
Location was steps from Bowness highlights. Would love to return if possible.
Mark was very friendly and accommodating to our questions or requests. The room was very clean and was everything that we needed for a base following our biking activities and a wedding evening do. Only downside was that you couldn’t eat breakfast on-site but we found plenty of places that did breakfast in Bowness within walking distance down the road.
