Elim House

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.

A wonderful stay. Friendly welcome, secure parking and lovely warm room. Would stay again

We enjoyed our stay at Elim house and we will totally consider it in our next visit to Windermere. Highly recommended.

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

Great location. Building. Nice and quiet. Hosts are great too

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.

The hotel is close to restaurants and shops but located in quiet area. The room is clean and comfortable.

Great location for walking to lake, comfy room and bed, bars and restaurants round the corner, all good

Not so good experience for us The property is tired and in need of a refurbishment.furniture in our room was very old and Missmatched during our 2 day stay we saw nearby properties offering much better accommodation for a lesser price It was also not clear on the website that breakfasts are not provided . Im not a person that normally leaves reviews but very disappointed.

Comfortable rooms and great location

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.

We will be coming back it was the perfect break

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.

Great location and friendly hosts

Arrived 15:15 where we met another guest in car park. He went 5mins ahead of us to check in. When we arrived he was sitting at a table outside. He said he'd rang the bell. We also rang bell. Greeted by Mark holding a baby (adults only?) saying "Yes" as though who are you? Taken aback we explained "we have a booking." "You better come in." We were then told, due to a bereavement the cleaner could not make it, so the room not ready and will be an hour. "You can wait here or go for a walk. "YOU DONT HAVE ANY OPTION REALLY." We then had to leave our luggage in an unsecure room with other luggage. The other guest had travelled for 5 hours and was looking forward to getting into his room, and having a cuppa. We were not offered anything!!!! We were informed mark knew about situation at midday over 3 hours earlier, but didn't think to text us. YET!!! On our last day he emailed and texted at 9am reminding me we had to be out at 10:30. Imo this text was intended to hit notification tone on my phone to ensure we were awake!!!!! We did not see him again throughout our 2 night 3 day stay, untill we were leaving. Where he stood by front door like some kind of guard ensuring you left by 10:30. The other guest like us was not impressed either, and like us won't be back. Yes understand unforseen circumstances! But he had 3 hours notice. Put tea/coffee juice out? You're in hospitality......Be hospitable? Disappointed as cheaper options were available at time of booking. Not impressed!!!!!!!

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!

Lovely hotel - staff so friendly- situated in the heart of bowness just perfect

Friendly welcome and also farewell from Mark - Lovely place and well placed to do all we wanted to do at an affordable price. Maybe just needs a new firmer mattress on the bed.

Good communication from the host. Nothing to not like about the guest house. Everything provided for and lovely and quiet with close access to all amenities. Reason for the 4 star is that it is no frills. If you’re looking for a basic guest house at a reasonable price I would recommend it.

Very helpful and convenient to have an on-site electric vehicle charger. Even better to only be charged the cost incurred by the property.
