The Elleray

The breakfast is delicious. Staff is nice and helpful. The view outside the window is beautiful.

Great location right in the heart of Windermere. The room was spotless and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent and freshly cooked. Various choices available. We didnt eat in the bar but it was obvious those who did thoroughly enjoyed theirs. The staff were really friendly and couldnt do enough for you, very efficient. The landlady! What can i say! I have never seen anybody as hardworking. She deserves a medal she was always doing something but was never too busy to help if needed. Very enjoyable stay. Thankyou all.

The Elleray is pub/hotel it’s a traditional old building with sash windows, a dining area/lounge, bar and an outdoor beer garden. For the age and style of the building it was very clean in the rooms and public areas. The rooms are comfortable with a big telly, tea/coffee etc. The staff were excellent and friendly and helpful, the food was excellent as well and very tasty. They have a variety of drinks available including local guest ales although I didn’t try any, only thing I’d mention is if you’re a Guinness drinker it’s the nitro surge which isn’t that nice but that’s just personal choice. If you are in a vehicle parking is an issue, there’s no parking on site or in the road next door, you can park on the main road overnight but during the day it’s only for an hour but I managed ok whilst there, you can also park in the rail station car park which you pay for. If you’re travelling by train the station is literally on the same road just a few minutes away, there’s also an excellent Chinese restaurant next door which was very tasty and popular. Overall I’d definitely recommend the Elleray, it’s ideal if you’re in a car for exploring and if you’re a walker you’ll enjoy the hike up the road from Bowness! But even if you just want a nice little break in a nice area it’s great. The only thing I would point out is the noise from the beer garden, it wasn’t from the Elleray but a pub further down, it didn’t bother us but if it does you I’d ask for a room on the front or the side.

Enjoyed a drink in here on our holiday. But surely there should have been more than one member of bar staff on shift, and £10 for a salad? No thanks! Enjoyed my beer but I don’t think I’ll be back for food! Over priced food, not a lot of options and a shame for what it could be.

Stopped at the Elleray recently with family. Good food. Terrible customer service, and generally unpleasant atmosphere. Don’t stay here!

We had a most enjoyable and restful stay at the Elleray. The Room was to a great standard and exceptionally clean. We were greeted by a lovely lady who helped us and gave us lots of local useful information. The breakfast was first class and the evening meal and pale ale was delightful! The local lakes pink gin my wife thoroughly enjoyed. Such a friendly team of people! We look forward to visiting again soon.

2nd time we have stayed here. Great location, really friendly, excellent breakfast. Cant fault it, will be staying again.

Fabulous place Great breakfast Warm and friendly
