The Elleray

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

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.

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

Absolutely wonderful weekend away. So many positives - perfect location, the town was literally downstairs, staff were just wonderful and bent over backwards to accommodate our needs. They were also amazingly lovely with my 4 year old. Food was divine! We ate downstairs in the pub in the first night and enjoyed it so much we returned the next night. The breakfast was super, one of the best full English breakfasts we’ve had. The room was well decorated, huge tv, spacious, had Netflix, Wi-Fi, plenty of storage and a welcome tray. Nothing was too much for the staff. The bed wasn’t too comfy though, but this was minor compared to everything else. We had an absolutely wonderful weekend and chose to come back early from our trips out so we could make the most of the comfort in the room and hotel.

Another fantastic stay. So clean and comfortable. Breakfasts were superb. The owner never stops

Fabulous place Great breakfast Warm and friendly

We stayed here for two nights and had a lovely time. The room was abit on the small side but the hotel and the beer garden were really nice. The breakfast was delicious.

Stay was really nice breakfast was lovely, riom was nice & clean, the Major problem we experienced is the bed comfort was vet poor due to it being a small double bed it was tiny ruined the weekend to be honest as we didnt sleep at all
