Great stay
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.

A pleasant stay
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.

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.

Check-in was easy and very pleasant. My room was lovely and snelled fresh and clean. There was a hospitality tray with tea, coffee biscuits. Mark was very helpful in outlining the area, and directing me to the lake. As a solo traveller I felt safe and comfortable at Elim House.

Comfortable room.
Huge comfortable bed. Good breakfast. Friendly, approachable host but not ‘in your face’ - just right. The decor is a little dated but it didn’t spoil our stay.

More of a hotel than a B&B
Very busy with several guests, several stairs to our room. Impersonal host who hardly communicated and seemed businesslike. Was expecting a smaller homely B&B. The girl who served breakfast was polite but breakfast was minimal. Positive is location. Well positioned and close to shops and eateries

Excellent place, very friendly owner
We stayed at Elim House because we attended a wedding in Bowness-on-Windermere. The owner went out of his way to help us park our car around the back, and we generally very welcoming and provided us with local information. The location is perfect for visiting Bowness and the centre is just a short walk away. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

nice BB with a nice garden
I stayed for 2 nights in a room on the top floor (2nd floor). It was cozy but unfortunately the window directly opposite to the bed did not close so I got a cold. Other than that, I have no complain.
