Elim House is well situated off the main street, yet still close enough to easily walk to restaurants and cafes in Bowness or down to Lake Windermere. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Outstanding location and beautiful room, the only issue is the bathroom we had in room #3 was ridiculously small. Besides that little issue it's a great spot.

The room was clean and spacious with a four poster bed which was quite comfortable. A small tv that was not smart so no apps. Sash windows overlooking the property entrance which was quite floral. The blinds cut out a great deal of light, so they are good if you don’t want early morning light. The shower/WC room was good although the fan is rather loud(especially if you wake in the night). There is a small light over the sinks mirror but searching in the dark is not great. A wooden wardrobe with plenty of hangers. A fan for warmer nights. Location was out of the town but not too far to walk(up or downhill), so nicely peaceful. Parking on the road is a little hit and miss, I believe there are parking spots but I mistakenly parked at Elim gardens and not Elim house, of which I had a reminder on my windscreen. Mark the host was very nice. All in all a good place to stay for a long weekend.

Great hosts and very clean - great experience

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.
