The Elleray

Perfect! Would definitely return if...

Liked: Fantastic location in beautiful Windermere; just a couple of minutes walk from the train station. We had a fantastic evening meal in the well stocked bar area; I had a fab vegan aubergine and walnut lasagne and my sister had the fish and chips which she said was delicious. The apple crumble for dessert was also fantastic! Lovely breakfast with plenty of coffee with fruit juices and cereals also available. The lady who runs the hotel is exceptionally helpful, friendly and an absolute delight; all the staff are wonderful. Can highly recommend The Elleray!

Lovely stay

Liked: Great locationGreat staffGreat breakfast
Disliked: Lack of parking

Wouldn’t recommend for restful stay!

Liked: The location, the breakfast, the room facilities themselves, the freebies. The Elleray makes for a great pub, but a bad hotel.
Disliked: The god awful noise from the pub until 3am preventing us from getting ANY sleep. The room wasn’t completely clean, with cobwebs and bits in the carpet. Though the bed was comfortable, it was sloped outwards, so my partner and I nearly fell out a few times in the night. The air was so dry in the room that we woke super dehydrated too.

Enjoyed our stay staff were...

Liked: Breakfast was well cooked, tasty and followed what we ordered the night before. The decoration of the inside of the hotel
Disliked: The decoration of the inside of the hotel is badly needed to be upgraded. There is mould on the window frames in our room.

Very good

Very poor

Liked: The bar & dining areas were lovely & the food was very good.
Disliked: Our room was very small, with peeling wallpaper, scuffed walls, stained rugs & the room didn't look like it had been hoovered. The advertised wardrobe was just a pole across a tiny alcove & a curtain & there wass gap under the main door. There was no advertised WiFi, no one came in the room to tidy or replace cups & glasses & it was very noisy especially from outside as it was above the beer garden. The only good thing about the room is thankfully the bedding was clean, however the pillows were lumpy. The only real saving grace was the breakfast was very nice & plentiful however we had to ask for toast.

Exceptional

Liked: The location was super central - close to lots of restaurants in Windermere. We chose to use the open-top hop on/hop off bus service to visit Grasmere, Ambleside & Bowness as the bus stop is close by. The breakfast was big & delicious and the service was super. Thanks for a lovely holiday :)

Brilliantly positioned pub with rooms,...

Liked: Very friendly and welcoming host and appreciated the gesture of a room upgrade

A pleasant 2 night stay.

Liked: Central and the staff were very pleasant.
Disliked: Nothing
