Mark truly went above and beyond as a host, welcoming us with a warm smile and making our stay so comfortable. He allowed us an early check-in, which was incredibly helpful. The rooms were not only nice but also spotlessly clean, and I was genuinely impressed by the fantastic wifi speed—definitely the best I’ve encountered in any property. Knowing I was working from the hotel that day, Mark checked in to see how everything was going, which made the experience even more enjoyable. He’s such a kind soul. The location was perfect, too—just a short 7-minute walk to the beautiful Windermere pier/lake, and a bus stop just 3 minutes away. We genuinely appreciated all the thoughtful touches that made our stay memorable.

N/A, we loved it!

The guest house was very close to the town centre and lake. Room was clean with a huge bed and plenty of tea and coffee on the hospitality tray. The communication before and after our stay was excellent.

Room a bit small but we were only there for 2 nights so ok for short stay. We were on the top floor in the attic and birds were frequently on the roof making scratching sounds. I found the shower hard to use, it wouldn’t get hot for me, however I’m not used to electric showers as I’ve never had one. My partner found it ok to use and had to get it to work for me. Room on the top floor so lots of stairs, but I suppose that’s the luck of the draw and it was a last minute booking.

Great location, good sized clean room, comfortable beds, quiet surroundings. Temperature was great considering the weather and there was also a fan just in case. Mark and Grace are good people, just the right level of helpful but also left us to do our thing and enjoy the stay. We’d been let down by another accommodation just 2 days before we were due to arrive, and glad we were now as we had a lovely stay at Elim House and found many great ways to fill our days in Bowness.

Not much to be honest.

The location was a short walk into Bowness and all of the facilities it has to offer. The room was lovely, light and airy and had a fantastic view of the gardens. Tea, coffee and biscuits were available and we were told to let Mark know if they needed topping up. As it was partners birthday, Mark organised a chilled bottle of Prosecco for our arrival and put the banners up which I had sent. Nothing was too much and communication was excellent!

Although we knew upon booking that breakfast wasn’t an option, it was the only thing we could think would be a downside to the property.

Mark and Grace were friendly and very helpful. Convenient location in a quiet peaceful area which made relaxing and reflecting a lot easier than in the hustle and bustle of Liverpool. Very easy to get to the town centre and and pier. Situated near shops and variety of restaurants which made shopping easy. Decent distance to walk to and from the train station. Easy to catch buses from. Would be happy to stay there again if I were ever to pass through that area again.

Couldn't make use of the hot water in the sink due to low water pressure. Other than that, there was nothing of note to complain about.

Great small hotel near Bowness city centre. The room was good size and very clean. When we checked in, all parking spaces were taken (small car park for 5 cars in front of the hotel and 5 spaces behind the hotel), but we were allowed to park at another hotel (extra 1 min walk). Very quiet area - 5 min walk to the centre and 20 min walk to the Windermere. You can also take the bus 599 or 555 to get to the Grasmere and Ambleside.

Cold bathroom floor - make sure you bring flip-flops with you!

Owners were very friendly, helpful and kept in touch regarding the parking and when the room was available. It was a minutes walk away from the main high street and about 5-6 mins away from the lake. Shops, bars and restaurants on your doorstep.

The only down side was that they didn’t do breakfast and the room was a little dated.

The room was quiet, clean. The weather was well into the minus figures making the room a tad cold despite the radiator making its best efforts to warm it. The location is ideal for a short walk to the lake and nearby pubs, restaurants and shops.

With the weather and time of year, the town was quiet and a few of the shops and restaurants were closed, which was a shame.

We certainly appreciated the room, which was very comfortable, and lodgings being close to Windermere and Bowness and of course the lake. You certainly turned on the weather for us as well with the beautiful snow around the town, and the chilly rain. It was great after being stuck in the heat and humidity of Brisbane in Queensland for the last 10 weeks. The restaurant recommended was a winner with us as well, with the food being next level, and the liquid beverages. Once again thanks

Room was clean and comfortable. Nice 4 poster bed. Temperature was great. Really quiet with hardly any noise from other guests or outside Host was very attentive Dedicated parking spaces are great

Not so much a didnt like - we just found the shower a little underpowered compared to what we're used to but it worked absolutely fine
