I stayed at Elim House with my son and his girl friend during the Xmas/New Year week 2011. I have nothing but praise for the owners and would unreservedly recommend this B&B. It is right in the town of Bowness, which we found to be an excellent base for exploring this part of the Lake District. The breakfasts are great... More

My fiancee and l have just arrived back after staying 2 nights in Elim House. We were greeted by the host, Steve who was very friendly and showed us to our room which was the king size with en-suite. Very clean and fresh looking. Judith was very charming when we met her. We were just a tad early for breakfast... More

Have read a lot on the review from Carokokos68 and found this very unfair on the standard of the room and although they have put a lot on the review i would like to say the B&B is in a fantastic location and it is only a short walk down to the shops and boats, We were in the same... More

We booked into Elim House for 2 nights and unexpectedly ended up staying 1 as we were needed back home. In considering whether to rate the B&B as poor or average, I realised that I wasn't disappointed at having to leave early - which is a shame when you're somewhere as beautiful as Bowness. I realise that, as the owner... More

I am very sorry that we did not live up to your expectations but as potential guests can see from other reviews, we seem to get it right most of the time. I understand why you were not enamoured with the small en-suite, (which is described on our website as you pointed out, but I do not do tit for... More

It is an absolute delight. The room we had was spotless and well furnished with a very comfortable bed, The bathroom was superb with a fantastic... More

Just off the main drag. Close to the shops & eating places in Bowness-on-Windermerem Much better location than staying in Windermere. Only a few mins work from the Shops & lake. Loved it. Cracking value for money. More

These so called 'ladies' were booked in for one night and during that short time managed to smash a glass on the patio (which they couldn't be bothered to pick up, so it was still there the following morning) where they were being loud and obnoxious and disturbing their fellow guests until the early hours due to their being highly...
