I have just returned from a 3 night stay at Elim Bank over the bank holiday weekend and what a great find this Guest House is. Just a 5 minute walk left out of the hotel you are in the heart of Bowness, with its array of shops, bars, great places to eat and the dock to catch the boats across the lake. The hotel itself is gorgeous, both inside and out. There is a small car park around the back of the hotel, which is fab in Bowness as parking seemed difficult over the bank holiday. When we arrived we were met by both Adam and Symmoane, with a great warm welcome. Both made us feel so at home when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble for either of them, going over everything we might need for our stay. When it came to breakfast, there is a booking system (book your time by 7pm the night before) which was great for us. The breakfast room is only small, but for a 7 bedroomed guesthouse it was perfect. The breakfast is continental- with a great selection of cereals, brown and white bread to toast, croissants and pan au chocolat (which you can warm) and a fridge of juices and milks and a gorgeous home made compot you can help yourself to. Porridge is also made fresh for you by Adam and Symmoane. Initially we wernt sure whether we would be disappointed with not having a cooked full english option each morning but we were far from disappointed. We actually preferred it. We were out and about all day and it was a lovely start with fresh coffee and tea. We booked a double loft room, so had 2 flights of stairs to go up. There is no lift. But this was no problem for us. The room was beautifully decorated and spacious enough for the 2 of us. I liked the touches the room had like a hairdryer and a fan, a heat mat (for straighteners) and also the toileterries in the bathroom. We had such a fabulous stay and will 100% be coming back to stay again.
