10/10
The Elleray is pub/hotel it’s a traditional old building with sash windows, a dining area/lounge, bar and an outdoor beer garden. For the age and style of the building it was very clean in the rooms and public areas. The rooms are comfortable with a big telly, tea/coffee etc. The staff were excellent and friendly and helpful, the food was excellent as well and very tasty. They have a variety of drinks available including local guest ales although I didn’t try any, only thing I’d mention is if you’re a Guinness drinker it’s the nitro surge which isn’t that nice but that’s just personal choice. If you are in a vehicle parking is an issue, there’s no parking on site or in the road next door, you can park on the main road overnight but during the day it’s only for an hour but I managed ok whilst there, you can also park in the rail station car park which you pay for. If you’re travelling by train the station is literally on the same road just a few minutes away, there’s also an excellent Chinese restaurant next door which was very tasty and popular. Overall I’d definitely recommend the Elleray, it’s ideal if you’re in a car for exploring and if you’re a walker you’ll enjoy the hike up the road from Bowness! But even if you just want a nice little break in a nice area it’s great. The only thing I would point out is the noise from the beer garden, it wasn’t from the Elleray but a pub further down, it didn’t bother us but if it does you I’d ask for a room on the front or the side.
