What a lovely place to stay. Great location, room very nice and comfy and breakfast was just delicious. Friendly staff and defo stay there again soon 👍
Little bit pricey but good beer, a good selection of spirits and the staff are ultra helpful and friendly.
Are here twice during a trip to the Lakes. Both times the food was excellent and service friendly.
We had steak pie one night and then chicken,leek & ham the other, pies fantastic both times, lots of meat inside.
Nice chilled out vibe inside with a real fire, lots of seating as it's a pretty big pub

Whilst on holiday we decided to look for somewhere different from our usual evening meal haunts and opted for the Elleray Inn after reading some of the reviews.
Now the problem is that my other half, Julie, has an allergy to garlic so we asked before ordering and the barmaid checked. Unfortunately several things had garlic in them be it food or sauces cooked in or added.
We both opted for fish and chips and our daughter had the Margarita pizza.
When the food arrived we were stunned at the portion sizes being as big as they were.
The fish was battered nicely and cooked to perfection with crispness as should be. The chips appeared to be triple-cooked and were tasty.
Service was great with three of the staff coming over to ask if everything was fine - which everything was.
Some of the reviews claimed it took ages for food to arrive. Now being it was 5:15 when we went in and we were the first to order. So it was early and quiet.
I checked out some other orders going out into the bar area (Steak and Ale pies) and the portion sizes looked enormous… and I am glad I did not order as I do not think I could eat it… but next year I might try!
Lovely Pub, great atmosphere, lovely local ales, lovely staff. Lovely outside area. I also thank the lovely girl host from Sugar & Spice that recommended this pub to me.😊 Windermere is full of lovely people. So I’m coming back in two weeks 😊
Well what can i say a home from home. A great B/B. We could not fault the service, the rooms were spotless nothing was to much trouble, the food was excellent from breakfast to dinner. We will be definitely staying here again
Good location & although very near railway & bus station there isn’t any traffic noise. The Elleray is a great base for exploring the district without a car. Very comfortable & clean accommodation with the most excellent breakfasts & other meal options.
Very relaxing garden courtyard & amazing helpful staff. Highly recommend.
Well wow, we have found a little gem that will now be a regular. We popped in for some food after a busy day and were greeted with fantastic service at the bar despite being extremely busy. We ordered halloumi fries, katsu curry and the special hunters chicken burger and my goodness, it was the nicest, most comforting and well presented food we've had in the lakes. Just what we needed today.
We managed to thank the chef directly but it is to be noted how incredibly talented he is and how much the owners care about their menu and customers.
We will definitely be back soon - thank you. Date of visit 23/09/2023
Real gem of a pub. Big roaring log fire on the go, and actually has a live train timetable board for commuters. Loved this place and I'd say, one of the best in Bowness-on-Windermere.
Enjoyed a holiday weekend in the Lakes. Visited The Elleray for one & stayed much longer than expected.
Atmosphere is great, food was amazing and staff member Tiffany did not stop and looked after us all the time there, always asking if we was OK. Would recommend a visit for food & drink.
The lady in charge (we think) unsure of her name, was absolutely brilliant. Such good service, very friendly and welcoming. Such a nice lady, always did her best despite working alone at times. Room was clean, good size. Food was amazing and big portions too.
The friendly helpful staff really make this place a great stay. They helped lock my bike even though I was later to return. The breakfast was also very good quality, fresh hot toast too. Very good attention to detail !. Bedroom was comfortable, could be updated a tad but was very happy with location. Even parking was available nearby, or opposite for free overnight if you lucky.
