Lovely weekend stay
Pros:

The Elleray is a lovely hotel right by the train station which was perfect for us! We had a family room that was decorated lovely, spacious and spotless!
We had a delicious breakfast both mornings and Caz went above and beyond for our little girl, even cutting her toast in to heart shapes!
Thank you for having us, we will be back!

Pros:

The location was ideal

Cons:

I did not feel the rooms lived up to a deluxe room. The binds in the bathroom didnt fit. It was noisy and there was no chair. I felt it was poor value for money

The best breakfast in Windermere
Pros:

The landlady did a fantastic job during our stay works so hard as do the other staff. Lovely dining area were we had breakfast twice , what can I say probably one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time piping hot and tasted delicious all locally sourced ( the bacon and sausage were fab ). The bar was very welcoming and was busy in the evening which is nice to see all the locals supporting local pubs. We will definitely be stay here again...

Good central location. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast
