We took ownership of Elim Bank Guest House in February 2026. Elim Bank is a guest house with six comfortably furnished bedrooms, all with en-suite facilities. We pride ourselves on a friendly atmosphere and being as accommodating as possible.

We are a bed and breakfast with 6 guest rooms in a beautiful 3 storey Victorian era property. We are 10 minutes walk from Lake Windermere! We have free WIFI, free on-site private parking (one space per guest room), all rooms are en-suite and the room rate includes a basic, self-service continental breakfast (no cooked options) in the breakfast room. This includes a selection of cereals, toast, croissants, fresh fruit, hot drinks and juices. We do not offer any cooked breakfast options Visitors can sample the unusually varied and magnificent landscapes both in and around Lakeland or the many places of historical or local interest including famous houses, beautiful gardens or sites of antiquity. The Lake District holds a wealth of interest for the tourist whether on foot or with transport. Bikes and Cars can be readily hired and the local bus services are extensive and regular and of course, as Bowness is located half way along the Lake, you are able to take advantage of the lake ferries which can take you down to Lakeside at the foot of the Lake where you can visit the superb "Aquarium of the Lakes" and take a journey on the Haverthwaite Steam Railway. Alternatively, you can take a cruise to Ambleside at the head of the Lake, which is another of the beautiful villages in the Windermere area. LATE CHECK-IN FEES: There is no after-hours reception at the property so unless agreed with ourselves prior to booking, check-in after 7pm will not be available until the next morning. Any late check-ins must be requested prior to booking, by phone or email and are at an additional fee of 10 GBP per hour if we agree we can accommodate your request.
