    The location is very central, and having the facility to park at the property was a plus. Both hosts: Giles and Andrea were very friendly and attentive but not over the top. Our room (11) was very clean and had everything we required. There was no noise from other rooms and minimal road noise on the back of the house, so our stay was peaceful and quiet. Bed was soo comfy. The fan in the room was a 'god send' due to the beautiful warm weather on our stay. Breakfast was really tasty, with plenty of options to chose from.

    Can't recommend Elder Grove enough. Everything was exceptional. We received such a warm welcome. The attention to detail of anything you might need was outstanding. Very tranquil setting and very clean. Close to the centre. The breakfast was divine. We said it's the best place we've stayed in the UK. We can't wait to go back. Thank you for everything.

    The car parks provided are very tight so we ended up taking the less stressful option of paying for parking down the road

    We loved everything but perhaps remind guests on arrival that they will need to request to service the room / restock tea and coffee area - it is stated on a leaflet in the room but unfortunately we didn't read it thoroughly until it was time to leave!

    Delicious, relaxing breakfast with hot and cold options using local ingredients. Quality tea, coffee and hot chocolate selection in the room and at breakfast. Perfect location, only a 5 minute walk to the town or a 10 minute walk to Lake Windermere. The parking on site although small, was a huge bonus. Extremely clean everywhere, great service and friendly hosts, Andrea and Giles. We will certainly book here again for any future trips to the area.
