| Welcome to the English Lake District Rodger and Linda welcome you to Elim Lodge, an attractive Lake District guest house, only a short walk from Lake Windermere. Built around 1860 in the local stone and slate style, Elim Lodge is in a pretty part of Bowness village, very close to local attractions and well placed for visiting the enchanting scenery of the Lake District National Park. We offer clean, smart, value-for-money bed and breakfast accommodation, with an easy-going, relaxed atmosphere. We have our own private off-road parking. From our doorstep it's a two minute walk to shops and restaurants or a ten minute walk to the classic Lake District view at Biskey Howe viewpoint. We can also give you friendly, expert advice on how best to make the most of your visit to this beautiful corner of England. Windermere railway station is one mile away, with good connections to Manchester, Scotland and London Euston via the West Coast main line. Or we are just a 20 minute drive from the M6 motorway. |
| Windermere…. just a short walk away. Bowness-on-Windermere is packed full of things to see and do, from the Beatrix Potter Centre or Steamboat Museum to countless shops and restaurants. Cruise ships sail from Bowness Bay several times an hour, or you can hire a rowing boat and explore the many islands and bays. The village is a fine base from which to explore the Lake District and its entrancing scenery. Superb hill, woodland and waterfall walks proliferate or go pony trekking, cycling, climbing, sailing, fishing, golfing… the opportunities are endless.  The Lake District is a haven for photographers, painters, country crafts, bird watching or simply refreshing and revitalizing yourself. You can visit fine country houses and local interest museums, venture up steep Hardknott Pass to visit the Roman Fort, or take a trip to the mysterious 5000 year old stone circle at Castlerigg. There are also many lovely gardens, made all the more impressive for their beautiful locations. Capture the vivid spectacle of the giant rhododendrons in bloom in spring, come for the rich colours of the leaves in autumn, or seek poetic inspiration in William Wordsworth's Garden "…a little nook of mountain ground". Both he and Beatrix Potter loved the area and lived close to Windermere - you can visit their houses or walk in their footsteps. Rodger and Linda, the proprietors, are keen that you make the most of your holiday, and with that in mind provide a wide variety of local information for your use. Ask about things to do in the Windermere area, how to get to Beatrix Potter's house, where to go for the best real ale, what's on at the cinema and theatre, how to get to Hadrian's Wall, what time the train goes to Edinburgh…. |
