Will Larter left this review about The Elleray
I needed something to cheer me up after missing my train, and this was just the ticket. The five hand pumps had a couple of ciders, both varieties of Wainwright, and Hawkshead Windermere Pale. I had a swift half of the pale while keeping an eye on the train departure board above the bar (I'm not kidding). The beer was in very good nick (NBSS 4) and the lass behind the bar was friendly and welcoming. Definitely the place to go if you've missed your train, or bus, or just to recover from your journey.

This is the first pub you come to on leaving the train station (if you're heading into the small village centre that is). Its a fairly basic hotel bar with a longish room. The servery is to one side and had 5 handpumps on the bar. Copper Dragon, Doom Bore, Wainwright's and an ale that I've forgotten were available on my visit. Its a pleasant enough place and as there seems to be a dearth of pubs here its obviously worth a visit.

Will Larter left this review about Elleray Hotel
This hotel has a large dining room on the corner, plus a long bar which can be entered either via the reception area or by a separate door further along Cross Street. The decor is mushroom and pistachio, which is cool (tone) but not very cool (fashion), I'd say. There was a fire, which was welcome on a very cold night. The ubiquitous Wizrd were playing as I entered, but the barman was just as happy as I to press the reject button and play something else - "wish it could be Christmas every day", indeed - bah humbug, say I. I was almost alone in the bar, but it was a cold night and there was football ojn TV in the Queens just down the road. There were some interisting modern pictures by local artists adorning the walls, the chairs and sofas were comfortable but the place felt just a bit bleak (cool). Four hand pumps were available, serving Hawkshead Best Bitter, Batemans Rosy Nosy, Copper Dragon Golden Pippin and Jennings Cumberland Ale: a varied if unadventurous selection.
