We were there with my husband and after hiking all we want to do was going back to the motel and spend time relaxing in our room with a breathtaking view. I highly recommend this place if you don’t like hotel chains or big places. We’ll definitely go back.

Lovely friendly welcome, lots to offer every visitor. We popped by for lunch. There was a condensed menu but plenty of range, enough to suit everyone. Food was plentiful, great value for money and delicious.
Drinks on offer were wide and our options tasted perfect.
We didn't venture outside but from the view the garden looked spot on for a sunny afternoon.

Thoroughly enjoyed the food at The Elleray. Service was great and the owner was very smiley, checking in on us while eating. We ordered the Elleray burger and Hunters chicken 'specials' burger - they were delicious!! We took our dog so were worried where we would sit but we got a quiet table near the window straight away. Highly recommended

Just back from a 2 night stay at the Elleray Caroline Tom and Kerri where so welcoming can't recommend this hotel and bar enough the food was really good and the breakfast was amazing. The room was really nice spotlessly clean very warm and welcoming even fresh flowers in the room.
