From the very first communication with Lyn, you could tell that she will do her very best to accommodate you. She sorted a room for the three of us without hesitation. She enquired about our breakfast choices before we had even arrived!! On arrival everything looked and felt spotlessly clean and our room was no exception. We had a large room that was very spacious but it also felt very homely. Breakfast was a delight and Liam did an amazing job every morning. Nothing was too much trouble. There was a large selection to chose from and it was delicious. During our stay it was my anniversary and

Just got home from a wonderful relaxing stay at Elton Guest House. The accommodation was lovely but the best part of our visit was the breakfast in the morning. Lyn is a wonderful hostess she made us feel really welcome, not only was our breakfast very tasty, but also the information she shared about Grange over Sands and the surrounding area was extremely interesting. We would highly recommend this unique place for an overnight visit or an extended stay and we would definitely like to visit them again soon!

Absolutely spot on. You truly can't fault the Elton Guest House, the decor, the cleanliness, the size of the rooms, the breakfast & mostly the hosts Lyn & Liam. Very special.
