Far from busy tourist trails, the place provides tranquility and perfect conditions for blissful idleness or active recreation. All rooms have bathrooms and showers, comfortable beds, TVs, soundproof acoustics, and stylish wooden finishing. Folwark Lekuk is a perfect place for families and children, with playgrounds, animations and numerous amenities for children. It also boasts "Fire and Water" restaurant with spectacular lake view, 3 conference rooms, fitness room, and spa zone. Folwark offers many options of active recreation (like kayaking, biking, country skiing) and nature observation.
We stayed here for 2 nights in July. On the whole it was fantastic experience that I would recommend but there were a couple of niggles.
Firstly our room was beautiful, at the front of the hotel with a small balcony overlooking the lake but shame no furniture fitted on the balcony so it was only for standing. There were great tea & coffee making facilities in the room. The bed however was very odd, it was a made up sofa that was smaller than a double bed & uncomfortable. One side of it was against the wall thus making getting in & out difficult. We decided against complaining as we didn't want to change rooms & there was no way a proper bed could have fitted in the room with the other furniture.
The food (we had breakfast each day & 1 lunch & 1 dinner a la carte) was superb, excellent, big choice of the freshest things at breakfast, really they had thought of everything. Things from the a la carte menu were delicious too. The eel was superb.
We are English & do not speak Polish, I absolutley would not expect everyone to speak English but as our English booking was accepted it would have been nice to have been able to access the things in the hotel more easily. As most of the staff did not speak English & nor should they have to, we would have loved to have been able to find information somewhere on all the things in the hotel. There was a QR code on the menu to scan for an English translation, 1 for all the hotel's facilities would have been fantastic.
We did manage to use the spa & the Russian Bath which were totally wonderful but it was hard to book & find out when we could do this & I failed to book a massage.
Having said that, the hotel grounds are beautiful, the flower arrangements around the hotel are glorious, the Russian bath was out of this world & we loved the beach, swimming in the lake & kayaking. We felt things were very reasonably priced & would absolutely love to return.

Thank you very much for your stay and opinion. We are very happy to hear so many nice words about our hotel, SPA, restaurant, Russian Bath, our garden etc. Your room was the only one in our hotel with a convertible bad (because it is usually connected with adjacent room and functions as an appartment) and I am sorry for any inconvenience. We didn't have any free doubles at that time. We work on English info materials and also our staff learns English, so it will be better in this area, too.

What a delightful place to visit. The setting is stunning - lake, wildflowers and beautifully constructed buildings. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful. The food was fresh, local and organic - pleny of salads and fresh fruits. Would recommend this place for a peaceful break in tranquil surroundings.

Just returned from a 4 day stay at Folwark Lekuk for a wedding along with my wife and son (Best Man) and experienced our first ever Polish wedding. Well first the location, this is set deep into the North of Poland towards the Russian and Lithuanian border in some of the most stunning surroundings. It was well of the beaten track so lovely and quite around a large lake. Not many of the staff spoke English BUT we don’t speak Polish but the language barrier was never a problem. Food was good and beautifully presented and boy was it at the drinks cheap. There is plenty to do unless you choose like us to just relax for a few days and then the wedding party checked in.
The relaxation over we now got down to the wedding which was wonderful but if you do attend a Polish wedding don’t expect to go to bed early, they finish a 4, the food goes on just as long and boy does the Vodka get hammered. Folwark Lekuk put on a very good show and the staff were first class. Would we visit again, yes we would just be prepared that if your driving from Warsaw be prepared for a very long drive but its worth it.

Polish wedding party does not end at 4 a.m. - there is just a short break, and at 11 a.m. it starts again (it is called "poprawiny" - after party - in Polish). You should also know that nowadays we drink a lot less vodka than a couple of years ago. Normally, there was 1 bottle for 1 person... Thank you very much for your review. I hope we soon go back to normal after pandemic and invite you just to relax in our hotel and its surroundings, or maybe celebrate the wedding's anniversary. Mazury airport in Szymany is already reopened, and new road from Warsaw is being built.

No nonsense place - comfy rooms, reasonable food, very friendly staff. What are more important are surroundings: miles far from (overcrowded in summer) central Masurian Lakes, just by smallish lake and wild forest. Lots of summer and winter activities around. Visited it twice so far and defo will be returning. They will be extending - new building is now under construction, I really hope it will maintain same relaxed and quiet character.

I enjoyed the camping for a "longer summer weekend" This place has its own beach with a pier on the charming small lake. It is possible to rent a pedal boat and ordinary bicycle to explore the surroundings.There is a fireplace and mini golf. You can enjoy simple but delicious food at the beach bar or eat home-cooked meals in the common kitchen located in the buildings of the former manor estate. You can try there local beer from breweries of Warmia. Everything is tastefully decorated and the owners and service team very friendly.

Location/Hotel in general The hotel has a charming location next to a lake with direct access to the lake. There is also a campground on the hotel grounds. This means that during the season the beach is used by both hotel guests and guests from the campground. Consequently, on weekends/holidays the beach is very crowded and rather loud. The hotel offers a wide range of animation activities for children, so kids will definitely not get bored. Adults, too, will find something for themselves - yoga, campfire, bike tours. Plus for the possibility of accepting the dogs at the hotel and the restaurant, The dogs cannot use the beach but there is a separate exit to the lake for dogs about 50 -100 m from the beach.
Service A big asset of the hotel is the staff - friendly, competent, helpful.
Rooms Rooms are in the main building and in the Old Granary (a separate building). Unfortunately, the rooms are the biggest drawback of the hotel. Because we made the reservation at the last minute, there was very limited availability of rooms (only a 3-person room in the Old Granary and a room with facilities for the disabled in the main building) - we chose a room that looked a bit larger in the Granary (the difference in price was insignificant). The room in the photos looked simple but decent. Unfortunately, the photos do not reflect the actual condition of the room - a room in a camping/summer camps style, old furniture, a cabinet with a broken door, a microscopic closet, dirty walls, dirty mirrors, carpet of indeterminate color with numerous brown plans, non-functioning TV, no cabinet of any kind in the bathroom. A room for 2 adults plus a child (in the age range up to 6 years) cost about 600 PLN (about 135 eur) per night. Frankly speaking, the price is definitely inflated considering the standard of the room. For such a standard the price should be definitely lower. In my opinion, assuming that the other rooms in the Granary look similar, these rooms need a major renovation.
Check-out The staff is very flexible when it comes to late check-out. The only problem is that there is no bill detailing items for additional services (restaurant, activities, etc.). The client gets a bill with one total amount, e.g. 1000 PLN for “hotel services” with no specification what these additional paid hotel services were. For longer stays, it can be problematic to verify if there is a mistake.
Wasps While summer is the season with a large number of wasps, their number in the hotel scared us. Wasps attacked especially on the beach, but also outside (twice they fell into our room). It seems that their number could be reduced by a few simple measures such as lockable trash cans on the beach, frequent emptying of trash cans (the trash can by the beach bar was notoriously overflowing) or frequent cleaning of cups/glasses/dishes left on the tables by the beach (rest area under the restaurant terrace). Every now and then some child would break down crying after being stung by a wasp.
Restaurant We did not opt for the dinners offered by the hotel in the package- after reviewing their menu, we decided that the selection did not suit us and was not very varied. On a couple of occasions we tried the dishes offered in the à la carte restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurant is disappointing. In my opinion, there is an excess of form over substance here. While it should be considered positive to look for new flavors, it should be done rationally. Not every unexpected combination of flavors results in a tasty dish. And restaurant dishes are an example of this. Unfortunately, the restaurant is drifting off in an unknown direction along with its guests, dining at a nearby Guesthouse restaurant in the nearest village.

Thank you for your stay and this extensive opinion. I will answer shortly to individual questions you've mentioned. Rooms in Old Granary - I am sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with the standard of our rooms. Each room in Old Granary is different, designed based on a different sports (like hiking, cycling, kayaking, swimming etc.), and equipped with custom-made wooden furniture and extras. They are renovated as the need arises (in fact, they were renovated this autumn). If something is broken or doesn't work, our technical staff repairs or changes it, usually on the same or next day. Check-out - on request, we provide individual receipts ("paragony") listing individual services, drinks and beverages, during check-out. Wasps - it is a problem during a couple of days in the whole year only, usually in August. Not only in Łękuk, but everywhere in Masuren. We did whatever we can with them - removing trash, spraying with special agents, using scented candles supposed to drive them away etc. It worked, but only so far. Then, they disappear after a week or so. Restaurants - our idea is to offer regional dishes, based on local ingredients, served in innovative way. We use vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers from our own eco garden, make our own cured meat and bread, buy fish, cheese and other products from local farmers. Our chef likes to try new connections and flavors. I am sorry that it didn't suite you. We change our menu every few months - maybe next time you will like it?

Treated some family to a Spa trip and was very pleased with our experience. Hotel was modern, clean and conformable (only minor gripe was a lack of a kettle in the room - how very British of me!). Ruska Bania was a fantastic experience with proper Polish hospitality (i.e. lots of yummy food!). Folwarlk location was stunning. A place where you can truly relax and experience the beauty of the Mazury. I will definitely be coming back.

I had my wedding reception here and I couldn't have asked for anything better! When we were looking around Elk for somewhere to host our reception, there were a few places near but none of them could have come close to matching Folwark Lekuk. The managers always listened to our thoughts, replied to our questions and really wanted to make our reception special. They made the English guests at our wedding feel just as welcome as the Polish ones which is appreciated bearing in mind the rural location.
The hotel is located about 40 mins drive from the center of Elk and is in a stunning location with a lake and woodland backing onto it. The rooms were very clean, spacious and well furnished. The style and feel of the hotel is rustic while still being clean and well kept. The food at the reception is good quality, homemade and fresh. In the spa I only tried the steam room but it too was very good. The staff are very friendly and while their English is basic it is more than enough for any help you might need. We visited for a few nights after the wedding and relaxed by taking in the natural beauty of the surroundings and saw the local bison! There seems to be events on frequently and in summer there are a lot of outdoor activities which I'd love to come back to do!

A charming hotel over a lake. Fantastic for weddings. One can marry on a hill, next to an aging oak. Lots of nature. Beautiful night sky. Caring people at the reception. Food made over traditional fire. Far away from the rush of cities. Beautiful and relaxing.
