In the village of Elterwater, this traditional Lakeland inn offers real ales and home-cooked food, in the heart of the Lake District. Lake Windermere is just 3 miles away.

Staff are so lovely, accommodation is lovely and so clean. Had a really relaxing stay. Food is absolutely gorgeous.
With wonderful views over Lake Eltermere, Eltermere Inn is in the heart of the Langdale Valley. The historic country house has luxury rooms, a creative restaurant and a cosy bar with free Wi-Fi.

This hotel was in perfect location. The reception were welcoming and the staff behind the bar/restaurant were also very friendly.
Loved the pool, what a bonus! very nice facility to have and the little relax area with fresh towels was lovely too!
Our room was very small, bed was extremely comfortable. Most things are modern but over sights are there.. for example nowhere to plug in at sides of bed, had to locate a dusty extension lead from back of bed. Plus, the kettle looked like it was from a car boot sale back in the 80’s… - definitely needs replacing.
If I could pick a main dislike, it would definitely be that I understand this hotel is “dog friendly” but if you are not a dog person… it’s not ideal. Our room was full of dog hairs, especially all over the carpet. This wasn’t pleasant and more care needs to be given when allocating rooms to non dog people! Slight unhygienic..
Overall, a lovely hotel with a great little swimming pool but rooms definitely in need of attention to detail. Thank you
In a most spectacular location on the shores of England’s longest lake, Windermere, Low Wood Bay Resort & Spa is the Lake District’s first resort offering a number of facilities.

Lovely old building beautifully furnished right in the centre of Grasmere. Lots of space around it with gardens and ample parking. Great staff in the hotel and the pub.

It's very busy and noisy with late night drinking, probably not the best choice for a family with small children.
We did not eat here, so we can't comment on the food.
Had to walk through busy bar to get to rooms, with luggage and children.

Ample free parking just a short distance away; parking nearer for half a dozen cars but you have to be lucky to get a space!
Very friendly and helpful staff.
A lively but small bar (discounts on the beer for CAMRA members!) which is dog friendly and with a good bar food menu.
Very good restaurant food - well priced, interesting selection, and very generous sized servings.
Within very easy reach of Elterwater and a well made path, or you can be adventurous and explore further afield.
This was our second visit; unfortunately my wife isn't as mobile as she used to be, so the stairs to the rooms and ladies toilets are a bit of a challenge.

Very pleasant but there was some building work going on nearby. The roads near there are narrow, so you must expect some hold ups. The pub itself is very busy and popular. It is easy to get to other beauty spots, but parking in some areas can be a little trying.
The pub allows dogs in their bedrooms, and although this did put me off a little, I have to admit that they were all well behaved and there was no evidence that a dog had been in our bedroom. Dogs are not allowed in the dining room.
It is essential to book the time you want to eat in the dining room.

IMO Langdale is the prettiest Valley in the Lake District, Particularly in Spring time. Has 3 or4 good walks, easy by general Lake District standards , many harder walks depending on your fitness. also a good bus service to Ambleside. Also two pubs in the village and another at Chapel Stile, only a 10 min walk away

I was originally disappointed with the Eltermere Inn, as there was a problem with the bill. after my return, I questioned this and was promptly reinbursed and generously compensated with a complementary meal for two, so I would highly recommend this hotel.

Elterwater is a lovely traditional village not far from Grasmere. The village has old and new places to eat, we especially enjoyed a meal in Lanty Slees (named after a local bootlegger)The greek owners are charming hosts and made the evening memorable, we are planning on visiting again very soon

I love Elterwater, I go to the Langdale timeshares every year.
Our family is growing and I wanted a bolt hole just for sleeping.
This cottage is not the answer.
The new owners were disinterested and said that they wouldn’t be continuing the letting.
However they had taken on guests for this year and should have been more welcoming.

Great location in quiet village. Room was clean and comfortable. All staff very friendly and helpful throughout. Breakfast was cooked to order and very good. Use of nearby Langdale hotel leisure facilities was a great bonus during our stay.
A great location, right on the Cumbria Way and close to Elterwater. The directions to get there were also helpful. The room was comfortable and very peaceful. I loved the overnight oats with fruit at breakfast!
