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.

The old historical charm. The styling and room settings all added to this comfortable and hospitable Inn. Our room was clean, comfortable, with tea and coffee plus a good tv. En suite was a good size with bathroom cosmetics.

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 cozy bar with free Wi-Fi.

Breakfast was wonderful - perfect poached eggs and a fantastic selection of high quality food. Loved the rhubarb yoghurt and granola as well as the very fresh granary bread.

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.

The staff was excellent—we espeicially loved Mel, part of the staff at the Winander breakfast.

Fabulous hotel in the centre of the village. Beautifully furnished and trendy. Our room was on the third floor and had a little balcony with a small table and two chairs. This was a total surprise and a real wow factor, we enjoyed a bottle of wine while sitting listening to the birds sing. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant and the breakfast next day really set us up for our walk. The hotel also has a very nice pool and a large sauna with a wonderful chill out area. We booked this hotel on the morning of our stay, it was a spur of the moment thing and it exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful night away, just what we both needed. We also have to add that the staff were brilliant too. We will be back, thank you. Our room number was 303.

    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!
