Our second visit and it didn’t disappoint. The location in the centre of town was great. A spacious room with a really comfortable bed. We only ate breakfast there but it was fabulous probably the best hotel breakfast we have had. The staff were all very welcoming and helpful.

Fabulous hotel. Rooms are spacious with huge bed. The entire hotel is spotless. Food is delicious both at dinner and breakfast time. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this to everyone.

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.

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.
The location is fab, a really quiet place with a good bus link, on the river. If you're looking for a quick walk, it's just upstream of Skelwith Force on the Cumbrian Way. Elterwater has a big pub and a nice cafe. The Hostel was nice and clean and peaceful. The room was a good size with just 6 beds in it. Showering and cleaning facilities were great.
I really liked that if you have the evening meal or breakfast you sit together and this is a great chance to meet and chat with other people.
We came to enjoy the gorgeous Lake District and the Eltemere Inn was the perfect location to use as our base. What a charming village Elterwater is! And one day we returned to our room to find four peacocks just hangin' around by the steps to our room, located in a building adjoining the main lodge.
Breakfast was exceptional and liked out on beautiful views.
Staff were so kind and helpful, but knew when to give guests space.
Very high standard of comfort and Interior design. Loved the public spaces and tasteful pieces throughout. Quality of food outstanding.
Fabulous views and really well located for hiking Wainwright hills. Elterwater is a lovely small village with a good pub and another good one nearby. A shop in nearby Chapel Stile has a good selection but a bit pricey so stock up before you go if you can.
Friendly staff, nothing too much trouble - including the gluten free goodies in the room and bread for breakfast.
Lovely position - we have walked by this property for years between Elterwater and Little Langdale.
Will be back!
The locatation for walking was perfect, we were able to walk to little langdale and into Skelwith Bridge.
The shared area downstairs was fanatstic and so homely.
The bedrooms were cosy and warm.
Location in Langdale area was great. The hotel location was also good because of its proximity to other pubs and eating establishments. It’s a good base for touring around the Lake District.
Location, general feel of the hotel was good, grounds nicely maintained. The staff were very welcoming. Visit from peacocks was an added bonus. We enjoyed the breakfasts very much
