    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.

    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.

    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!
