Book Eltermere Inn in Elterwater, Lake District

Each bedroom is individually designed, and several offer roll-top bathtubs placed within the room itself for a unique bathing experience. Rooms in the Lingmoor category provide extra space and luxury appointments alongside views of Elterwater Lake. The Standard Double Room category in the Neddy Bogle annex provides a more compact but comfortable stay.

The restaurant offers seasonally changing menus built around locally sourced produce from the Lake District. Guests can order exclusive afternoon tea experiences served on the terrace overlooking the lake. The bar is set within the original farmhouse kitchen decor and serves local ales alongside bar meals.

Eltermere Inn sits directly beside Elterwater Lake with walking and cycling trails starting from the hotel grounds. Grizedale Forest for cycling and walking is a short drive away, and Ambleside town for dining and shopping is 10 minutes by car. Lake Windermere offers boating activities and is also within a 10-minute drive.

The hotel has designated dog-friendly rooms that allow pets to stay alongside their owners. Pet owners can enjoy the garden and picnic areas with their dogs while taking in views of the fells. Packed lunches are available on request to take on walks with the dog.

Free parking is available on-site, a practical benefit in the Lake District where parking is limited. The hotel provides board games and puzzles for guest use in the lounges. A picnic area and sun terrace offer outdoor seating with views across the lake and surrounding fells.
