    “Wow!!!”

    . This place is an absolute charm. A beautiful setting with a perfect location. If you just want to park up and walk the lakes with a rucksack then this is the place. A romantic little getaway whilst holding all the charm of the lakes in this property, a proper home to home vibe.. and the patio with the views in the morning was a perfect way to start our day! The walks from your door are too endless to mention. Five gold stars for the owners of this one.

About the location

ELTERWATER

Great Langdale 2.9 miles; Ambleside 4.2 miles; Grasmere 8.2 miles.

Elterwater is a true escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. A tranquil hamlet with its tiny ‘swan lake’, Elter Water, sitting at the gateway of the striking Langdale valley. The soft valley landscape is in sharp contrast to the steep jagged Langdale Pikes. Elterwater sits between Ambleside and Great Landgale, where at the top of the valley the infamous Wrynose Path is the only way out of the u-shaped valley, giving it a superb sense of seclusion. The larger towns of Grasmere and Ambleside are a short drive away providing a host of options for shopping and eating out.

This property offers the following short breaks:

  • Winter
  • Off-season
