“Beautifully prepared and spotlessly clean cottage.”

Loved the enclosed garden for our dog.

“The location of the property was outstanding and the cottage was cosy and well appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay.”

The garden was ideal for our two dogs as it was secure and made for a relaxing stay. The only downsides were that the single bed was not comfortable for our adult son and whenever we tried to have a bath some water seemed to leak through the kitchen ceiling. Possibly a problem with the overflow..we also noticed the bathroom flooring was cracked. We would definitely stay again.

“We had a wonderful weekend in Elterwater.”

The cottage is lovely, very homely with all the home comforts. It was exactly what we needed.

“Really beautiful cottage and pleasantly surprised to see it had been refurbished.”

Beautiful views. Kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed. Was quite cold without the log burner on( we stayed in feb). Really nice to stay inside when the weather was gloomy or to arrive back after a long walk. Good sized fridge freezer. Log burner needed some TLC to get it working efficiently - was blocked. Small bed mattress a bit uncomfortable with springs Would definitely stay again. Would be good to have some basics like oven gloves and glove for wood burner, few basic supplies like milk tea coffee in case people arrive late

“We had a lovely stay.”

Our only criticism would be that the living room rug is really dirty so our crawling baby got very dirty ! But we had a lovely stay and have booked to return !

- Victoria, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now discussed with the owner. They have spoken to their cleaner who will now attend to the rug. Thank you once again for your feedback and we are please you have rebooked again Property Owner

“A small pod type coffee machine would have been brilliant but other wise everything was excellent”

- Susie, May 2021

Thank you for your feedback Dr Bird. We appreciate the time taken to send your observations which we have now discussed with the owner. They have advised there is a stainless steel cafetiere at Pollys Cottage for guest to use. Thank you once again for your feedback and we do hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

The property

A picture-perfect Lake District cottage in a rural village setting, with breathtaking views from every window. Polly's Cottage is a 17th century, double fronted, Lakeland cottage in the Langdale Valley village of Elterwater. The interior is an adorable combination of character features and contemporary comforts. Fall in love with the Inglenook fireplace, old oak beams, original range stove and enchanting window seats. After a day on the fells, settle in for the evening with the wood burning stove flickering away before taking your rest in one of the beautifully presented bedrooms. The country kitchen provides a perfect place for sociable meals, and your local pub is one of the Lake District's best. Two couples will spread out easily here, and families will enjoy a perfect location for an active holiday. == Accommodation in detail Private parking for 1 car. Enter to the spacious living room with lovely views, woodburning stove and deep-cushioned sofas. The spacious kitchen includes generous dining space, next to a fabulous original range (not working), and offers access to your portion of the garden and furnished patio. Upstairs to the 3 bedrooms; 2 doubles and 1 single. Generous house bathroom with wood panelled bath and shower over. Location Whether you wish to walk the Langdale Pikes, photograph the spectacular Langdale Valley or simply escape from the madding crowds, you'll find this holiday cottage in Elterwater a blissful retreat - without straying too far from the highlights of the Lakes. Elterwater village sits between Ambleside and Great Langdale. The small nearby Elterwater tarn is a delight to behold, and can be reached via a path from the Britannia Inn - your quintessential local Lake District pub serving great food and real Lakeland ale. Only a short drive will take you to vibrant Ambleside village and the shores of Lake Windermere. There you'll find a sophisticated range of shops for stocking up the kitchen, acclaimed Lake District restaurants such as 'The Glass House' and Windermere Lake Cruises departing from Waterhead Pier providing a scenic route to Bowness and Lakeside! Also nearby is picture perfect Hawkshead and Coniston Water, the Lake District's third largest lake. There you'll find more opportunities for boating activities, perhaps discovering Peel Island - featured in Arthur Ransome's Swallows & Amazons as 'Wild Cat Island'.

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.
