“Beautiful cottage and well equipped as a holiday home.”

Everything that we needed was there. Set in a good quiet position for getting about, with good transport links and also great for the lovely walks. Would definitely visit again

“We lost wifi for 2 days.”

Long wait on the phone to contact the maintenance department. (Phone button pressing choices) We wish there was a human being at the end of the phone. Steps leading from the parking bay to the cottage. (Not ideal for elderly or wheelchair users)

Sadly the BT tower had issues during your stay with many of the surrounding homes losing Wi-Fi connection also. Rotten luck but we hope you enjoyed your stay nevertheless! The owner relations team - Lakes Cottage Holidays Property Owner

“Overall the property at the reduced price for a week is good.”

Good location, good views. Great bath and bed. Good supply of utensils. The parking is awkward and would be far to tight for 2 cars. Internet initially wasn’t working. Small knife end was broken off. Pedal bin on its last legs. Part of Henry the hoover was missing. Annoying humming noise all night that could be heard from the bedroom, possibly from address at the rear. 2 seated sofa not comfy and small chair pointless. Despite the negative points the property is good and I would return..

“Fantastic holiday really enjoyed our time there, beautiful cottage with fabulous views & all the necessary facilities needed including good places to eat close by, or order in for a cosy evening!”

Parking a bit tight especially with neighbours having a large vehicle, and address needs to be clearer as we spent ages looking for Elterwater instead of Beaumont! Even asked several locals including a taxi driver none of which were any help! Will definitely be recommending you & very keen to stay again

“Lovely cottage in a great location right in the middle between Bowness and ...”

“Well equipped, clean and well designed house.”

Comfortable bed and excellent shower. Lovely first floor sitting room with views. We ate in so the kitchen equipment was in daily use and we had everything we needed. The bedroom on the ground floor was a little chilly. A way of controlling the heating would be useful. It did randomly come on one afternoon but we were not sure how! We chose to park in the road outside the property (which was fine) as the parking space, shared with Wastwater Cottage next door is narrow for two cars. Be aware that there are 15 narrow steps with handrail up to the cottage from the parking as well as the four into to the property. Walking distance to Windermere and Bowness, both with great facilities. The house was a great base for us to explore the area. Thankyou.

The property

Located in Windermere, Cumbria, in the grounds of a 19th-century Victorian Lakeland residence, Elterwater is a charming reverse-level cottage.

Elterwater is a great spot for couples searching for a romantic getaway in the Lake District National Park, which is just moments from Lake Windermere. The front garden of your home-away-from-home, where you may enjoy your morning coffee while taking in views of the Lakeland Mountains, awaits you on arrival once you have parked your car in the designated off-road parking place.

To unwind, head to the ground floor's well-presented double bedroom, which includes a gorgeous freestanding bath for long soaks and an en-suite shower room for quick rinses before heading out to explore.

On the first floor you will discover the open-plan living area, complete with a well-equipped kitchen, where you can whip up a romantic supper for you and your other half to enjoy at the dining table for two.

Make plans for the next day's activities or unwind in front of your favourite TV show after dinner.

There are a wide variety of restaurants, bars, and pubs within a short distance of your hotel, including a popular inn, the Boardwalk Bar and Grill, and Boaters Bar, which both overlook the lake.

There are a variety of watersports activities available on Lake Windermere, including kayaking and sailing, as well as beautiful walks up to the overlooks at Queen Adelaide's Hill and Orrest Head Viewpoint, where you can take in the stunning views of the Langdale Pikes from above.

The Lake District Activities Centre offers gorge scrambling, rock climbing, and abseiling for those interested.

If that's not your cup of tea, why not check out the interactive exhibits at the World of Beatrix Potter Attraction?

If you're interested in history, head to Ambleside, where you'll find an ancient Roman Fort, a library and museum and a 70-foot waterfall.

Grasmere is the next stop, where you may see William Wordsworth's old house or the majestic National Trust Wray Castle in Low Wray. Elterwater is an excellent base from which to explore the Lake District.

Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1093500, together sleeping up to four guests.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
