A very warm welcome!
A small country house hotel with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, we are situated on the edge of Elterwater village with stunning views over Elterwater Lake and the Langdale Pikes.
Our hotel is styled in an understated and contemporary way with a range of cosy and luxurious rooms to choose from. There are plenty of areas to relax in too from a comfortable sitting room, cosy bar and extensive gardens for afternoon tea in warmer weather. We hope to cater equally well for walkers and lounge lizards alike!
Set against the backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty, our locale is surrounded by stunning Lakeland countryside. We are conveniently located for exploration, whether it’s walking, cycling and sailing adventures or visits to Ambleside and Grasmere. On cooler days, guests can find solace in our cosy corners and simply unwind by the fire with a good book or take advantage of our complimentary wireless broadband.

Dogs and muddy boots welcome
The original part of The Eltermere Inn started life as a farmhouse with a collection of surrounding barns and this dates back as far as the late 1500’s.
However, in 1756 William Robinson remodelled the property into a more refined country residence from which it now gets its gentrified look without losing any of the original character. It remained a private home until the 1950’s when it was turned into a country house hotel.
