The Eltermere Inn

We enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast, perfectly cooked beef and vegetables followed by puddings. So much better than other local eateries. My daughter, who is allergic to dairy, was delighted to find a proper dairy free pudding on the menu! Not something that happens often. We will be back on our next trip to the Lakes

We spent the week at the Eltermere old Barn, which is attached to the hotel. We loved the bar area and sitting out in the garden looking down to Elterwater. A lovely tranquil spot and dog friendly too. Just beware of the Peacocks they sent our dog into a frenzy. On the last night we went to the restaurant which is very elegant, classic yet informal. A good choice from the menu was fish and chips as well as the fantastic triple fried chips, best I've ever had. Five of us had a fantastic meal and a couple of drinks for just over £110, which is pretty good value too. Highly recommended.

Excellent location. Great breakfast selection and menu. Evening food was ok, could have been better. Rooms facilities were excellent and clean. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable stay in the Lake District.

Four of us went for dinner and we all had 3 courses. The food was delicious. We had roast lamb and beef for dinner. Huge plateful of delicious traditional roast. We loved the desserts too - great sticky toffee pudding. This hotel is very warm and friendly. The staff are wonderful. It is in an amazing location.

I stayed here for two nights and enjoyed it. The room was just right, the grounds are lovely, it’s peaceful although there are some exotic peacocks wandering around. The breakfast was really good. I had smoked salmon and scrambled egg all morning and an eggs Benedict on the other Service was good too. Can’t think of any downside to this place. It’s convenient for lots of places to visit in the lakes my room was called hen crag.

We visited spur of the moment and were fortunate to be able to get a table for two. We opted for their roast dinner (one beef, one lamb), both were delicious, generous portions with all the trimmings. The Sticky Toffee Pudding, and the Romanian Pinot Noir were also tasty. Friendly service, Comfortable surroundings. Will visit again.

What a stunning place. Great food, loved the room along with the fabulous gardens and peacock! Will definitely return. Thank you to the lovely lady who looked after us so well. She was incredibly helpful and welcoming.

We sat outside in the sun having a drink. The place was very quiet in late July and looked to be in need of some TLC. The outside space near the road would be lovely with a bit of weeding and some flowers in the wall baskets instead of dead grass!

We visited this lovely English pub for lunch. The views around the property are magical, the drive from Ambleside was lovely. A large wood fire was burning when we arrived. The lunch menu was very good, with usual and unusual dishes on offer, all nicely cooked and presented. Local beers are on tap, as well as a solid little wine list to choose from. This is a family-run operation, where you are made to feel at home, service is professional enough and friendly. Nice place to relax, unwind.
