Great lodge with everything you need. Peaceful place, good amenities and location. The only downside was some rubbish at the patio left by previous guests, lack of dishwashing liquid and greasy pans. So cleaning could be a bit better

We had a fantastic time. The lodge was more than we expected and the wine on arrival was a welcoming touch. We hope to be back one day!

We were very happy with Elterwater. It is in a lovely area and close to a lot of amenities. You do need a car but everything is close by. I also had cause to speak to the owner and they were helpful. Unfortunately we had to leave early due to our dog having an injured paw, We hope to return.
