Jonty’s is a well converted barn, originally a sawmill for local cartwrights and joiners when the village provided gunpowder for the local slate mines. It is now the ground floor of two well appointed apartments in this fabulous Langdale village.
Located in the picturesque village of Elterwater, this cottage has been a long time favourite for walkers enjoying Loughrigg Fell from the doorstep, The Langdale Pikes, or just gentle strolls along the beck or over to Grasmere for gingerbread teas. There is outside seating to soak up the sun and enjoy the views, or snuggle up in front of the wood burning stove inside and relax after a day exploring.
From Jonty’s lounge, sit back and relax in front of the wood burning stove, enjoy the breath-taking views of the Lake District fells and let stress melt away. Jonty’s cottage blends traditional Lake District charm with modern contemporary comfort.
Private off-road parking for one car is available onsite and we welcome up to two well behaved dogs.
Elterwater is a charming village in the heart of Langdale and the Lake District. The famous Britannia Inn is just a short stroll away from the front door and Slates Bistro is on the corner opposite Elterwater’s magnificent maple tree. For fine dining, the welcoming Eltermere Inn is a five minute walk away over the stone bridge that spans the River Brathay. Surrounded by extensive lawns framed with awe-inspiring views, the Eltermere Inn combines the highest standards of service, good food and informality.
For those who wish to explore further afield, a bus stop is located opposite Elterwater’s magnificent maple tree. Buses are frequent and connect guests with the wider towns and outstanding scenery of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Leaving the car behind and jumping on a bus to explore the National Park not only helps to look after the spectacular landscape but also gives passengers the opportunity to see it without the challenge of negotiating narrow, and sometimes steep, country lanes or search for parking at your destination. By sitting back watching the landscape go by, the journey becomes part of your adventure!

Tucked away in the stunning Langdale Valley, Elterwater is a picture-perfect Lake District village, known for its peaceful setting, charming stone cottages, and the beautiful tarn that gives the village its name. With the dramatic Langdale Pikes rising in the background and riverside walks right on the doorstep, it’s a favourite spot for walkers and photographers alike.
Elterwater is just a short walk or drive from Chapel Stile and easily reached from Ambleside via the A593 and B5343. The nearest train station is at Windermere, around 8 miles away, with bus and taxi connections into the valley.
From here, you can enjoy gentle strolls along the River Brathay to Elterwater Tarn, more challenging hikes into the surrounding fells, or simply relax and take in the views. The friendly local pub and the nearby Eltermere Hotel offer welcoming spots to eat and drink after a day exploring.
With its idyllic scenery, quiet charm, and easy access to both Langdale and the central Lakes, Elterwater is an ideal base for enjoying the very best of the Lake District.
