Keira’s Cottage is set back from the main road in Elterwater – a beautiful little village in the heart of Langdale with some of the best walking in the Lake District pretty much right from the doorstep. It boasts an airy and spacious open plan living room with a mezzanine bedroom floor and vaulted ceiling. Fittings and flooring are in oak.
Leading off the living room, the kitchen is well designed and equipped with Neff appliances. A separate utility room has additional storage and clothes washing facilities. Two en-suite bedrooms are towards the back of the cottage ensuring privacy, peace and quiet.
To the front of the property is a small seating, a perfect place for soaking up the south facing aspect, along with parking for two cars to the rear.
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 babbling River Brathay. Surrounded by extensive lawns framed with awe-inspiring views, the Eltermere Inn combines the highest standards of service, good food and informality.
A mile away in Chapel Stile is a well-stocked village shop providing all the essentials. Larger shops are located in Ambleside and Windermere.
For those who wish to explore further afield, a bus stop is located opposite Elterwater’s 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.
