Victory Cottage is a delightful and well furnished traditional terraced property right in the heart of Elterwater and the Langdale Valley.
Well equipped, this lovely little cottage has everything you need for a stay in the Lakes with an open plan kitchen-diner-living space, cosy log burner, smart TV and two double bedrooms on the first floor. One bedroom is en-suite with a shower over the bath. There is a separate shower room.
Walking is easy from the front door over Elterwater common towards Grasmere, Loughrigg Tarn or alongside the river towards Skelwith Bridge and Chesters by the River Cafe.
Elterwater is at the heart of one of the best loved areas of the Lake District; the gateway to Langdale, some of the most dramatic scenery in the Lakes and best loved fells and pikes.
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.
There is a designated parking space for one car outside the property.
For those who wish to explore further afield, a bus stop is located opposite the Britannia Inn. 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.
