Eat and Drink in the Area
We’re lucky to have some excellent food and drink options right on our doorstep.
There are numerous food and drink options within easy reach of the Hostel.
No visit to Elterwater is really complete without stopping in at the Britannia Inn for a pint of local ale, they also serve excellent pub meals.
Turning right out of our gate you’ll soon find the Eltermere Inn, more of a fine dining experience, for which pre-booking is essential.
The newly opened Lanty Slee, just over the road and up the hill, offers cocktails and a saloon bar menu.
Slightly further afield, but well worth the walk (or a drive), Chesters by the River, near Skelwith Bridge, and the Wainwrights Inn, in Chapel Stile, make good pit stops on your hike, or cycle.
Nearby Ambleside has a mouth watering selection of eateries to suit any budget. Some of our favourites include the Rattle Ghyll Deli with a full take away menu, the Golden Rule pub, a hidden gem for walkers and a favourite with locals.
For beer, we’re surrounded by fantastic pubs, with too many to name, but Conisiton Brewing Company has an on site pub offering award winning Ales straight from the brewery!
We are absolutely loving these bright early mornings in the valley

It’s not every day that Gandalf, Frodo and friends turn up in Elterwater, but this fellowship brought plenty of laughter and fun to the Hostel this past weekend.
Walking the Cumbria Way in full costume, they joined us for a well earned evening of food, drinks and laughter, and a good rest!
Those costumes also got a much needed airing in the drying room 🤣

Sunny Sunday of jobs in the garden to keep things looking lovely! Lawns were mowed, picnic benches repaired, and a Bluebird from @conistonbrewco was definitely earned!

We’re delighted to share that we have again received the Travellers’ Choice award from @tripadvisor !
A big thank you to all our guests and everyone who’s left us a review this year!
Summer season is well and truly upon us, but there’s still plenty of availability if you still haven’t booked your next stay!

A cup of tea, a misty morning, and this glorious old tree!

One of our favourite views, but we’ll give the bench a miss for now 🤦♂️

A moment of calm, water under the bridge, Elterwater.

These lovely ladies stayed with us as part of their 3 Day Cumbria Way attempt. Cracking weather for it!
