Location
Stunning walks and scenery right on your doorstep.
Surrounded by the fells of the beautiful Langdale Valley, Elterwater Hostel makes a perfect base for cycling, walking and climbing trips to the Lakes, or simply a fantastic spot to escape to for a quiet break.
Situated some 4.5 miles West of Ambleside and 3 miles South of Grasmere, a variety of cultural attractions, including the Beatrix Potter and Wordsworth museums, and many restaurants and cafés are within easy reach.
Elterwater itself is home to one of England’s best old pubs, The Britannia Inn, listed in the Good Beer Guide, with an ever-changing selection of locally brewed ales and a hugely popular menu. The Wainwright Inn, another traditional Lakeland pub, is just a short walk along the river towards Chapel Stile.

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!
