Overview
Property code: OC-GL088

A lovely single-storey property situated in the centre of Elterwater, this is the ideal escape for a relaxing and active holiday for a large family or a group of friends – just an easy drive from all the attractions of the Lake District. Elterwater is a picturesque village and the gateway to the Langdale Valley and the Langdale Peaks. Nearby activities include cycling, fishing, water sports and climbing. For walkers, the Loughrigg Fell, Skelwith Force and Cathedral Cave hiking areas are 1, 1.5 and 3 miles away respectively. Alternatively, you can visit Brockhole Lake District Visitor Centre (6 miles) or The World of Beatrix Potter (9 miles).

This is a comfortable, traditional stone bungalow, beautifully decorated with individual artwork and offering bright and inviting spaces perfect for spending time together. The lounge has two comfortable sofas, a Smart TV and dual-aspect windows overlooking the garden and fells. A splendid wood burner gives the room a cosy warmth and there's plenty of space for dining, making this an ideal place to unwind after a busy day exploring or hiking. From the lounge, a door leads onto the covered veranda and into the garden. The kitchen is equipped with everything to cater to your needs. A games room, three spacious and elegantly decorated bedrooms - two king-size and one twin - and two bathrooms (one of them with underfloor heating), complete the offering of this fine bungalow.

The rear covered veranda, lawned garden and patio area with garden furniture are the perfect place to eat and drink alfresco while taking in the magnificent view of the fells.

We have been twice now and love this cottage. Has everything you need. Nice touch from owners on sending us a postcard to welcome us. Sadly we had to leave early due to an illness in our party. Britannia pub is great though pints getting more and more expensive. Take a walk down to Chester by the river. Dont read negative reviews on website regardRead moreing chesters its great food and a lovely walk to and from the cottage. Hope to visit again soon. Hide

Lovely property - well located and very comfortable. Two maintenance issues - 1. The TV remote control was not working properly, so I had to replace the two AAA batteries with new ones, which solved the problem. 2. When it rained heavily, water was squirting out of a joint (about 1 metre above ground level) in the gutter downpipe at the far eRead morend of the veranda at the back of the house. I suspect the drain that it feeds into is blocked, so the water pressure is forcing water out of the joint. Hide

Anniversary Cottage is in a fantastic location. We didnt use our car once during our stay as there were so many fantastic walks straight from the property. One day we walked over to Grasmere and then got the open top bus into Ambleside (come approx every 20 mins) and then another bus back to Elterwater (theyre roughly every 2 hours). We were walkinRead moreg distance of at least three pubs/restaurants with The Britannia being about a 2 minute walk. We used the Langdale CoOp at Chapel Style for all our groceries and thats a 10/15 minute walk along the riverside (half a mile there). The house itself was super comfortable (two couples & a single adult) with glorious views. We cooked in 5 of the 7 nights and the kitchen had everything that we needed. We were lucky enough to be able to sit outside most evenings too. The beds were large & comfortable with cotton bedding and big, decent towels. Both bathrooms were decent too with great water pressure to the showers. The only area for comment was the kitchen which could do with some attention in places. For instance, the washing machine was grimy on the rubber inside the door, the cooker extractor needed new grease filters and a bit of a clean, some of the cupboard fronts needed a good wipe & there were a few cobwebs. Nothing earth shattering but just made the difference between a good and fantastic review which is a shame as everywhere else was absolutely lovely. The new carpet throughout is just gorgeous and we all just loved the decor in the bedrooms and sitting room. We would definitely recommend this super comfortable property as an ideal base for walking in the Langdales. Hide

I am being picky when I say greasy smears on glass of verandah door. Seems expensive for time of year but appreciate prime location. Had a wonderful week and definitely expect to return
