The atmosphere of the Britannia was just what we wanted. The meals were top class and the service excellent. It was a perfect location to be in the Lakes District. Central to everything but away from the busy "tourist" towns. The staff were very friendly

Sarah and the rest of the staff were so friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in the door. The bed was really fantastic, probably one of the best beds I've ever slept in. Even though the duvet was a double duvet (we like our single duvets in Scandinavia), it was still wide enough that we didn't wake each other up during the night. I recommend trying the evening platter with local delicacies one night, just remember to pre-order 24 hrs in advance. I would definitely stay here again the next time I come this way.

A wonderful pub and hotel with the most attentive staff. Everything is done with attention to detail and they’ve managed to combine old charm with modern comfort. The location is great for both walking the hills but also walking into Ambleside when you don’t want something too exhausting. We were planning on going somewhere else for dinner but ended up eating at the hotel every night - because there’s really nothing that makes you want to leave!

    Perfect for a walking holiday and a great pub to come back to. The public car park fills up very quickly so get there early. The roads are narrow for driving and walking too. Nearest Newsagent/Grocers is 15mins walk from centre or 5 minutes drive. Pizza/cafe is temporarily closed.

    Ample free parking just a short distance away; parking nearer for half a dozen cars but you have to be lucky to get a space! Very friendly and helpful staff. A lively but small bar (discounts on the beer for CAMRA members!) which is dog friendly and with a good bar food menu. Very good restaurant food - well priced, interesting selection, and very generous sized servings. Within very easy reach of Elterwater and a well made path, or you can be adventurous and explore further afield. This was our second visit; unfortunately my wife isn't as mobile as she used to be, so the stairs to the rooms and ladies toilets are a bit of a challenge.

    Very pleasant but there was some building work going on nearby. The roads near there are narrow, so you must expect some hold ups. The pub itself is very busy and popular. It is easy to get to other beauty spots, but parking in some areas can be a little trying. The pub allows dogs in their bedrooms, and although this did put me off a little, I have to admit that they were all well behaved and there was no evidence that a dog had been in our bedroom. Dogs are not allowed in the dining room. It is essential to book the time you want to eat in the dining room.

    IMO Langdale is the prettiest Valley in the Lake District, Particularly in Spring time. Has 3 or4 good walks, easy by general Lake District standards , many harder walks depending on your fitness. also a good bus service to Ambleside. Also two pubs in the village and another at Chapel Stile, only a 10 min walk away

    I was originally disappointed with the Eltermere Inn, as there was a problem with the bill. after my return, I questioned this and was promptly reinbursed and generously compensated with a complementary meal for two, so I would highly recommend this hotel.

    The location is fab, a really quiet place with a good bus link, on the river. If you're looking for a quick walk, it's just upstream of Skelwith Force on the Cumbrian Way. Elterwater has a big pub and a nice cafe. The Hostel was nice and clean and peaceful. The room was a good size with just 6 beds in it. Showering and cleaning facilities were great. I really liked that if you have the evening meal or breakfast you sit together and this is a great chance to meet and chat with other people.
