    “I should start this with the context that we had terrible weather (not your fault!”

    ) and I also got food poisoning (lunch at the Britania Inn seems to have been the culprit), so it wasn't exactly the most enjoyable week spent at the Lodge. Listing references "2.5 acres of land to roam in", not sure where that 2.5 acres is as the fenced off garden at the lodge is nothing like that big. There was a paddock type field next to the lodge, but I didn't see any info in the lodge to hint that it was land that we could use. Listing also references the lodge to be "A true Lake ...

    ) and I also got food poisoning (lunch at the Britania Inn seems to have been the culprit), so it wasn't exactly the most enjoyable week spent at the Lodge. Listing references "2.5 acres of land to roam in", not sure where that 2.5 acres is as the fenced off garden at the lodge is nothing like that big. There was a paddock type field next to the lodge, but I didn't see any info in the lodge to hint that it was land that we could use. Listing also references the lodge to be "A true Lake District hideaway". I suspect that was written before the absolutely huge house was built right next to the Lodge, which overlooks the whole of the house. We agree with the other published feedback re. sofas in the lounge. They're really not very comfortable and definntely not when your watching the TV which is set high on the wall [unfortunately due to weather and illness I did a lot of TV watching :( ]. Lighting in the lounge was a bit binary as well, very bright with the main ceiling lights on, and only two standard lamps as the alternative. Dimmer on the main lights would have been nice. General quality of the Lodge was very good, but there were a couple of things that need some attention ... one of the curtain rail brackets in the living room was close to pulling away from the wall, and similarly, one of the raidator brackets in the shared upstairs bathroom was coming away from the wall. The back door also stuck, probably due to the very wet weather, it needed quite a nudge to get it open.

The property

A true Lake District hideaway. Situated at the end of its own gravel drive, with 2.5 acres of land to roam in this beautifully renovated Elterwater, is just a 10-minute walk into the village itself, with the famous Britannia Inn and a delightful coffee shop and walks galore. The Eltermere Inn is just a 5-minute stroll from your front door. An ideal location to relax and take stock while enjoying the encompassing views of Red Bank, with Helvellyn proudly peeking through in the distance. Elterwater and the Langdales provide plenty of options for walkers from gentle lakeside strolls to challenging mountain climbs. Nearby fells and the Langdale Pikes combine to form impressive scenery whilst farmland and settlement add aesthetic value to the natural scenery with an ecology modified by human influence including important wildlife habitats.

About the location

LANGDALE

The small hamlet of Little Langdale quietly sits in a scenic valley and consists of a scattering of houses and a local pub. The area is separated by the Lingmoor Fell from Great Langdale and is accessed via a twisting road which runs alongside the Brathay River, eventually passing by Little Langdale Tarn and heading to the Wrynose pass, following the path of an ancient Roman road. The landscape is magnificent with many regarding the area as the most beautiful in the British Isles, if not indeed the whole of Europe, inspiring many great poets over the years including William Wordsworth, known for his love of the area. With Ambleside and the whole of the National Park within easy reach, this magical location is not to be missed!

Two well-behaved pets welcome, £20 per pet, per week supplement.
