“We have stayed at Brathay View five times, which tells you how much we love this property.”

The open plan living is perfect for us with our well behaved black Labrador Fern. It’s so comfortable in a prime location with many walks straight out of the front door. We love the Elterwater circular walk & Loughrigg Tarn. Highly recommended.

A few seconds stroll to Chesters, a stylish cafe and shop, on the river bank and also to The Skelwith Bridge Hotel for eating out. Elterwater and Britannia Inn 2 miles.
