Cottage holiday rentals in Elterwater

What a wonderful place for a peaceful break away. The house was so comfortable with all the amenities needed. The hot tub was a lovely addition too! My son, who loves wildlife photography, absolutely adored the river. He spent every possible moment down there photographing Kingfishers! I would definitely recommend to anyone who loves birds and wildlife.

Beautiful home, very spacious and plenty of amenities. felt right at home! perfect for toddlers too. Ian was great, very helpful and easily contactable.

We arrived on the Friday for a 3 night stay. The Barn is in a beautiful place inside and out. The Hot Tub was lovely on an evening and the patio fire was great to sit around for drinks early evening watching the Sun go down. Casterton village is only a couple of miles from Kirkby Lonsdale. The village its self had a gorgeous pub 7 mins walk from the Barn which had a great range of food and served Sourdough pizza on Sunday evening after 1700hrs with a lovely warm atmosphere and open fires. There is a great taxi service and some fabulous restaurants near to the Barn. The Black Bull and the Highwayman were fabulous. (We did go to Number 9 also and it was not somewhere I could recommend, service and food really poor.) Patrick and Anika were great responsive hosts and this is a do not miss property, that offers every you need for a fabulous stay. Our little group loved it. Thank you Karen, Denise and Naomi

We have just returned from a few nights away staying at this little piece of paradise. If you’re after a tranquil, relaxing holiday then this is the place to stay. From the house itself, to the spectacular views , the amazing pool house and the lovely, friendly neighbours, this place ticks all the boxes and more. Highly recommend visiting The Queens Arms for a meal (or just a cheeky drink), the staff are so friendly and just made our time away extra special. Malham is only a 20 min (ish) drive away and is stunning (a must see). The only thing I would advise is to make sure you take plenty of supplies (or do an online shop for delivery as we did) as the local shop is a 20min drive away. Thankyou again David, we will definitely be back.

Teapot Cottage is a beautiful place to stay. It was very well kitted out, decorated very nicely, and had lots of nice touches to make our stay even better. Lammisa was a great host - very responsive and friendly, and was happy to help whenever needed. There's great local amenities within walking distance, and several local villages and towns within a short drive, including Ennerdale Lake. The place was very comfortable, with plenty of seating indoor and out, with several comfy beds suitable for a group of adults. The only thing to be aware of is that the bedroom with the bunk beds has very little storage space, so if you're staying for a few days and have a large bag/suitcase - you'll need to find somewhere else to put it! Overall - we were all very pleased with this stay and we'd definitely book again in future.

Hermitage cottage was in a beautiful situation right on the river Lune. The cottage was clean and tidy. We enjoyed the hot tub, the barbecue and the outdoor seating. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and really enjoyed our stay. Walks around the estate were lovely. It is a lovely base to explore the Forest of Bowland and surrounding areas.

Great cottage, had everything we need and the location was great for what we were doing. Hot tub was an added bonus for the trip.

Just returned for a few days away with friends. The place is stunning with a lot of space! Everything was as described if not better. Nicola is a great host, replies quickly and was very helpful. We all had a great time and would 100% recommend to others. Thank you.

Michael's place was a perfect base for our 5 days in the Lakes. The house was really well set up with a fully equipped kitchen, balcony with great views, wood burner and TV with netflix. The bed was super comfy although as others have noted there are low ceilings downstairs (where bedrooms and bathroom are) so not ideal if you're tall. I'm 6ft and I could just get away without ducking when walking around, however the shower was awkward to use and I had to contort myself to avoid bumping my head. That's a minor issue though as otherwise the place was great. The location is also very convenient for accessing lots of lovely parts of the Lakes - we didn't need to use the car for 2 of the days, spending one on Ullswater and Aire Force waterfalls, and another climbing Helvellyn, both walkable from the house.

What an absolute gem we found in Apple House. The pictures really don't do the whole place justice! A cosy, romantic house set in beautiful, serene surroundings. It really was the perfect location for our mini moon! Was lovely to be greeted by the chickens and Russel the dog each morning <3 We were treated to some tasty welcome gifts and the place was spotless, very comfy bed and just the most charming decor. Thank you so much Emma and Craig! We will definitely be returning with more of our family!

We had a great family stay at Fell Cottage to celebrate my 65th. Lynn was a very proactive communicator and always quick to respond to any messages left for her. The cottage is exactly as stated in the descriptions and photos and spotlessly clean on arrival. The house manual had lots of great recommendations for walks and places to eat. The cottage has great access to Coniston Water and to the Old Man. Unfortunately the weather didn't play ball with us, but it didn't spoil our stay. Fell Cottage gets a whole hearted recommendation from us.

Coming from the States, we were looking for a quintessential Yorkshire Dales experience: someplace peaceful and quiet with beautiful scenery. This place fit the bill perfectly. The house was very comfortable and we especially loved the shower, beds and comforters. It really is self catered so be sure to bring any cooking staples you will need. Beautiful artwork throughout the house, and some great magazines to read on rainy days. We did have an issue on the second to last day we were there - the power went out for no apparent reason. Luckily we were able to isolate the problem circuit and get things partially working again. Claire was very helpful and arranged for showers we could use in the cabins at the main property down the road. All in all, it was a lovely location and we would definitely stay there again.

Lovely, cosy cottage. Very warm, despite the inclement weather. Under floor heating was lovely! We lit a fire one evening, although we didn't really need it, and it was great!

Alison is a delightful lady. So kind and helpful. Her cottage ( we stayed in Jemima Puddleduck) was very comfortable. Beds and pullows especially and all spotlessly clean. All we needed was provided Alison had thought of everything. We had a fantastic week. Thank you.

The cottage was stunning and in a beautiful setting, ideally located for getting to and around the lake. Highly recommend for a family get away for beautiful scenery and tranquility.

Rose Cottage is a truly wonderful place to stay. We had a fantastic break with our two dogs and couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing and well-equipped home base. Jo has thought of every detail—from the exceptionally well-stocked kitchen for home-cooked meals, to the shelves filled with books, board games, and a brilliant selection of hiking guides to help you plan your next adventure. The beds are incredibly comfortable, which is a real treat after a day out walking. If you’d rather take it easy, the garden offers the perfect spot to unwind. The location is excellent, with scenic walks right from the doorstep and easy access to the touristy spots in the Lakes. Caldbeck has everything you might need, a great pub, a couple of charming cafés, a local shop, and more. Jo and Chris are truly inspiring hosts. It was a joy to hear about their adventures and journey with Rose Cottage. They were also incredibly generous with their time, going above and beyond when our car broke down.

Just loved this cottage, its in a great location, no need to go out in your car as there is plently to do nearby. The cottage is very clean and nicely done out. It is well equipped, with a nice little hamper box on arrival. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Five stars from us.

We had a fantastic stay here. It was very last minute due to our other accommodation being canceled, but luckily Joanna was quick to communicate and reassure us that the accommodation would be ready for check-in on the day we booked. Thanks, Oli & Meg

We had a wonderful mini-break here. Since our host had been so helpful about where to eat, places to visit and local walks we felt we really made the most of our time. It’s a beautiful house in a lovely location…..very peaceful but easy to reach lots of places.

We stayed for a week in Fox Corner for our mini moon and it was perfect for our needs - location couldn’t get better for visiting all of the local spots and there are so many beautiful walks right from the front door. Our pooch was also very comfortable and we appreciated the doggie bed and towel! Dave was so responsive and helpful when we had a minor issue during our stay. We enjoyed the hot tub after coming back from a busy day exploring. Fox Corner had all the bits we needed to have a cosy and comfortable stay. We would definitely return!

Beautiful cottage in a great location We had a lovely 3 night stay and enjoyed visiting Ambleside & Bowness There’s some amazing views The hot tub was amazing the seating area outside could do with a clean Just a few little downsides to our stay The cottage is dog friendly we visited with my sister and Moms dogs and the gardens where not secure they had open fencing. Inside the cottage there where a lot of cobwebs around most windows and up corners of ceilings. We didn’t cook at the cottage as we ate out but the microwave and oven were not the cleanest. The bathrooms could do with some hand soap as most places I’ve visited before provide this. On day of departure it is requested that you strip the beds the duvet on our bed had a very large stain on maybe it would be an idea to use duvet protectors It’s not the cleanest of places it needs some TLC, however we did not spend much time at the cottage so didn’t disrupt our visit to the lakes.

Lovely house in a beautiful location. Troutbeck is a lovely village with 3 great pubs and cafe which also sells essentials. There are plenty of walks from the village with the rest of the Lake District at your doorstep. We had a great time

Amazing place to stay! Caroline has brilliant communication and eased all of our doubts prior to our trip; great location, amazing views, lots to do. Caroline’s place is so clean, super comfy beds, modern bathroom and kitchen, amazing amenities, just the perfect place. Would highly recommend!

Great lovely little cottage that was very homely and a great place to relax after exploring the lakes! The village of elterwater is lovely and peaceful and so much to do you could nearly get away without going off on the car anywhere as there is a regular bus service that runs every hour! We all said we would defiantly stay again if we was to come to the Lake District as this place had every thing you needed! We would def recommend 👍👍 Thanks for a lovely stay
