The Eltermere Old Barn, Elterwater

The Eltermere Old Barn enjoys an enviable position, next to the Eltermere Inn with the most beautiful view out over Elterwater with Loughrigg Fell to your left, Park Fell and Black Fell to your right and Wansfell straight over Elterwater in the distance. Sit on the terrace outside the kitchen and take it all in. This is surely the heart of the Lake District – you will certainly lose your heart to it!
Sleeps 8 – 3 Doubles (Master with ensuite), and 1 twin room.

Leaving the outstanding views and stepping into the beautiful farmhouse-style kitchen, there is a great sense of space, with the large kitchen island and traditional Aga range. This is the perfect room to prepare and enjoy family meals or celebrate a special occasion together. The large living room next door is the perfect place to relax with it’s contemporary furnishings and traditional décor. Privacy is assured with stairs to the bedroom floor at both ends of the house, and the mix of contemporary and traditional styling is continued throughout the four bedrooms, which all enjoy the views out towards Elterwater. The sense of luxury is complimented by the three bathrooms, which are light and modern.

I won't be available in person, but please feel free to contact me with any questions. My Wheelwrights Team are also on hand in the office in Elterwater. Short Breaks maybe available subject to availability - contact the Wheelwrights office for more information.

The Old Barn is well placed to explore both Great Langdale and Little Langdale. Elterwater is the picture perfect Lake District village which boasts one of the best pubs in the area, along with a lovely little café. Just next door, the Eltermere Inn is probably one of the most beautiful country house hotels in the area and which has a fantastic dinner menu and the perfect spot to enjoy lunch or afternoon tea.

Lovely spacious house and perfect location .Pillows need replacing as very old & thin ! The outside patio and steps look rather unkempt.
