The Eltermere Inn

A Langdale inn with a flat weekly dog rate and the fells at the gate

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A country inn beside Elter Water in the Langdale valley, with a bar, a dining room and a garden looking across to the Langdale Pikes. The dog charge is a flat GBP 15 for stays up to a week rather than a nightly rate, which makes a longer walking week considerably cheaper. Dogs are welcome in the bar but not the dining room. It suits walkers heading for Langdale and Coniston.

Why it's in the collection

Elter Water is a two-minute walk and the Cumbria Way path to Skelwith Force and Colwith Force runs past the door, with the Langdale Pikes starting three miles up the valley.

A dog can only be left in the room if it is crated, never otherwise.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

Up to two dogs per dog-friendly room, booked by phone rather than online so the right room is held. Dogs are welcome in the bar and in the outdoor areas of the grounds, but not in the dining room. Dogs must be on the lead and with their owner in all public areas. A dog can only be left in the room when crated.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
