The Wordsworth Hotel, hotel in Elterwater

In the heart of Grasmere and surrounded by the towering mountains of the Lake District, the historic 4-star Wordsworth Hotel is set in riverside gardens and has an award-winning restaurant.

Our accommodation was very good. Although we had to wait longer than expected.v no swimming pool. No fine dining. No residents bar. A shame. Completely different from last year when we looked over the hotel. The food was too run of the mill. Eat lunch time same menu in evening. Got told off for wanting to look at the residents bar that was closed. There seemed to be a lack of resources. To offer a drinks voucher instead of having your room cleaned each morning, would seem to be the sign of resourcing problem. Having said all of this the Manager did his very best. Breakfast was excellent. The Lakes are our favourite holiday destination. But we would think twice about going back to the Wordswirth , such a shame as we had planned to make it an annual pilgrimage. l

    Ample free parking just a short distance away; parking nearer for half a dozen cars but you have to be lucky to get a space! Very friendly and helpful staff. A lively but small bar (discounts on the beer for CAMRA members!) which is dog friendly and with a good bar food menu. Very good restaurant food - well priced, interesting selection, and very generous sized servings. Within very easy reach of Elterwater and a well made path, or you can be adventurous and explore further afield. This was our second visit; unfortunately my wife isn't as mobile as she used to be, so the stairs to the rooms and ladies toilets are a bit of a challenge.

    Very pleasant but there was some building work going on nearby. The roads near there are narrow, so you must expect some hold ups. The pub itself is very busy and popular. It is easy to get to other beauty spots, but parking in some areas can be a little trying. The pub allows dogs in their bedrooms, and although this did put me off a little, I have to admit that they were all well behaved and there was no evidence that a dog had been in our bedroom. Dogs are not allowed in the dining room. It is essential to book the time you want to eat in the dining room.

    IMO Langdale is the prettiest Valley in the Lake District, Particularly in Spring time. Has 3 or4 good walks, easy by general Lake District standards , many harder walks depending on your fitness. also a good bus service to Ambleside. Also two pubs in the village and another at Chapel Stile, only a 10 min walk away

    I was originally disappointed with the Eltermere Inn, as there was a problem with the bill. after my return, I questioned this and was promptly reinbursed and generously compensated with a complementary meal for two, so I would highly recommend this hotel.

    Elterwater is a lovely traditional village not far from Grasmere. The village has old and new places to eat, we especially enjoyed a meal in Lanty Slees (named after a local bootlegger)The greek owners are charming hosts and made the evening memorable, we are planning on visiting again very soon

    I love Elterwater, I go to the Langdale timeshares every year. Our family is growing and I wanted a bolt hole just for sleeping. This cottage is not the answer. The new owners were disinterested and said that they wouldn’t be continuing the letting. However they had taken on guests for this year and should have been more welcoming.

    My husband and I came for an overnight stay with our golden retriever. The room was very comfortable and clean. The setting was absolutely beautiful, a lovely coffee shop across the road selling cakes and ice cream with an outdoor seating area. A fabulous walk alongside the stream which brings you out at a lovely shop and Cafe, with amazing scenery along the way. We enjoyed a lovely evening meal at the Inn and a gorgeous breakfast. Sheep wondering around grazing on the lawn infront of the pub what more could you ask for? 😃

    The location is fab, a really quiet place with a good bus link, on the river. If you're looking for a quick walk, it's just upstream of Skelwith Force on the Cumbrian Way. Elterwater has a big pub and a nice cafe. The Hostel was nice and clean and peaceful. The room was a good size with just 6 beds in it. Showering and cleaning facilities were great. I really liked that if you have the evening meal or breakfast you sit together and this is a great chance to meet and chat with other people.

    Loved everything about this hotel. It was quiet, had gorgeous views, outdoor tables and seating to enjoy the fresh air, a lovely pub feel restaurant at the back and a beautiful restaurant area for breakfast. I think I was upgraded to a different room which was so cosy and comfortable. Staff were chilled out, friendly and helpful. Loved my stay here, thank you.

    Food was excellent. We walked to our accommodation and only needed one night stay as was walking on again, doing the Cumbria way. All of Elterwater is a little pricey when other surrounding towns are a little cheaper for accommodation. I think because of the lack of accommodation it is overpriced. However was a truly excellent visit.

    We came to enjoy the gorgeous Lake District and the Eltemere Inn was the perfect location to use as our base. What a charming village Elterwater is! And one day we returned to our room to find four peacocks just hangin' around by the steps to our room, located in a building adjoining the main lodge.

    Love the location at the heart of Lake District with lots of walking trails around the area. The hotel and staff were very accommodating, especially with dogs! Great value for money, with tea and coffee available in rooms, as well as cozy bedroom, bed and shower.

    Fabulous views and really well located for hiking Wainwright hills. Elterwater is a lovely small village with a good pub and another good one nearby. A shop in nearby Chapel Stile has a good selection but a bit pricey so stock up before you go if you can.
