In the very heart of the Lake District, yet a restful step away from the crowds of Windermere and Ambleside, the unspoilt Lakeland village of Elterwater is one of the most picturesque in the Lake District, and gateway to the famous Langdale valley. Indeed, as you come over the rise into Elterwater from Skelwith Bridge, you’re confronted with a typical Lakeland view: sheep grazing on the common in front of white-washed cottages with slate roofs, and the craggy peaks of the Langdale Pikes rising behind.

Set in the grounds of Meadow Bank, a stone and slate Victorian house in the centre of Elterwater, this entirely separate holiday home makes a cosy cottage for 2 people. The open plan design provides a lounge area with comfortable wing chairs, 26" TV and DVD, and a deep bay conservatory style window looking onto the rear garden; there is also a dining table which seats two people. The bedroom has a double bed, pine bedside chests and bedside lamps. The farmhouse pine kitchenette has a fridge, Stoves oven and 4-ring hob (including 2 halogen hobs) and microwave. Leading from the kitchenette, (separated by a door) a passage with a built-in wardrobe leads to the new shower room. The cottage has oil fired central heating.
