There are also outside barn rooms that could sleep an additional 8 people, on request. Elterwater Park is a 16th century Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast offering exclusive-use group accommodation in the heart of the Lake District. Set between Ambleside and Coniston the house provides a comfortable and characterful base for families, friends and walking groups looking to spend time together in a relaxed and scenic setting. The property has five guest bedrooms (three doubles and two twin/king), all with en-suite facilities. Each room includes tea and coffee making facilities, and the house benefits from a cosy lounge with wood burner, a dining room for shared meals, and a beautiful garden with stunning views of Loughrigg. Breakfast can be provided by arrangement, with continental, full English options served in the dining room. For groups celebrating a birthday, anniversary or special occasion, a private three-course group dinner can also be arranged, allowing everyone to dine together on site without needing to go out. Alternatively, a local pub serving food is just a short walk away. Elterwater Park is on the Cumbria Way and so is particularly well suited to walkers. Footpaths lead directly from the front door to Elterwater, Cathedral Caves, Little Langdale, Loughrigg Fell and Tarn Howes, meaning many classic Wainwright routes can be enjoyed without the need to drive. After a day on the hills, the garden offers a peaceful place to relax. The house also suits quieter retreat-style stays, including writing, art or photography groups, where the calm location and landscape provide inspiration. With its traditional Lakeland feel, flexible catering options and excellent location, Elterwater Park offers a welcoming and practical base for groups looking to explore the central Lakes together.
