Elterwater Hostel

Elterwater Hostel is a small, friendly place in the Langdale valley, set in a beautiful village with walks from the door and easy access to the wider Lake District. The building has character, and the rooms and shared spaces are kept clean, warm, and comfortable. The hostel has a strong food setup: home-cooked breakfast and dinner, good value meals, and a self-catering kitchen for people who want to cook for themselves. There is also a drying room, a lounge, a garden area, and enough space for groups to relax after a day outdoors. Staff are helpful, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It works well as a walking base, especially for people heading into the Langdales, the Cumbria Way, or nearby peaks and trails. Parking is off-site, but there is a car park a short walk away, and buses also serve the area.
