TOWNFOOT COTTAGE ELTERWATER

Townfoot Cottage has one parking space, just outside the cottage. Guests with a Tesla or other EV have access to a 7kW charger for electric vehicles. Use of the EV charger is on a metered chargeable basis, please enquire at time for current costs.

We welcome up to two well behaved dogs. If you would like to bring more than two dogs, please contact us to discuss.

The cottage is just a minute’s stroll from the Britannia Inn, in the centre of the village. This traditional Inn serves great food and ales. There is also the Eltermere Inn, further down the road. And in Chapel Stile, a fifteen minute walk away, you can also find the Wainwrights Inn.

There is a village shop in neighbouring Chapel Stile, a five minute drive, or fifteen minute walk from the cottage. This has a good range of items and a tearoom upstairs. There is a Tesco Local in Ambleside and the nearest large supermarket is Booths in Windermere.

Despite it’s rural mountain location, the cottage has excellent, high speed, fibre Wifi.

Townfoot Cottage is in the heart of the Langdale Valley, with amazing walks, straight from the door. If you want an easy stroll, there is a flat, riverside walk, which finishes at Skelwith Bridge, where you can eat out at Chesters Cafe, which overlooks a magnificent waterfall. You are also surrounded by some more energetic ascents to the tops all around the cottage.

Townfoot Cottage’s fantastic cleaning team will leave a duvet and 4 pillows per bed, 4x bath towels, 4x hand towels, a bath mat, tea towels, oven gloves, dishwasher tablets, washing-up liquid, surface cleaner, hand soap, bin liners, 2x toilet rolls, dishes brush, kitchen roll, salt and pepper. There will also be a starter pack of logs, firelighters, matches and kindling if you want to light the log burner (more logs can be bought locally)

We are aware that some holiday cottages choose to leave a welcome basket of food for guests. Regrettably, because of the logistics and the rural location, we do not offer this service. Nonetheless, Alun, Oksana and the fantastic cleaning team make every effort to welcome you to our cosy, well-equipped and clean cottage and we are confident that you will have an amazing stay!

Each of our king-size beds has 4 pillows and a king-size duvet with professionally laundered sheets. There will be 4 bath towels and 4 hand towels, plus tea-towels in the kitchen.

Townfoot Cottage has two king-size bedrooms and one family bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Check-in is from 4pm on Saturday and checkout is by 10am on Saturday. Self-check-in is via a coded key-box, located next to the front door.

Townfoot Cottage is bookable for week-long holidays only. These run Saturday to Saturday, with the exception of Christmas and New Year weeks, where the check-in days may vary.

The cottage sits on the edge of Elterwater Common, with the backdrop of the Langdales, behind it. The views of this landscape vary with season, but year-round, there are likely to be a few of the famous local breed of sheep – Herdwick – wandering around on the road outside, or occasionally napping on the grass opposite.

Alun and Oksana live in Troutbeck – a short drive away. We try to respond promptly to any query, should you need assistance in the cottage. We are also always happy to offer advice and recommendations, in order to help you make the most of your holiday.

We hope that a lot of your questions have been answered here. But if you need more information, after you have booked, Alun and Oksana are happy to provide details.

Townfoot Cottage does not have a garden, but it does open straight out onto Elterwater common, with its amazing 360 degree views and plenty of space to enjoy them! We provide 4 folding camping chairs to sit out on, so you don’t need to pack them.
