Found in the corner of a small courtyard of traditional Lakeland cottages, dog friendly, Townfoot self catering cottage provides two bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The holiday self catering cottage entrance brings you into the contemporary, luxury-fitted kitchen and eating area. Alongside is the living area where you can relax and in colder weather, enjoy the warmth of a log-burning stove, while the large windows allow the Lakeland light to flood in.
There is a useful laundry/cloakroom at the foot of the stairs and upstairs there are two stylish bedrooms with window seats, where you can enjoy the lovely views. The modern family bathroom is designed for long, luxurious soaks after a hard day on the fells!
Private parking is right outside the cottage. This self catering cottage can be booked for whole weeks only, Saturday to Saturday.
Great Place To Stay And Relax Amazing
By Sean C on 30-Mar-2018
This is without doubt one of the best properties we have stayed at during our many years of travelling. There was absolutely nothing negative to say about it . The area and the like local pubs are great and to come back to this property after a great day sight seeing and walking makes our weeks holiday and one we will remember for a long time
Thanks Helen and Sean Birmingham 17th - 24th March 2018
Excellent Dog Friendly Cottage And Location :)
By Rachel S on 29-Jan-2018
This is our 2nd stay at this cottage,
we've also stayed at the owners other Holiday Cottage in Troutbeck.
We highly recommend both properties, they're both decorated to a high standard and are very comfortable, a welcome pack of logs for the fire is also a nice touch. Their location is excellent for both fell walking and country pubs. We will definitely return!
Excellent Customer Service
By John on 24-Jan-2018
Unfortunately we had to postpone our planned visit for this time, but was really impressed by owner Alun’s response to our cancellation. He provided immediate repayment of our deposit , which also gives us a very good impression to his level of service and focus on customer satisfaction.

Townfoot Cottage Is A Super Place!
By Mrs Susan B. on 09-Sep-2017
We have just returned from Townfoot Holiday Cottage in Elterwater.
The Holiday Cottage was well furnished/equiped - - nice comfy beds, fluffy white bath towels, fully kitted out modern kitchen with everything you could want for your holiday stay - including a Bosch dishwasher, built in microwave oven and high tech. electric oven/hob etc.
The Utility Room/drying room was brilliant for all of our wet clothes and there was a washer/dryer which proved useful on a couple of occasions too. The LOCATION was brilliant and we'd recommend the food at the Britannia Pub just a hop skip and a jump away from the Holiday Cottage - - - - and Chesters by the River - Skelwith Bridge.
Elterwater really is a such a pretty place to stay - we are looking forward to a return visit next year! :o)
Fantastic Holiday In The Lakes
By Anne C. on 21-Aug-2017
Really enjoyed our stay in this very cosy Holiday Cottage in the beautiful village of Elterwter. With great walks and good pubs and restaurants on your door step. Highly recommended.
Cosy, Well-appointed, Well-equipped, Beautiful Location
By Claire K. on 02-Aug-2017
We spent a fabulous week here with our 10- and 12-year-olds, and Townsfoot Holiday Cottage was perfect for what we needed - a base from which to explore one of our favourite corners of the Lakes. Circular walks from the front door with no need to drive somewhere and park was an additional bonus for us.
Everything was as you would want to for a week of walking, biking and boating - the weather was relatively kind to us, and every evening we came back to a cosy comfortable home-from-home to relax in.
The kitchen isn't overly well equipped for adventurous cheffing, but was perfectly adequate for our family meals :) and having a washing machine was invaluable.
Thank you
Lakes July 2017
By Sue F. on 15-Jul-2017
Lovely week. Holiday Cottage is well appointed and in a superb location, ideal to visit anywhere within the Lake District. Lots of walks and places to visit.
Townfoot Cottage Is A Great Place To Stay
By Richie H. on 20-Jun-2017
The Holiday Cottage is everything it describes itself as, cosy rooms that are tastefully decorated and well appointed. The drying room/washing facilities were great but unfortunately need as we enjoyed more than our fair share of rain, this didn't stop us enjoying our stay. The walks from the doorstep take some beating and having a lovely pub with beer garden at the end of the lane to return to after a hard days slog was always a welcome bonus. We loved the overall feel of this cottage, from the log fire to the sheep on the doorstep.
Elterwater is a picture perfect village and we will be back again soon.
Fantastic Cottage
By Alison W. on 05-Jun-2017
The Holiday Cottage was fantastic, very comfortable and clean. Elterwater is a wonderful position to explore all of the Lake District with lots of varied walks right from the door.
Definitely be back !
Fantastic
By Emma S. on 28-May-2017
The Holiday Cottage was lovely. Very clean and comfortable with fabulous views. The location is ideal with lovely pubs on the doorstep and all are dog friendly. We will be coming back.
Good Location And Excellent Facilities, Lovely Cottage.
By ANTHONY M. on 07-May-2017
The Holiday Cottage was well appointed which led to a lovely relaxing week in the heart of Langdale.
A Very Comfortable And Well Equipped Cottage.
By Helen E on 11-Apr-2017
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Townfoot, the Holiday Cottage was clean, well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. Ideally situated and just a stroll from the pub, essential after a day on the fells, which are all easily accessed from the Holiday Cottage - a car free week! Groceries available from the stores just a short walk away in a very well stocked shop. When eating out we used The Wainwrights and were never disappointed and a lovely lunch was had in the Eltermere, again very nearby. The ONLY issue was that the smoke detector was a little too enthusiastic but we soon learnt to put the toaster under the cooker hood!
A little message from Alun to check that all was well was nice to receive and we had no problem's at all.
A great place to stay and we look forward to a return visit,
Thanks Alun.
Brilliant Week Away
By Emma S. on 07-Jan-2017
A beautiful Holiday Cottage in a stunning location, lovely kitchen which had everything we needed and all the appliances were very high quality. Alun responded to a query we had promptly. The log burner in the lounge kept us cosy! We also found the cupboard under the stairs great for drying walking boots and coats. Looking forward to our next visit!
Elterwater Cottage At Christmas
By Jane L. on 06-Jan-2017
We booked the Holiday Cottage in Elterwater for the Christmas week and we were delighted by the whole experience. The Holiday Cottage is perfect....beautifully equipped and very cosy and comfortable. It's location means that there are plenty of beautiful walks right from the door and the village was so quiet and peaceful at that time of year.
The Holiday Cottage had a very homely feel and we would love to return in the future.
Perfect Cottage In Beautiful Setting
By Fiona R. on 20-Dec-2016
Our second visit as we loved it the first time. Great walks straight from the door, friendly pubs with good food in walking distance . Alun came straight round to sort minor problem.
Elterwater Cottage
By Alan G. on 02-Oct-2016
Great quality of accommodation with everything you need and in a good location. Unfortunately the weather was so poor we left early. This was nothing to do with the accommodation which was of very good quality. Minor issue: there was no sign on the Holiday Cottage to tell us it was the right one. Had to go to the pub down the road to find out. Can I suggest a name plate.
Beautiful Cottage
By Shaun S. on 16-Aug-2016
Absolutely beautiful Holiday Cottage in a fantastic and stunning location. We found the Holiday Cottage very clean and well maintained, the decor was lovely with very modern facilities. It was so lovely to come back to at the end of a very busy day, Our family didn't want our stay to end. Alun Knott provided excellent customer service and always answered any queries very promptly prior to our stay. The Holiday Cottage located in beautiful Elterwater, with the Britannia Pub just a walk up the road was a lovely, traditional country pub where they served beautiful food. Great location for walks, cycling etc. Would recommend a climb up 'Old Man Coniston', with fantastic views from the top. Also would recommend Low Wood Bay Watersports for any waters activities. We had a wonderful morning Kayaking etc and Angus and staff were so helpful, knowledgeable and re-assuring. Our family said this was one of our best holidays and can't wait to come back to the Lake District. I would certainly recommend staying at Townfoot Holiday Cottage and hope to return in the near future. Thanks again Alun and Staff.
Lovely Cottage In A Fantastic Location
By Vince H. on 19-Jul-2016
The property has been very tastefully renovated with top notch appliances in the kitchen etc. We were a party of four adults and a Labrador and there was certainly no problem with space, which has been utilised to the maximum. All the utensils, pots and pans etc are more than adequate, however be prepared to bring/buy extra items like more dishwasher tablets, foil and kitchen roll if you plan to make meals at the Holiday Cottage as we did. Also extra loo roll! That said this is a minor point, which does not detract from the fact that we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend. It is a shame there is no garden, but we knew that before we booked. Previous reviews have mentioned that their is no need to leave the area, which is something we can associate with. We bought a book from the local Co-Op, for walks from Elterwater, which is the best £3.50 you could spend!
Excellent Base For A Walking Or Touring Holiday
By Ian & Janette on 27-Jun-2016
A small fronted terraced Holiday Cottage on the edge of Elterwater village provided luxury, well proportioned, accommodation inside. The open plan lounge, diner and high spec kitchen was the perfect environment for us to cook, eat, chill and relax and provided lots of space for us to do our thing. The provision of a good quality 42" TV and DVD player along with the usual Freeview TV channels and high speed internet via Wifi for computer/tablet access kept us occupied in the evening.At the end of the day the king sized beds provided a really good nights sleep.
We found two pubs in the village (Brittania Inn ) and Wainwrights? at Chapel Stile to be right on our doorstep along with a Cafe in the village and a well stocked Co-op store within a quarter of a mile for provisions.
Around 3 miles to Ambleside with Windermere and Bowness beyond this was a perfect touring base for access to the towns, boats on the lake and more. We found plenty of walks from the Holiday Cottage to Little Langdale, Ambleside and Coniston. Local walks to Skelwith Bridge now benefit from additional good quality paths by the riverside being provided by the local authorities and National Trust.All in all a fantastic holiday base!
Great Cottage In A Beautiful Village.
By Glyn P. on 22-Jun-2016
The Holiday Cottage was all Alun the owner had promised, a great dog friendly home from home., it had all mod cons in the kitchen and living room. Bedrooms and bathroom were spacious which was great as we also took our son and his girlfriend.
We ate out every evening at the Brittania pub which was a fantastic dog friendly eatery, just 150yards away.
The village in itself was a great base for walking and seeing the lakes.
Will def. be returning.
Village Position - Great!
By Mary S. on 12-Jun-2016
Excellent cottage. Brilliant facilities. Stunning location. Fabulous walks nearby. An enjoyable stay!
The Perfect Base To Enjoy The Lake District
By Claire G. on 27-May-2016
Townfoot Holiday Cottage in Elterwater was the perfect base to enjoy the Lake District whether going high on the fells or just enjoying the valleys and villages. We found it to be a very clean well presented holiday cottage, comfortable - especially the beds which can let some places down! We didn't have to travel far to find great pubs, the Britannia Inn and Wainwright's within walking distance. Fantastic cafes, Chester's at Skelwith Bridge in particular and everywhere dog friendly always a bonus when the weather in England can be unpredictable. Handy walks straight from the Holiday Cottage door to exercise the dogs and great outlook on to the glorious Lakeland fells. Already planning our next trip!
Beautiful Cottage, Great Location
By Philip S. on 06-May-2016
We had a lovely stay in Elterwater. The Holiday Cottage is beautiful and its location is perfect, there are lots of local ambles, as well as mountains to climb. 10 minute drive from Ambleside. The Holiday Cottage itself brilliantly equipped with brand new cooker, and log fire. Downstairs was a little cold in the morning until we contacted the owner who quickly rectified it remotely. We would definitely stay again if we were to return to the area.
Elterwater - Lakeland's Best Kept Secret
By Kim R. on 22-Mar-2016
Well equipped Holiday Cottage in a great location. Lovely local Inn, great hotel restaurant and little cafe in the village plus another great Inn and fantastic store half a mile up the river path in Chapel Style. Surrounded by beautiful scenery and walking to suit all abilities straight from the door. We didn't need to move the car all week. Great holiday.

Lovely Cottage. Lovely Location
By Jamie W. on 19-Jan-2016
We loved it! All mod cons in the cottage. Very cosy with the log burner roaring away with a good view of the snowy hills outside. Elterwater is a good starting point for many a walk. Try Wainwright's pub for good food and drink.
