Overall Ratings & Reviews The Britannia Inn

Friendly caring staff. Great food and service. Comfortable bedrooms with great attention to detail. 100’s of walks straight from the front door, something to suit all abilities.

Fantastic lovely pub great service excellent food very comfortable stay great hosts

Great stay in lovely location and staff and food fantastic

We stayed here on a long weekend with the family and dogs - everything we could have asked for - good location with the Langdales just up the road (easy parking, pay and display), does packed lunches which were superb, very good evening food, good bar and lovely staff who were attentive, very friendly and helpful. Bus stop opposite to Ambleside and also up to the Langadales for those with no car

Was a lovely stay beakfast was a mighty feast All staff were helpful and friendly was spotless

Two night stay with my daughter. Beautiful property and excellent food. In stunning surroundings. Loved the hotel. The only thing I would mention is because I booked through hotels .com and not the Inn I wasn’t aware that you have full use of the spa facilities at the Langdale. Had I booked directly with the Inn I would have known. Fortunately though my daughter has a swim suit with her even if I didn’t

Excellent stay at a great pub. Really friendly staff, great food and a good range of local beers. Highly recommended and we will return.

Location was really great, perfect walk to elter water and grasmere.

Always wanted to stay here. We had a great 2 nights, walks to Skelwith Force and Dungeon Ghyll within easy reach. The Langdales is a lovely place.

A beautiful country inn located at the heart of the South lakes. The rooms are compact but well appointed and comfortable. The food (especially the breakfast) ‘hits the spot’ and the staff are brilliant. The spectacular Langdales are all around with no need to use the car - so just park up and enjoy.

Fab birthday weekend getaway! Lovely pub, great food fantastic staff, couldn't be better

Very friendly

We really enjoyed our stay we had been years ago They made us welcome straight away Lovely room comfy bed very clean Great breakfast everything lovely and hot and cooked fresh The parking made a big difference Staff lovely definitely go back

Our room, 4, was directly above the bar and an awful din came up through the floor. It was very noisy and kept us awake when we went to bed before the bar closed. Then well after 11pm there was a series loud bangs as doors were slammed downstairs below us - made our room rattle and shake. Not pleasant.

Accommodation was excellent. Staff were friendly, helpful and hardworking. Wonderful stay in lovely warm and welcoming surroundings. Excellent menu and great local beers.

Beautiful area with shorter low level walks around Elterwater as well as longer and higher walks. Loughrigg Tarn is stunning. Ambleside is just 4 miles away but it feels like a world away. Langdale has amazing views from the bottom at Blea Tarn and from the top. The Britannia Inn offers rooms with lots of character and excellent food, usually eaten outside with a view depending on the weather. The staff are helpful, friendly and relaxed. We had a wonderful 3 night escape here. Thoroughly recommended.

Lovely Lakeland pub with restaurant and rooms. Great beer, good food and friendly staff. Also dog friendly and great for walkers and bikers.

The Britannia is an old Lakeland inn, so you can’t expect all the amenities of a modern hotel. However, I would forego a lift (elevator) in favour of such a lovely and evocative place. The hotel is really well run, with excellent staff. The bedrooms have been refurbished with modern en suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, smart TV etc. We ate in the hotel on both nights of our stay and found the food very good. The breakfasts were exceptional, comprising all locally sourced produce. There is a first class selection of local cask beers and a lovely outdoor seating area and garden. The atmosphere is very relaxed, which makes for a fantastic, restful stay. A brilliant few days in Elterwater. Thank you Britannia.

My two walking chums and I each with our own room, couldn’t praise this more highly. Everyone of the staff were friendly and helpful. The beer was great, the food too, and I got more than I bargained for when I asked for the full monty breakfast which as well as black pudding included haggis! Delicious! This set is up nicely for our 7 hour climb. Also whoever does the gardening is a genius. Beautiful flowers, vegetation and hanging baskets. Good value for money too. A massive thank you for a thoroughly enjoyable stay. We left as friends after our 2 day stay. Thank you all at the Britannia. Jeremy, Chris and our American chum, Tony. The Lakes was on his bucket list, now superbly fulfilled.

This is a very old building and the bedroom we had was very small but well equipped with a good shower and comfortable bed. Unfortunately there was noise from the bathrooms of two adjoining rooms when used. The staircase is very narrow and there are extra steps and low doorways. However the staff members are always cheerful and willing to help with luggage. Be aware that this is a very popular pub serving large numbers of people throughout the day and evening.
