The Britannia is the quintessential English Lake District Inn. Nestled in the centre of the picturesque village of Elterwater amidst the imposing mountains of the Langdale Valley, The Britannia offers a sanctuary away from hectic daily life with real ales and foods to satisfy all tastes.
Set in the very heart of the Lake District, with Wordsworth's Grasmere ten minutes over the hill, Ambleside and Lake Windermere only three miles away and Hawkshead and Coniston just a short distance further. In every direction from our front door, there are glorious walks and mountain bike trails. Find out more about the Britannia Inn
