The Britannia Inn

Enjoyed our room and the breakfasts were excellent. One complaint ...as we had our dog with us we weren't allowed in the dining room and we had to eat in the bar. As residents we expected we could reserve a table for dinner in the bar area which is tiny with only 4 tables, but no. We had to competes with day visitors who took all the tables so we had to wait and wait and hope for a table to come free before food service stopped. That's just not on.

Very friendly and Natasha and the chef were particularly helpful, thank you both . The food was lovely and in generous portions . The meat was fantastic. The scenery was beautiful and the sheep would just walk past us without fear , it was wonderful. Will definitely be going again . Thankyou to all the staff at Britannia Inn for looking after us so well. X

Dinner 8:15 PM Thursday. Arrived late/impromptu (like most pubs in the area they do not take table bookings). Good service. Told that the kitchen shuts at 8:30. Quickly ordered. They adapted the menu for my vegetarian son, and our food arrived quickly. Roast salmon, selection of vegetables and new potatoes. Deep fried halloumi with salad. Freshly cooked and extremely good quality. Highly recommend. Better than the Wainwrights' Inn in neighbouring Chapel Stile, where we were served a cold lamb burger earlier in the week… obviously meaning that they reheat meals in a microwave.

We stayed in Elterwater for a week and this was a great pub to have on our doorstep. Great selection of cask ales, log fires, and certain rooms dog friendly. We stopped here for a post walk beer a few times and ate one evening. Some excellent specials - I had a particularly good shoulder of lamb. Gets very busy in evenings - deservedly so

A fantastic pub in a great location. Lovely beer, including their own and a great food menu that is reasonably priced. A must visit if you're in the area and like a good, proper pub.

A warm and cosy place with multiple seating areas. Great staff, hardworking and very friendly. We paid £70 for a nice and tidy room with a renovated bathroom. Breakfast was included, you could choose whatever you want. We had a tasteful full english breakfast with jus and coffee and tea. A great inn! One to remember.

Lovely place, been here twice now after walks in Langdale, and both times have been great.Lots of period features, dark wood, beams and fire places throughout. There is an outdoor seating area to the front, with great views across Langdale.We stopped in this time on a Sunday lunchtime in August for a sandwich and a pint, after a pleasant walk along the river, before starting our journey home after attending a family wedding the day before.Both the food and the local beer were excellent once again.Although we were here in peak season, it was not too busy - the weather had been very wet the day before and had started off the same that morning, which I think had put people off going for a walk!Last time we were here was off-season, but the weather was good and the pub was very busy - I think we got the last table right by the door.Will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Our first visit and stay was absolutely perfect. Our room was lovely, really clean, comfortable and a great bathroom. We had beautiful Autumn weather which made our walks around Elterwater and the Langdales, wonderful. So pretty. The food and Ales were all top notch. 5* Breakfast We will be back.
