Boasting wonderful accommodation with en-suite bathrooms, stylish interior and much to do close by, this property is perfectly suited to both friends and families seeking a getaway in the idyllic Lakes.
Upon entrance be drawn in by the heart-warming sitting room; with snug seating, a Smart TV and complete with woodburning stove it provides a haven to curl up with loved ones and watch a family favourite after a day of adventures.
Next, explore the well-equipped kitchen/diner where the designated chef of the group can whip up a hearty meal to be enjoyed around the dining table whilst reflecting on highlights of your trip so far; alternatively, choose from two pleasant outdoor seating areas to enjoy alfresco dining or a late-night tipple.
Three charmingly decorated bedrooms await upstairs, each with their own Smart TV, en-suite facilities, and furnished to a high-standard, they offer a flexible and secluded area to get lost in a book, enjoy alone time, or relish a movie night ahead of another busy day.
Bask in the stunning countryside views from the comfort of your own freestanding bath or freshen up in a sleek shower room before heading to the local pub on nights when you don’t feel like cooking.
From your doorstep, uncover an abundance of tea rooms, boutique stores, pubs, bars, and restaurants that all await in the local town; or for a visit packed with excitement, take a trip to Bowness-on-Windermere where everything from golf and horse riding to water skiing and sailing caters for a group of all ages.
The fine 15th-century church of St.Martin’s is also located here, for those who wish to immerse themselves in the rich history of the town, as well as The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction which is dedicated to the life of the much-loved children’s author.
Further afield you will find Ambleside, often branded as a walker’s paradise, there are plenty of routes which begin from near the Waterhead Pier which showcase stunning views of the rolling hills and cascading landscapes.
Rydal Mount and Gardens, the home of William Wordsworth is steeped in local heritage and literature, and great for quality outdoor time.

What guests are saying
A wonderful property ideal for three couples.
Warm, great kitchen and an excellent location.
Eller Close House is a beautiful, high spec house that felt like a home from home with fantastic views that can be seen from the living room, 2 of the bedrooms and one of the bathrooms.
The listing and photos are accurate but the living room pictures undersell the room which was beautifully done and very cosy. We stayed as a family of 4 with 2 young teenagers. It had everything we needed and the baths were appreciated at the end of a long day of walking! Its location is great for walkers with a huge choice of great walks on the door step. It is also 5 minutes walk from The Swan, 12 minutes from the centre of Grasmere, 10 minutes from The Travellers Rest and 20 minutes from The Yan. We ate out every night and didn’t need to move the car. The property is not suitable for people with mobility issues due to the steep paths from the shared parking area to the house. I would also have been very nervous with small children due to the stream ( fenced) that runs through the grounds - beautiful for us! We will definitely be back! …….Note for the owners- There is a boiling water tap in the kitchen which pretends to be just the hot tap which gave me a shock, it spent the rest of the week with an egg cup over it to remind us of the danger. A small notice would remove the risk of scalding. The weather turned the week we arrived so we could not make use of the garden but it is worth noting that you can’t see the view sat at the garden table as the hedge is just a little too high, if it was my property I would take a foot off it! We enjoyed the view from the small patio with a cuppa instead. Finally, when we arrived there was a sewage smell coming from the bath in the second bathroom. We ran the water and it disappeared straight away and didn’t return . We suspect the bath had not been used for a few weeks so it’s worth the cleaners doing that each time.
Pro's: The property has high quality fixtures and furnishings and is in a nice setting, although the main road nearby can be quite noisy.
Cons: some of the kitchen utensils are of surprisingly cheap quality and all the knives are blunt, which for someone who likes to cook was a disappointment. The kitchen boiling water tap should have a sign near it warning of very hot water. On first use I burned my hand. It should probably be noted on the description of the two sets of steep steps to access the property and the fact that you can't park near the entrance as it was quite a slog getting all our suitcases up and down.
