Eltermere Hotel

The Eltermere Hotel, originally known as Eltermere, is a building with a complex history, dating back to the late 16th century. A further section was added in the 17th century, an east wing was constructed around 1700, and the front facade was updated around 1756. The building is constructed of stone rubble with rough slate quoins, a slate roof, and slate-hung gable ends.

The lakeside facade features a central moulded doorway topped with a cornice supported by scroll brackets, approached by a double flight of stone steps with an iron railing and two Tuscan columns that support a gabled oriel. The oriel has a sash window on each of its three sides. Flanking the doorway are three-light sash windows on both floors, with wooden mullions and panelled wooden frames, the ground floor windows having moulded cornices. Semi-circular lunette windows are set into the gable ends, illuminating the cellars below. The rear wing, which is older, has five 12- and 16-paned sash windows on the upper floor, and two modern doors.

The interior is reported to contain an early 17th-century cupboard dated 1685, early 18th-century panelling, and a staircase with flat balusters. The building forms part of a group, as noted in the general description for Elterwater.
