Property Description
Situated in the quiet village of Elterwater, in the heart of the Langdale Valley. Numerous walks stretch from the door in all directions. The village pub 'The Britannia Inn' serves lots of traditional beers and has a good selection of tasty grub if you're too tired to cook and is just a minutes walk from the door. Jontys has comfortable and cozy ground floor accommodation for four.
On entering, the first thing you'll notice is the shiny parquet wooden floor, very practical for muddy footwear and dogs. Next to the front door is plenty of space for coats and shoes in the drying cupboard (not that it's going to rain!!) Along the hallway a king size bedded room and a twin bedded room both with built in wardrobes and dressers, then along to the bathroom with its famous one legged bath (it isn't really - it's just narrower at one end than the other) and separate shower. The kitchen is a good size with cream shaker units and has glass-serving hatch to the dining table in the lounge. At the end of the hallway the lounge/diner goes the width of the building with views looking out across Elterwater Common towards Loughrigg and High Close.
Jontys, named after the owners eldest son is a well-equipped, modern ground floor apartment, built within a traditional slate Lakeland building. Its position in Elterwater offers superb walking opportunities, while its level entrance gives those who are less mobile a good base from which to explore the Lakes.
Now benefiting from free Wifi internet connection.

Reviews
Name: Alison Phillipson - 16-Jul-2010
Comment: Last minute booking for a short stay - What a find!.
Will definitely return to Jontys. Good food at Britannia Inn and at the Talbot at Skelwith Bridge. Walked to grasmere and back with our 6 month old pup Monty, his first visit to the Lakes and certainly won't be the last!
Thanks for a lovely stay. Hope to see you again shortly
Name: Lesley Sinclair - 16/4/10
Comment: Had a brilliant week at Jontys, with superb weather from start to finish. Managed some lovely walks (although one of us always stayed with our ancient dog, who can no longer walk with us).
Jontys is a lovely, comfy cottage and we like it the best out of all the Good Life properties - the great view helps!
Many thanks - be in touch soon about next year
