    “We stayed at the cottage for the weekend as we were in the valley to celebrate a friends 60th Birthday.”

    Wow what a find, a stunning cottage, immaculate throughout and very well laid out. We were greeted by the owner David, who was very welcoming and showed us to the cottage. Some lovely touches, from a very well stocked welcome basket to even a pint of milk in the fridge. A great drying room is available opposite the cottage, with the benefit of a washing machine and upright freezers for your use.

    Wow what a find, a stunning cottage, immaculate throughout and very well laid out. We were greeted by the owner David, who was very welcoming and showed us to the cottage. Some lovely touches, from a very well stocked welcome basket to even a pint of milk in the fridge. A great drying room is available opposite the cottage, with the benefit of a washing machine and upright freezers for your use. Location wise it is excellent, with a large number of walks from the cottage, for all ages, from a lakeside walk to the higher fells. On the day of departure, Sally-Anne greeted us to make sure we had a lovely time, what lovely hosts. Cannot recommend this cottage enough.

About the location

NETHER WASDALE

Gosforth 3.9 miles; Santon Bridge 2.3 miles

Nether Wasdale is a small village situated to the west of Wastwater, the deepest lake in Great Britain. The village is well-served with two pubs, one with its own brewery, a farm shop and café selling local produce and ice cream. This area is the birthplace of climbing and is a superb base for climbing, hiking and all outdoor pursuits. Unlike many lakes, motorised boats are forbidden on Wastwater though canoeing and kayaking are perfect for these unspoilt and tranquil waters which add to the peace and serenity of this stunning part of the Lake District National Park. Wastwater is sided by The Screes and at the head of the lake the fells of Great Gable and Scafell Pike can be reached, popular with hikers and climbers alike. The view from the summit of Great Gable is said to be the finest view in Britain. At Wasdale Head is the church of St. Olaf, one of the smallest churches in England, dating back to 1550 and its beams are said to have come from Viking long boats. Close by are the villages of Santon Bridge and Gosforth.
