1692 Wasdale

A perfect stay! Amazing comfy, cosy and massive bed which gave a perfect night sleep ahead of us climbing Scafell Pike which was really easy to get to. Super clean, loved the modern touches but also the traditional parts which remained from the barn. Breakfast was amazing and loved that it catered to vegetarian and non-dairy options without having to ask for this. We loved watching the alpacas from our bedroom. The freshly made cakes each day were such a treat and tasted beautiful. Only 10 mins drive from the beach, and some lovely restaurants like The Wild Olive. Can’t think of any faults!

Amazing stay in a beautiful hotel. Would highly recommend. The attention to detail was outstanding. The bed was very comfy and the free cake was delicious.

Location location location.

Wonderful property with gorgeous surrounding areas. Only issue we had was the bed was slightly too hard. options for a softer bed would make this place Perfect!

The whole experience was brilliant, from the welcome we got and great local tips, to the accommodation and breakfast. It was such a peaceful place to stay and we would highly recommend it. In particular, the staff were friendly and super helpful.

Beautiful room and property

A fantastic location for exploring Wasdale. Accommodation surpassed expectations and cannot wait to return and spend more time enjoying the facilities.

I loved my one night stay - truly relaxing - in one of the rooms with bath/shower & loo on a mezzanine above the bed. ~20 minutes awayfrom Scafell and 35 minutes away from the Hardknott Pass, it's location is in dramatic countryside. The bedroom is modern, clean and of a good size. The bed was very comfortable with great linen and pillows. Faith and the team were very welcoming even when I turned up too early. There are a couple of wooden benches in front of the buildings and a hot tub behind. If a couple of benches could be placed beyond the hot tub, you would be able to crash out and have stunning views. Breakfast, cooked to order, is really good quality as is the wide range of other foods available for breaky. All excellent really, so thank you for preparing me to ride over the Hardknott Pass.

Fantastic stay! Very clean everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. Would definitely be returning.

We stayed in the large suite it was very clean very comfortable! bathroom was heaven bath tub and shower Had a communal hot tub fits upto 6 Llamas an sheep at property Owner was very helpful and informative Breakfast was delicious had something for everyone

Quiet location, with beautiful facilities (we stayed in the Tarn room), tasty breakfast and fantastic service!

Perfect, we couldn’t fault the lovely owner and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, nor could we fault the beautiful rooms and breakfast choice with lovely little extras and excellent standards of cleanliness throughout. We’ll definitely be returning.

Lovey bed and breakfast in a beautiful part of the lakedistrict

The best B&B in the Lakes! We stayed for two nights in Dec 2024 and could not fault this place & will definitely be returning. It is finished to a high standard throughout, very comfortable and the staff are brilliant. It’s a great base for exploring the Lakes, either hiking, cycling, running etc and there is a boot room to dry wet clothes etc. The breakfast is delicious with a great selection including a hot fresh cooked to order option. There is an honesty bar which is well stocked and delicious cake is also available mid afternoon. It is very easy to access great local restaurants/ pubs in Gosforth e.g The Olive Tree. The staff we met were all incredibly friendly, helpful & polite. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Our experience was amazing. The room was so cosy, clean and warm. A beautiful bath with gorgeous toiletries supplied. The owner and son were so friendly and helpful. They have a dry room which was great for our hiking gear. The breakfast was the best breakfast I've ever had at any hotel, b&b or guest houses. Will definitely be back again.

Amazing really enjoyed our stay, fantastic place. Highly recommended!

Do you have a really wealthy friend with a sumptuous guest suite? Staying here is like visiting that friend. Every detail is meticulously curated, including robes, towels and flip flops that are delivered if you book the hot tub, homemade shortbread, color coordinated chocolates on your pillow, chef made breakfast, a focus on locally made amenities (bedding, toiletries, beers, jams, and other breakfast items), homemade cake every afternoon, combination lock door handles, multiple lighting options from ambient to task, soaking tub, rainfall shower and handheld wand. The inn itself is the quintessentially perfect combination of good planning, old bones and contemporary style. It is a refurbished barn from 1692 that has retained its stone walls, but been fitted with underfloor heating and kitted with high end plush furnishings and decorated with an eye for distinction. Set on a farm, it's a 5 min drive into Gosforth, 15 minutes to the Wast Water (or less if you don't hit traffic on the single track road),30 minutes to the ocean for beaches and seaside towns, and in the midst of all the wild beauty, ancient history and outdoor adventure available in the western Lake District. You won't find over crowded tourist towns here. You'll need a car, to get round, but you'll be staying in the lap of luxury whilst immersed in the wilder side of the District. Every suite is distinct, lovely and comfortable, but we are fond of Cairns. Video coming on Well Travelled Life YouTube channel.

Stayed for one night on route back to London having just completed the NC500. Incredibly relaxing; the perfect tonic following the tour of Scotland.

Really lovely place. Faith was a wonderful host and the breakfast was just delicious. Bed was so comfy... Definitely will return. Thank you.
