Occupying a spot in Wasdale, Cumbria, this charming cottage serves as an ideal retreat for families or groups of friends seeking to immerse themselves in the breathtaking landscape of the Lake District National Park. Nestled on a working farm, the property is surrounded by iconic peaks such as Great Gable, Yewbarrow, and Kirk Fell, offering countless opportunities for adventure. For those who crave a challenge, the renowned Scafell Pike is a mere 0.5 miles away, while Wastwater, one of England's deepest lakes, invites leisurely strolls, picnics, and the exhilarating experience of wild swimming along its shores.
Guests can take advantage of nearby outdoor activities at an activity centre that provides climbing, kayaking, and canoeing experiences. However, for those who prefer a more relaxed pace, the stunning views can be savored with a simple cup of coffee. The cottage itself features a welcoming dining room perfect for shared meals and board games, accommodating six people comfortably. The modern kitchen is well-equipped with essential appliances, while a convenient downstairs WC adds to the practicality of the space.
The cozy lounge, complete with an open fire, invites guests to unwind on the comfortable sofas and armchairs, perhaps enjoying a bottle of wine while watching a movie on the TV/DVD. Upstairs, the sleeping arrangements consist of two double bedrooms designed in a tempting country cottage style and a quirky triple bedroom with three single beds, accommodating a total of six guests despite having seven sleeping spaces. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath ensures convenience for all guests, while the absence of Wi-Fi encourages a refreshing digital detox.
Outside, the cottage boasts a delightful garden adorned with mature shrubbery and stunning views of Great Gable from the patio, complemented by garden furniture for al fresco dining. Ample off-road parking is available in the farmyard at the back of the property. For those evenings when cooking isn’t on the agenda, three nearby pubs, located within half a mile, offer a variety of delicious local dishes and ales, ensuring a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure during your stay.
