Overview

Situated in the beautiful Wasdale valley, this holiday cottage provides lovely self-catering accommodation on a traditional working Lakeland hill farm where Herdwick sheep graze alongside a small herd of pedigree dairy goats. Wasdale itself is a valley of extremes. It boasts England's deepest lake (Wastwater), highest mountain (Scafell), smallest church (St Olaf's) and the world’s biggest liar competition (each November, in the Santon Bridge Inn). Wastwater lake is a couple of miles from the farm and there are many good swimming spots on its shores. There are hundreds of walks right from the door of this cottage and you are more than welcome to bring your dog with you. Footpaths lead from the farm up the fellside to Nether Wasdale Common and Scafell beyond. There are three pubs in the valley, the nearest pub is 1.1 miles away.
