Wasdale Head Hall Farm Cottage

Situated on the shores of Wastwater Lake, Wasdale Head Hall Farm is a working farm at the top of the Wasdale Valley. The cottage is a converted barn with stone flagged floors offering comfortable accommodation for 2-5 people.

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).

There are hundreds of walks right from the door of the cottage and you are more than welcome to bring your dog with you. Footpaths lead from the farm up Scafell and beyond. There are three pubs in the valley - the Wasdale Head Inn is your closest at a mile and a half away; the Screes & the Strands face each other in Nether Wasdale. In Gosforth village (6 miles) you will find everyday provisions.

Eskdale is another lovely valley, only 15 minutes drive away, with hundreds of river and mountain walks. It also houses a terminus for the Ravenglass and Eskdale Steam Railway - a popular miniature railway that travels seven scenic miles to the coastal fishing village of Ravenglass. Muncaster Castle, Gardens and Owl Centre is also 15 minutes away and has lots going on all year round, especially for children
