1692 Wasdale

Wife stayed as a mid week break . Absolutely loved this hotel . Amazing owners and everything was spotless. Amazing views, brilliant room and a beautiful breakfast that was cooked fresh to order. Also a great continental selection. She was so impressed, she wants to book again for the both of us to go .

We recently stayed at 1692 Wasdale for the second time. Everything is absolutely perfect, attention to detail & very quality furnishings & products that you'd be hard-pressed to beat anywhere else. Faith & her team are very friendly and helpful.

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.

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

Our family visited the area to take part in a race, so we were in and out at unsociable hours. Everything was catered for including early breakfast and we found the experience and hospitality totally relaxing and a home from home. I would absolutely stay here again when next in the area.

We stayed at 1692 during a weekend trip climbing Scafell Pike. When we arrived the location was stunning, and so quiet! We were shown to our rooms by the lovely Faith who was very friendly, knowledgable and warm. Our room was stunning and had the comfiest bed we’ve ever stayed in- perfect for post Scafell napping! Every aspect of our stay was perfect, from the small features of our room that made the stay special to the friendly staff and gorgeous food. We’ll definitely be coming back to stay again.
