1692 Wasdale

We have stayed at Wasdale 1692 many times - and each time it exceeds our expectations. The rooms are beautiful and stylish, the location is second to none and the breakfasts are a joy. Faith and her team are attentive and highly professional.

My Wife stayed here last year and we were both very impressed by the quality of the room and the service received. Faith and her team excel at making you feel immediately right at home, where nothing is too much trouble. Location is perfect for exploring this part of the Lakes. Highly recommended!!

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.

A breathtaking location, with stylish and well-appointed rooms. Whilst the views of Wasdale may be best enjoyed from either the hot tub or the garden, the whole experience is well thought out and the details carefully planned. The generous sized rooms, large communal lounge and dining room are all furnished with care and a careful eye for detail. The variety of cooked breakfast options were expertly prepared and the cold buffet was beautifully presented. The little touches in rooms including the range of coffees and teas or cakes on arrival and the wide variety of drinks available in the bar all gave the stay an extra air of luxury. Faith and her team do their utmost to provide a relaxing stay with the care of experienced professionals and a willingness to go the extra mile. If you are looking for a luxurious, quiet and stylish place to stay with excellent food and high-quality accommodation then this is hard to beat.

We absolutely loved this gorgeous B&B! Every last detail is thought of, from quality toiletries in the bathroom to a lush cake to tempt you in the dining area, plus a superbly stocked honesty bar (very reasonably priced) and a huge, cooked-to-order breakfast, plus delicious freshly made bread for toast. The decor is amazing too, with exposed stone walls and beams for a true Lakeland aesthetic, and a very comfy guest lounge with stacks of books, magazines and even a piano and ukelele for the musically minded. There's also a hot tub if you remember to pack your swimmers (sadly, we forgot!). The owners and their lovely staff make you feel so very welcome that it really does feel like a (very luxurious) home from home. Couple all this with stunning views to the west of the Irish Sea and the Isle of Man, and to the east of the Scafell massif, with four very cute and curious alpacas in a field opposite the accommodation, and you've got the perfect Western Lakes retreat. This is a real find and I'm sure we'll be back - especially with the access it provides to so many wonderful locations to explore.
