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 .

Amazing really enjoyed our stay, fantastic place. Highly recommended!

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.

This is just a fabulous place, met the owners, the chef and staff, all lovely. The location is great, the premises are fitted out with great quality and taste. The breakfast had something for everyone and being freshly cooked to order, they were very tasty. We used this as a base for local walks and just had a brilliant time. No doubt that we will return.

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.
