Set amongst some of the most magnificent and unspoilt scenery in the Lakes, Wasdale is perfect for walkers, cyclists, swimmers and nature-lovers.

Surrounded by dramatic Lakeland scenery, this fresh and airy apartment is ideally situated for families, couples and their pets exploring the western edges of the Lake District. Providing cosy accommodation for four human and two canine guests, this refreshing, bright and comfortable ground-floor retreat is perfect for discovering the breathtaking countryside around Wasdale and the stunning lake of Wast Water. A relaxing hideaway for walkers, cyclists and nature lovers, this delightful getaway is also within easy reach of the Cumbria coast.

Part of a development of holiday cottages, this bright apartment features a slate-floored hallway that leads into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. With wooden floors and large windows, this spacious room is the heart of the property. The lounge is an ideal spot for you and your pets to unwind in, with comfortable seating, a TV and a selection of games and books. The dining area is perfect for sharing a favourite meal which you can rustle up in the sociable and elegantly designed kitchen. The apartment also has a refreshing shower room and two relaxing bedrooms, each with fantastic views of the fells: there’s a pretty double room with two sash windows and a charming twin room. Outside, the shared garden features a lawn with flowerbeds and stone seating, providing a lovely spot for a morning coffee and admiring the crags of Buckbarrow.

Lovely position and great location for exploring Wasdale, worked well for 2 adults and 1 dog. Thoughtful additions like OS maps, room for wet gear, fully equipped. Would recommend, and return.

Excellent location. Range of mountain walks are very accessible, some from the doorstep. The kitchen is well equipped. We had all that we needed. Nice big TV. It is quite small for 4 people. There is just one fairly small reception room, combining lounge/dining/kitchen. We had issues on arrival, with the storage heaters set on maximum making our fiRead morerst two nights uncomfortably warm, and the shower only supplying water that was too hot to stand under until fixed by plumber.

Lovely little cottage occupying the first floor. If you like rural and quiet this is the place. We stayed 3 nights and wanted to climb Scarfell, it was a 10 minute drive or a lovely, flat 4 mile walk to the starting point of Scarfell, In less than 10 minutes you can walk to a lovely lake shore area of Wastwater.

The location of this cottage/apartment is superb, it is very rural and beautiful. It is a compact cottage but fantastic for 2 people. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked, even down to salt and pepper, tea, coffee and milk sachets. The website said to bring towels but they were already provided along with kitchen clothes Read moreetc. we went a few yards down the road and sat by a brook that was idyllic and a lovely place to view the surrounding mountains.

We had a lovely week at the Screes. The cottage is cosy and well equipped with everything you need for a home away from home (including a very comfy bed). There are plenty of games, books and puzzles for the inevitable rainy days and theres also a TV with Netflix. The wifi is a little slow but you dont go to the Lakes to sit on your phone!

Crockery & glassware all needed re-washing. Cushions on the sofa had pen marks and greasy spots - clearly werent freshly in there for us! Garden needed weeding. No outside seating.

Fantastic location, lots of local waks to explore but you might want to research these before arriving. Cottage a tad on the small side for 2 adults & 2 teenagers more suitable to 3 people. Ensure you have all the essentials as not much nearby to get anything you've forgotten.

Lovely comfortable accommodation in a spectacular area. Perfect base for climbing the local Wainwrights including some straight from the front door plus only a short stroll down to Wastwater. Equipped with everything you need for a quiet & peaceful week but bring your supplies with you to save having to travel out 5+ miles just to get milk :-)
