  • Nestled amongst the rural tranquillity of the breathtaking Wasdale Valley on the western side of the Lake District
  • A range of stunning walks from your doorstep, either up fells or along the valley floor
  • Dramatic and picturesque Wastwater, the deepest lake in England, is only a 10-minute walk away
Property code: OC-SZ326

Prepare to feel humbled by mother nature at this spacious Wasdale Valley property offering dramatic hill views. Two canine companions can come too – with tails wagging for potential adventures! With four bedrooms, this property makes a brilliant base for a larger family or group of extended family and friends to explore the rest of the Lake District National Park. Its remote location also means you can really switch off, enjoy something of a digital detox and make magical memories.

This traditional Lakeland farmhouse is really welcoming, with all the modern creature comforts you and your furry friends need. Because you’re in the Lake District and it probably will rain, bring plenty of towels for mucky pups before entering the comfortable lounge or cosy snug for some serious relaxation. Or leave them to dry off in the tile-floored dining room/conservatory area with its huge picture window. The table here seats four, but there’s another dining table seating eight just off the living room for those big holiday feasts, easily prepared in the sizeable fitted kitchen. Four calming bedrooms upstairs offer gorgeous views and versatile sleeping arrangements. The super king-size bedroom has an en-suite with a bath, while there’s another shower room – both are contemporary and very inviting! Relish unspoilt views by day or stars by night in the rear garden with lawns and furnished patio.

You could spend days just soaking up the views from this cottage but lead the way to adventure with canine chums on wonderful walks from the house itself – with fells, woodland and lakes all on offer. Wonderful Wast Water is within 1 mile, while tracks to Scafell Pike start at just 3 miles, but that might be one outing where Fido has to stay behind in case of injury and livestock on the hills.

 

  • 4 bedrooms – 1 super-king, 1 king, 1 double and 1 twin zip-and-link (can be made up as a double on request).
  •  2 bathrooms - 1 shower room with WC and 1 en-suite bathroom with bath, separate corner shower and WC (accessed through the super-king room)
  • Built-in electric oven with 4 hobs, full-height fridge, separate freezer, dishwasher, washing machine
  • TV and DVD player
  • Wi-Fi included
  • Rear garden with dining furniture. The rear meadows which are accessible for guests, often have sheep grazing so please keep dogs on leads at those times.
  • Off-road parking for 2-3 cars
  • EV charging from the property's mains electricity supply is strictly prohibited
  • Pub 2.5 miles
  • Sleeps 8
  • Nearest supermarket is Co-Op in Seascale (8mls), however most major supermarkets deliver to the property. 
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00
  • 2 dogs allowed. Additional charges may apply

The cottage is in a wonderful location, only a mile from Wast Water lake and with numerous walks directly accessible from the cottage. It was very clean, tidy and spacious with its own car park. It was well equipped with all expected amenities included - a well equipped kitchen, comfortable seating areas, a snug for a bit of peace and quiet, and cRead moreomfortable beds to fall into at the end of a busy day outdoors. We liked it so much we have already booked a week at the cottage for next year. Hide

We had a lovely stay at low Greendale, perfect location for wastwater and surrounding fells. Beds comfortable and the cottage has everything you might need. The location is remote so planning needed for supplies, nearest supermarket is 16 miles away, but this did not impact our time, just requires planning. Definitely use what three words to find iRead moret as we did get lost initially. I would recommend this place and hope to return sometime. "Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your lovely review, were delighted you enjoyed the location, comfort, and access to Wastwater and the fells. Just to clarify for future guests, the nearest supermarket is the Co-op in Seascale, about 8 miles away, and most major supermarkets do deliver to the property." Hide

Superb location for exploring the Wasdale Valley. The place had all the essentials for a self catering holiday. Good walking in the area, right from the door and access to the coast and Whitehaven if the rain is set in.

Just the most well-equipped cottage in an idyllic location. We loved it. We particularly enjoyed the proper coffee machine! We have visited Greendale many times for the mountains and lakes and it was just the perfect cottage to return to. We will definitely book again. Thank you!
