Brace yourself as you enter the magnificent 45ft living area of this character 4 bedroom Lake District cottage perfect for families and groups of friends!
A remarkable restoration has resulted in this four bedroom cottage retaining fantastic, exposed, pink granite feature stonework throughout. Downstairs vaunts an enormous 45ft living and dining area with exposed beams and baby grand piano beneath its full height ceiling. During the original renovations, we had to bring in additional beams to the kitchen and dining areas, simply so that the weight of the heavy slate roof tiles could be supported. You will now see these criss-crossed above you! Upstairs, where the workers used to live, hundreds of years ago, exhibits an ancient chimney and its recess. With a brand new kitchen installed in early 2018 and two ground floor double bedrooms, one downstairs family bathroom and one ensuite shower room, this cottage is ideal for those guests who may require or prefer ground floor facilities.

When it comes to bedrooms and bathrooms, Wastwater Cottage most certainly has something to suit every individual! The upstairs snug has a single captains bed with pull out single mattress also underneath and full size cot. This bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with bath. A second bedroom with twin beds lies across the landing and under the oak beam! Downstairs Wastwater has two double bedrooms with kingsize beds, which may suit the elderly or those with limited mobility. One of these bedrooms has a brand new ensuite wet room, which we added only a few months ago. There is also a main family shower room downstairs, so you won’t be queuing!
This cottage is named after Wastwater, England’s deepest lake. At its deepest point, it delves down 260ft, nearly 80m! Wastwater Lake lies in the neighbouring valley to Eskdale, Wasdale, which is a pleasant 5 mile walk over Esk Fell to our cottages near Wastwater Lake. You will pass via our peat hut, the Neolithic and Bronze Age stone circles and the beautiful Burnmoor tarn, without having to endure a huge amount of climbing – we highly recommend this walk!
