1692 Wasdale

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.

Absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful family run B&B. The setting is pure tranquility and we loved every moment. Our room was spotless, had all the amenities you could need ( loved the local shampoo etc) and opened onto a lovely little patio. Opposite were the lovely alpacas which I really enjoyed watching wander around their field. Breakfast was superb, filling and the continental selection was excellent (loved the rainbow of fruit and homemade muesli). Even had complimentary afternoon cake which we enjoyed in the comfortable lounge. Great position in the west of the Lake District just a few minutes drive from Wasdale Head and Scafell Pike. A really peaceful area to explore and just wish we’d had more time. Will definitely return.

We had the perfect stay at 1692 Wasdale, couldn’t recommend enough! One of the best places we’ve stayed at! The room was so lovely, it had everything we needed and more, was so nice to enter upon homemade biscuits and chocolates 😋. We were in the Herdwick Suite (top floor) and had lovely views! Loved the alpacas 🦙, so cute 🥰! The honesty bar was great, it was nice to be able to get a drink whenever we fancied and lots of choice too! We went in the hot tub for the two nights and wow, the views of the mountains ⛰️ are stunning, even the pond behind and watching the sunset 😍🌅. We also loved getting some of the cake that was free for us, it was delicious and was lovely to have whenever we felt like, we had ours with a lovely cuppa 🍰☕️ , we even turned down dessert at the restaurants so we could have the cake 😂😋. Breakfast was the best we’ve ever had, I loved the fresh bread, fruit and the full English was amazing! 😍. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay so enjoyable, we felt so welcomed and at home. We would love to return in future when we come back to the Lakes. Thanks again! Georgina & Tom

Excellent accomodation to a high standard. No stone left unturned. Wonderful breakfast. Afternoon cake left in the dining room. Faith and her team very knowledgeable and helpful. Would not hesitate in recommending this as a place to stay

An Amazing Stay at 1692 Wasdale! Our stay at 1692 Wasdale was truly exceptional. The room was immaculate—spotlessly clean, beautifully presented and filled with thoughtful little touches like cotton wool, face wash etc. Breakfast each morning was a real highlight, with a wide variety on offer: everything from yoghurts and fresh fruit to delicious, freshly cooked options. One standout feature was the shower—it was genuinely one of the best I’ve ever experienced! Although the coffee machine in our room wasn’t working, Faith was fantastic—she promptly checked the machine and then kindly made us a fresh coffee elsewhere, which was much appreciated. Highly recommended for a peaceful, high-quality getaway in the Lakes!

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.
