The living areas are filled with character, boasting rustic features such as exposed beams, latch doors and wooden features to give that real country-cottage feel.

The kitchen area is well-equipped and the dining room features quirky wooden benches to enjoy your meals from. One of the three bedrooms here at Stable End Cottage sits on the ground floor with an immaculate finish to make you feel right at home. Head upstairs to discover the two further bedrooms, sat cosily under the eaves and uplifted by the light-filled Velux windows. The interior is finished off with a bright and airy family bathroom, a soothing place to lie and relax in a bubble bath after a long, tiring day. You can enjoy your morning coffee whilst embracing your wonderful location, take a seat on the front patio area before the fun-packed day begins. The property comes within a short walk of the deepest lake in Britain, Wast Water is a breath-taking area of the Lake District where you can also try your hand at some outdoor pursuits.

Nether Wasdale is a small village situated to the north west of Wastwater, the deepest lake in Great Britain.

  • Susanne

    Absolutely lovely and cozy cottage in the Lake district. Beautiful views and hiking opportunities. We’ll be back for sure.

  • Tim

    This was our second stay in this cottage and we hope to return again at some point.

  • Ros

    The position is perfect, the hosts welcoming and responsive to any requests but not intrusive. There were 5 adults, but we found that the cottage coped with us all even during the rain. Sweep, the cat sought a lap whenever we were sitting outside - Sooty was more aloof! All in all, cannot recommend this enough (my 3rd visit).
