It was the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area including climbing Scafell Pike. The cottage is cosy and clean and well maintained, only downside is that the single bed is very creaky and soft and I think would be more suited to a child than an adult. Also my son didn't really feel comfortable with leaving his car out on the road infront of the property as it is actually quite a busy road heading out to Wasdale head. However this was easily rectified by loading/offloading out front and then parking free of charge in the community car park in the village which was just a short walk away. Gosforth village is a lovely, quiet village with good local amenities and we did sample food delivered from the lion and the lamb pub which was very nice. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Wainwright cottage and would highly recommend.

The cottage was immaculately clean, witrh all the main appliances easy to use i.e. central heating system, cooker and shower. The cottage is of a very high specification throughout and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend the cottage to other visitors to the Lake Didtrict. We would definately book again when visiting the Western Lakes.
