Summary: Loved this Cottage! It's in the perfect location for hikes and just so tranquil. 4 if us stayed and we all loved it. The kitchen is well equipped too. We knew on this trip we would be cooking at home as we were expecting to be in the heart of Wasdale with not many shops around. We did go to the farm shop to get extra eggs because we ran out. Wasdale waters/Scafell Pike not too far. We even did Middle Fell which the trail starts right next to the cottage and gives you a great view of Scafell pike at the top. I would also like to mention that on the day we left the host sent us an email letting us know about road closures due to flooding as it was raining. Giving us an alternative route back home. Not sure we would have gotten home without it, probably would have ended up stuck or arrived super late. Very greatful for it. Thanks and we definitely want to come back!
