Nether Wasdale is a wonderfully unspoilt valley whose marvellous scenery is ideal for walkers, cyclists and swimmers.

Make a leisurely 7-mile journey through beautiful scenery to the coast on the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway, and stretch your legs along Drigg Beach, 7.5 miles away and perfect for picnics and a dip in the sea. History enthusiasts will love Muncaster Castle, 9 miles away, and with five pubs in the valley offering excellent home-cooked food with an emphasis on local produce, after a busy day, you can indulge in a hearty meal and pint of ale. For daily provisions, there is a well-stocked village store 3 miles away in the village of Gosforth.

Enter into the hall and store your coats and boots before heading through to the open-plan living and dining room. Bright and spacious, large windows give excellent views over the garden towards Wasdale screes. Large leather sofas are the perfect place to unwind after a busy day and watch the Sky TV. On clear nights, enjoy some stargazing with the telescope provided. The wooden dining table is the ideal spot for a hearty breakfast and to share a delicious dinner in the evenings. The kitchen is equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, under-the-counter fridge with a small freezer compartment, dishwasher and plenty of storage space. There is a full-size fridge/freezer in a small pantry, and the washing machine and tumble dryer are tucked away under the stairs which lead to the lower ground floor.

Outside, the extensive gardens have several sections to them, providing a varied and exciting outdoor space. The garden furniture allows for al fresco dining morning, noon and night whilst the lower lawn is a great place to play football, and little ones will love the secret bamboo garden.

We absolutely loved our stay at this cottage. The views were out of this world. We were 4 adults and 3 children and there was ample space in the cottage, with a lovely big kitchen and living area and the games room was a hit with the kids. The garden was massive and the kids loved playing football and using the hammock. The hot tub was fab Read moretoo and the views from there were amazing. There were three great showers, two were downstairs but that didn't matter too much. The owner checked in with us by phone on arrival to make sure everything was ok which was nice. We really had the best time and is up there with one of the best cottages we've ever stayed in (and we've stayed in a fair few). Would highly recommend. Hide

Fantastic property, is a little dated and worn but is still good value for money. A lick of paint can make a nice first impression on a property.

We celebrated our Golden Wedding anniversary here with our children and families, so six adults, 3 children and 1 dog - we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The games etc for the kids and the hot tub for the grownups were ideal. The cottage is very spacious, well equipped, beautifully appointed and superbly located. The excellent Strand Inn is a very shorRead moret walk away plus the lovely Sawmill Cafe. There also a lovely walk to the quieter end of Wastwater that avoids the road. Highly recommended. Hide

It was a lovely cottage out in Nether Wasdale, spectacular views of the sunrise and sunset over Scafell Pike. Isolated but with plenty near by to do if you drive or hike. It has such a homely feeling and the owners were lovely and informative. I found the beds a bit firm but I have a bad back, should of brought a mattress topper. The Strands Inn isRead more a lovely pub to eat at as well, just down the road. I'd 100% stay there again and If I ever could buy it I would!!! Thank you for a lovely stay! Hide

Really needed to recharge my human batteries and unplug and unwhind. Staying at High Holme gave me this opportunity! It's a home from home with all the mod cons.
