Home & location

Our home is in the Lake District National Park - a very rural area about 4 miles from the nearest village. Please note that it is not in Wasdale Head but close by. It is a characterful and beautiful location at any time of the year and recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage location. It isn't just a great place in the summer - it is a fabulous place all year round. Our house has three bedrooms, a nice lounge with wood stove and underfloor heating. There is reliable broadband and satellite tv. All the usual amenities are also present: washing machine, dishwasher, tumble dryer etc. We also have a bootroom which is great to dry things out after a muddy walk. There are neighbours close by who are very helpful. There is a lovely garden with views of the fells. You'll meet other dog walkers that will know our dog so, for a while, you will be able to join this community! There is a great pub just a 5 min walk away and a 15-minute drive brings you to the base of some of the most well-known and historic mountains in the UK - Scafell Pike, Scafell, Pillar, Great Gable and Great End. You can also access the beaches on the coast in about 20 minutes. Drigg beach for example is usually empty and at low tide has a huge expanse of sand and rock.
