Nestled at the gateway to the picturesque Wasdale Valley in the Western Lake District, 1692 Wasdale is a family-run boutique bed and breakfast offering a harmonious blend of contemporary luxury and rustic charm. This elevated retreat provides guests with panoramic views stretching into the valley and across the sea to the Isle of Man.

The property boasts six individually designed en-suite super-king bedrooms, each thoughtfully curated to provide comfort and style. Rooms feature high ceilings, exposed stonework, and modern amenities such as underfloor heating, ensuring a cosy atmosphere year-round. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the spaces with natural light and offer breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscapes. For those traveling with canine companions, three of the rooms are dog-friendly, complete with direct access to outdoor patios. One of the reasons 1692 Wasdale is so special is the attention to detail and little touches included in your stay; from fresh cake in the afternoon, to home-made biscuits in your room, you’re sure to feel right at home from the moment you arrive.

Guests can start their day with a hearty breakfast in the inviting dining area, savoring locally sourced produce while planning their days adventures. The communal lounge, equipped with a contemporary open fire and a well-stocked honesty bar, provides a perfect setting for relaxation after a day of exploration. For an added touch of indulgence, the outdoor hot tub offers a unique vantage point to soak in the mountain views and, as night falls, the starlit skies.
