Peter
The location of Stable End cottage is perfect for many of the short and longer walking routes to be enjoyed in this dramatic valley. The sun rise and sun set vistas from the nearby shoreline of Wast Water are not to be missed. The cottage is very cosy and warm even without lighting the wood burner. There is also ample car parking space. Sally- Anne and David are wonderful hosts and are always on hand to resolve any issues without any fuss.
