About this property

The Barn is a charming, detached, barn conversion resting in the rural location of Nether Wasdale, Cumbria. With a backdrop of mature trees, stone-built exterior, and well-thought-out décor, this delightful abode is ideal for a family or couple looking for a Cumbrian getaway. Park off-road and be greeted by the characterful exterior of this property, before unpacking into this reverse-level property. Discover the living space on the first floor, open-plan and with an abundance of fantastic amenities to cater to your holiday needs. Cook up a storm in the kitchen, before dining at the table and enjoying a hearty meal, and afterwards enjoy a movie night in the sitting area. When sleep calls, freshen up in an opulent shower room, soaking the countryside chill from your hair, before settling into one of the two ground-floor bedrooms, choosing between a king-size and a twin. Dine alfresco in the morning sunshine, making the most of the patio space, before heading out to explore the local area. All this is just waiting to be explored with a stay at The Barn. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1130611, together sleeping up to eight guests.

Nether Wasdale is a small village situated to the west of Wastwater, the deepest lake in Great Britain. The village is well-served with two pubs, one with its own brewery, a farm shop and café selling local produce and ice cream. This area is the birthplace of climbing and is a superb base for climbing, hiking and all outdoor pursuits. Unlike many lakes, motorised boats are forbidden on Wastwater though canoeing and kayaking are perfect for these unspoilt and tranquil waters which add to the peace and serenity of this stunning part of the Lake District National Park. Wastwater is sided by The Screes and at the head of the lake the fells of Great Gable and Scafell Pike can be reached, popular with hikers and climbers alike. The view from the summit of Great Gable is said to be the finest view in Britain. At Wasdale Head is the church of St. Olaf, one of the smallest churches in England, dating back to 1550 and its beams are said to have come from Viking long boats. Close by are the villages of Santon Bridge and Gosforth.

    Finally it would be a nice touch to have a welcome pack as with all other cottages we have been. Ps no visitors book for comments.

    Super comfortable & a super location. Fantastic views & close to local pub & fabulous farm shop/cafe. A lovely base to explore The Lakes from. Friendly, helpful hosts. Close to beautiful Wast Water & Wasdale Head. We had a fantastic two weeks & we thoroughly recommend The Barn ❤️ Paul & Gill, Dorset.
