In a great location for walking, Scafell Pike and many more. Great local ales brewed on site. The food was amazing and generous portions. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Whilst very remote, the property was great for its proximity to Scafell Pike. The cottage was spacious and very clean and ticked all the boxes. The views outside were amazing, and even saw a hot air balloon take off in the morning!

The location was absolutely brilliant, stunning views and well laid out. We loved having access to the guest garden to sit out in the morning and evenings. The property was very clean and comfortable, had all the facilities that we needed and helpful that toiletries and kitchen cleaning products were provided. Dave the host was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed. Would absolutely return here if we were holidaying in the Lakes again and 100% will be recommending to family and friends.

Loved the surrounding area (with the alpacas). The room & bed were both super comfortable to stay in. Really enjoyed all the little touches in the decor and the services provided (cake in the afternoon, breakfast was amazing, great recommendations of nearby restaurant, the mini bar had tons of options). Staff very friendly and welcoming. Very close to the deepest lake in England - would definitely come back and stay here!

Nether Wasdale was chosen because it was central to walking areas. Easy access to Wasdale head.The cafe at the sawmill was very good, it also had a shop. The area is remote so not at all touristy. We stayed at the Strands Inn which has a microbrewery, the beer is excellent. The evening meals were good. Its a long way from our home in Manchester to the west of Cumbria but worth the journey.

It advertises as pet friendly then tried to bill us for dog hairs being left in the apartment.
Mould on ceiling in bathroom.
Lots of flies in cottage.
Coffee machine didn't work.
Advertises as having sky but they didn't.
Wi fi wasn't great.
Dirt and dust under beds and couch, it hadn't been cleaned properly.
Stains on bed linen.
Not a holiday with so many rules and restrictions. It was a wooden floor that could be moped but your still told to take your shoes off at the door.
Too many rules and felt on edge.

It's a great part of the Lake District.
It's a great part of the Lake District. You can reach Wast Water lake from the accommodation and its a really scenic walk. Not overcrowded by tourists. Scafell Pike looms magnificently as a back drop to The Strands Hotel.

Nether Wasdale is a quiet location that provides a good base for walks long or short as it is close to the starting point for Scafell Pike. It's much quieter than other more popular Lakes towns, so expect to drive a short while to find other shops and restaurants. I will definitely visit again in better weather so as to take advantage of the beautiful Wast Water walks nearby, or just to enjoy the comforts the smaller inns offer.
We stayed at the Strands Hotel which has great food and local ales from its own microbrewery. A great little farm shop and cafe, the Sawmill, is great for a coffee-and-cake stop alongside a stream, and offers insight into the former industries of this quieter area.

Nether Wasdale is remote with fantastic countryside.
Nether Wasdale is remote with fantastic countryside. You need a car and to want to explore this amazing valley. There are parking spaces along Wast Water and walks. Going into the fells requires good map reading and a sense of adventure and is hugely rewarding. Visit St Olaf's Church at Wasdale Head.

Beautiful setting and base to explore.
Beautiful setting and base to explore. It is remote and a couple of days is a good length of stay because there are just the two pubs and not much else to do. We had not been before and we would visit again for a short stay.
The owners and staff were very friendly and helpful. Everyone worked well within the restrictions and we felt safe throughout our stay. Our accommodation was clean and comfortable and we could get extra tea/coffee whenever we needed some. The food was generous and excellent. Really loved our stay, would recommend The Strands to anyone and will be returning. Thank you to Lesley and Mark and all the staff for making our holiday relaxing.
AMAZING and idyllic location.
Wasdale lake is just a km away from the cottage which was a pleasant surprise!
Lots of hiking routes near the cottage and an ideal location for mountain climbing or water activities.
Very warm and homely feel, mostly clean and tidy, fluffy pillows and the beds were super comfy.
The property was set in the hills so beautiful views-it’s an ideal spot to discover both the seaside and the mountains- we climbed Scafell Wasdale head starts really close to the cottage, there’s a fabulous lake walking distance where you can canoe. Today we visited Seascale where there’s a lovely beach.
The quaintest of pubs, in the most beautiful surroundings!!!
Small, comfortable, warm, rooms.
Friendly staff, amazing food and an array of beers all brewed on site.
If you like super modern, you won't like it, which is great for me as I should always be able to book!!
Positives- location, location, location!!! We have wanted to explore the Wast water area for a while as it’s off the beaten track and this is perfect. 5 mins drive from Wast water and a lovely cafe called the sawmill down the road and a couple of pubs.
The views are amazing and there is literally a hike right outside the door!! The property has everything you would need, just bring your food and wine. There are also lots of good places to eat nearby such as the Wild Olive and the Sawmill!
Spotlessly clean and comfortable accommodation just 12 minutes walk along a quiet road to the shore of Wastwater. Footpaths leading to the southern area of the lake virtually from the door and a short drive to parking for Scarfell Pike.
