Beautifully and thoughtfully finished property blending old and new. Stunning room (Stone) with a very comfortable bed all the amenities you would need and a luxurious bathroom. Breakfast was also top tier with local produce featuring in the menu. The hot tub was also a lovely touch after a day of walking. Highly recommend this place for a luxurious break to explore the Western lakes.

Amazing Place!

A perfect stay! Amazing comfy, cosy and massive bed which gave a perfect night sleep ahead of us climbing Scafell Pike which was really easy to get to. Super clean, loved the modern touches but also the traditional parts which remained from the barn. Breakfast was amazing and loved that it catered to vegetarian and non-dairy options without having to ask for this. We loved watching the alpacas from our bedroom. The freshly made cakes each day were such a treat and tasted beautiful. Only 10 mins drive from the beach, and some lovely restaurants like The Wild Olive. Can’t think of any faults!

I loved my one night stay - truly relaxing - in one of the rooms with bath/shower & loo on a mezzanine above the bed. ~20 minutes awayfrom Scafell and 35 minutes away from the Hardknott Pass, it's location is in dramatic countryside. The bedroom is modern, clean and of a good size. The bed was very comfortable with great linen and pillows. Faith and the team were very welcoming even when I turned up too early. There are a couple of wooden benches in front of the buildings and a hot tub behind. If a couple of benches could be placed beyond the hot tub, you would be able to crash out and have stunning views. Breakfast, cooked to order, is really good quality as is the wide range of other foods available for breaky. All excellent really, so thank you for preparing me to ride over the Hardknott Pass.

Best B&B in the Lake District

The best B&B in the Lakes! We stayed for two nights in Dec 2024 and could not fault this place & will definitely be returning. It is finished to a high standard throughout, very comfortable and the staff are brilliant. It’s a great base for exploring the Lakes, either hiking, cycling, running etc and there is a boot room to dry wet clothes etc.
The breakfast is delicious with a great selection including a hot fresh cooked to order option. There is an honesty bar which is well stocked and delicious cake is also available mid afternoon.
It is very easy to access great local restaurants/ pubs in Gosforth e.g The Olive Tree.
The staff we met were all incredibly friendly, helpful & polite. Thank you for a wonderful trip!

Our experience was amazing. The room was so cosy, clean and warm. A beautiful bath with gorgeous toiletries supplied. The owner and son were so friendly and helpful. They have a dry room which was great for our hiking gear. The breakfast was the best breakfast I've ever had at any hotel, b&b or guest houses. Will definitely be back again.

More special than any place you've ever stayed

Do you have a really wealthy friend with a sumptuous guest suite? Staying here is like visiting that friend. Every detail is meticulously curated, including robes, towels and flip flops that are delivered if you book the hot tub, homemade shortbread, color coordinated chocolates on your pillow, chef made breakfast, a focus on locally made amenities (bedding, toiletries, beers, jams, and other breakfast items), homemade cake every afternoon, combination lock door handles, multiple lighting options from ambient to task, soaking tub, rainfall shower and handheld wand. The inn itself is the quintessentially perfect combination of good planning, old bones and contemporary style. It is a refurbished barn from 1692 that has retained its stone walls, but been fitted with underfloor heating and kitted with high end plush furnishings and decorated with an eye for distinction.

Set on a farm, it's a 5 min drive into Gosforth, 15 minutes to the Wast Water (or less if you don't hit traffic on the single track road),30 minutes to the ocean for beaches and seaside towns, and in the midst of all the wild beauty, ancient history and outdoor adventure available in the western Lake District. You won't find over crowded tourist towns here. You'll need a car, to get round, but you'll be staying in the lap of luxury whilst immersed in the wilder side of the District.

Every suite is distinct, lovely and comfortable, but we are fond of Cairns. Video coming on Well Travelled Life YouTube channel.

Attention to detail

Its all about attention to detail, and this place has got it and then some! Can not rate this accomodation highly enough the staff where so friendly and helpful, and nothing was a problem for them. The little things matter and the place has plenty of quality. The hot tub was a nice extra as was the piano in the lounge area. Very clean and tidy. We will be back, lovely experience and the breakfast was excellent in both quality and quantity. It was a pleasure to stay here.

A very special place

A wonderful stay at a truly beautiful property. The care and craftsmanship that has been given to the restoration of this farm steading is evident throughout the building. The room we had (Fells) was one of the nicest spaces I've stayed in. Huge room with gorgeous bathroom on a mezzanine above. Hot tub after a long day on the fells was also a lovely addition! Breakfast was superb and staff were attentive without being intrusive - particular mention to Juliet who couldn't do enough. Will be back!

Amazing stay at 1692 Wasdale, will definitely be staying there again if ever in the west lakes for hikes. Would recommend to anyone.

The rooms are stunning, amazing views from the hot tub (make sure you call to book a slot). We even got to feed the alpacas after speaking to Faith about them. She chopped us up some carrots to take out to them.

Wonderful 1692 Wasdale

Had a Fabulous short stay at 1692 which definitely met all of our high expectations. Stayed in the Cairn suite which was exactly as described, the bath was a much needed extra and a delight after walking up Scafell Pike. Breakfast was devine with everything you could possibly want from continental or cooked. Cleanliness was second to none and this coupled with all of the above and the friendly warm welcome we received I could not recommend 1692 more highly . Its definitely worth a visit 😁 we will be back x x
