We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wastwater cottage. We found the cottage very spacious, well maintained with a comprehensively stocked kitchen, a comfortable bed in the huge master bedroom, a really relaxing lounge space and access to lovely grassed gardens by the beck. Our daughter loved the baby grand piano, which was in tune! Location wise this was ideal for a family as there is plenty of easy access on foot into nature. No long drives necessary to get away from it all. A good selection of three nearby pubs - one very close by - provides an excellent excuse not to cook. The Woolpack has an outdoor ping pong table and space hoppers for the kids. The Eskdale mini steam railway is just a short wander down the road; serving great trips to the coast (try to time with high tide else you will be on mud flats) and great ice cream. Overall, this holiday was super relaxing and staying in such a lovely house really is the icing on the cake.
