The Wasdale Head Inn & Apartments

Staff excellent. Food good. Clean bed. Close to start of climb.

You’re sitting on a gem of a place and yet it’s dirty and unloved. A good clean. New carpets. Some paint. And generally a big hug is all that’s required.

Location, location, location and breakfast, Poppy, the hotel receptionist was amazing! Shop next door selling hiking essentials and more! River running next to the hotel, breathtaking scenery, very friendly and attentive staff, restaurant/pub on site selling very good food!

Shower facilities would have been better than a bath, comfier bed and a thicker/bulkier duvet needed. Breakfast could have been more inclusive for solo travellers i.e. sit all the solo travellers on one round table for breakfast in the morning to encourage interaction with one another as we all have one thing in common! Better weather?!

Staff were awesome - couldn't be more helpful and accommodating (including reassuring a hiker whose party were stranded on the mountain, and getting ready to organise rescue, which fortunately was not needed in the end). Beautiful property, comfortable rooms, excellent local real ales on tap, good food, great breakfast, perfectly situated for climbing Scafell Pike and other local hikes, and especially - lovely people, and hospitality at its best in every sense!

Absolutely nothing I could think of to improve the experience!

Really happy with everything. A revisit is guaranteed

The Wasdale Head Inn is iconic - incredible location. It has oodles of rustic charm. The staff were outstanding - super friendly and accommodating. The food is basic but good - I really enjoyed the chile!

I know it's winter - but it was freezing - everywhere! I had to put my thermals on in bed. It isn't really a complaint - perhaps I've grown soft in my old age. I had 2 nights in the Inn and camped the last night. Now that was cold!

The location is fantastic, some but not all of he staff are friendly

Very basic for the cost. I appreciate that this is in a fab location but it’s very dated and whilst it’s adequate and is a step up from camping, I have stayed in tidier and more up to date for less.
