The holiday cottage on a working Herdwick farm at the head of Wast Water, with the farm's own access to the lake shore and the Scafell paths starting from the yard. Two well-behaved dogs are allowed by prior arrangement at twenty pounds each for the stay, and prior arrangement means exactly that on a farm that lambs its own Herdwicks. The farm also has three shepherd's huts, for which no dog policy is published, so the cottage is the confirmed option. Sheep are on the land around the buildings all year, so a lead from the door.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
Burnthwaite Farm B&B is a place to stay in Wasdale Head. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
Lingmell House is a place to stay in Wasdale Head. It is listed here so you know it is there, but we have not yet established whether dogs are welcome — so there is no verdict on this page and no stamp. If it is your business, claim the page and tell us, and we will stamp it.
The bed and breakfast annexe of the Wasdale Head Inn, standing at the road end below Kirk Fell with Great Gable straight ahead and the Scafell Pike path leaving from the same yard. The inn's own page for Lingmell House states plainly that dogs are welcome here, which it does not say of the main hotel bedrooms or of Ritson's Bar. Rooms are simple walkers' accommodation rather than hotel rooms, which suits a wet dog after Mosedale. Ritson's Bar and Abrahams Restaurant are a few steps away but publish no dog policy, so check at the desk before taking a dog inside.
Nobody has written one for Wasdale Head Hall Farm holiday cottage. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
Know one we have missed?
Local knowledge beats desk research every time. Name the place and we will check it properly — the venue's own policy, confirmed, then stamped and dated like every other listing.
One short email when we add places or a council changes its beach rules. No noise, easy out.
