Was amazing, only stayed one night but was very cosy. A lot of rules to keep on top of which put a lot of us on edge to

Very homey, super cosy! Amazing shower, the bathroom was gorgeous and the layout was very comfortable.

Many many rules and a consequence of a £200 if you didn’t abide. Which i found absurd considering the simple basis of these rules. Everything else was great.

Great place for a quiet break, ideal for access to Wasdale, Scafell, and woodland walks.

Great location. Very quiet. Clean, Warm, good shower, hot water. Cosy, comfy bed, friendly hosts. Well equipped throughout.

Nothing about the place needed improvement. The long private road up to the property is challenging for a nervous driver.

Unwelcomin and disrespectful host! Unfair terms which are only told after arrival. Place not clean.

Nothing

Did not like it at all. The host are not interested in hospitality. Very rude! The place with full of signs and warning which makes you run away from the place. Dont do this, dont do that. If you do this, there will be fine if you do this. Entered our room without telling us when we were away. Place wasn't cleaned properly. Cowboy operation it is!

Lovely stay in the Wadsdale

The location of The Big "W" Ranch is hard to beat. Set up on the hillside, you have magnificent views of the valley. The Ranch is near Wast Water, meaning that it is close to so many lovely walking trails that you will have a hard time choosing. It is also close enough to the sea and other tourist sites (i.e. Muncaster Castle) that you will have those as easy options as well. The room itself was clean and comfortable with plenty of space for our family of three. The beds were very comfortable and had end tables and outlets nearby for charging and setting books/water. The bathroom was a good size with a wonderful rainfall showerhead. The kitchen is well set up with a full sized fridge/freezer, hob, stove, etc.

Didn’t happen.

Nothing as we couldn’t access the property.

Nasty host. We were one hour away from the accommodation. We booked this as it was stated “Pets Allowed” on Booking.com. Now this doesn’t stipulate specific pets, it generalises on Booking.com as “Pets” we believed this to be domestic pets (dogs and cats) not lamas or snakes as the host said “domestic pets” could mean. We had previously spent 3 nights in an Air BnB that permitted “pets” and our cat. We telephoned ahead to this accommodation (Wast Water Cottage) to see if we could arrive a little earlier as we wanted to hike in that area. The host said we weren’t allowed to take our cat unless he was in a crate which we didn’t have with us! He declined to accommodate us and stated it was at Booking.com’s discretion to refund us. Which he then responded when we requested for this via Booking.com that he would give us a 40% refund. Which almost one week later he hasn’t actioned to send us and also left a bitter nasty reply to a review on Google about this. This is most upsetting given it ruined the end of our holiday and we went home a day early. We were under the illusion pets meant any domesticated pet. He stated that on the actual website for the accommodation it stipulates what animals are allowed. But we didn’t book via his website. We used Booking.com which he could write his own terms on and could have stipulated in the terms here which domestic animals he accepts. He said our cat could pee and tore his furniture. Our cat is house trained. Neutered. And uses a litter tray. He is well travelled. We feel cheated out of our money and upset he won’t grant us a full refund given he declined our stay and cut our holiday in the Lakes short. Giving ridiculous reasons about a domestic pet could be anything and blamed booking.com for not stipulating more detail. Something he could actually write in his own rules section of booking.com

Absolutely loved our stay.

Great set up. Helpful guide book/manual. Idyllic and peaceful.

We didn’t realise there was accommodation above when we booked. The noise travelled downstairs a little.

A gorgeous find in ideal proximity to Scafell Pike.

The accommodation had everything we needed and had such amazing views and such a close location to Scafell Pike. We liked the self check in and everything was explained clearly in the instructions.

Beautiful place in a stunning location.

Very comfortable and peaceful. The Cottage was well equipped. The whole place is just beautiful & the views were stunning. Communication from the host was great all the way through including clear instructions on getting to the Location. My wife wanted to spend some time with the horses and the lovely lady Rowan who works there arranged for her to be able to ride a horse in the indoor arena which was perfect. She even managed to get us to see the Highland Cows which was a bonus. So big praise to Rowan who is a credit to The Big W Ranch. We will definitely be visiting again.

David is lovely - A sweet, simple & secluded space, giving peaceful views in the morning.

Good location, got all the things you need in the place. Lovely bathroom, spacious enough. Everything works fine, nothing is damaged, all good quality things.

Can not really think of anything. - Parking was a bit tight, however I had a big saloon, so it does make sense. Do have to be careful coming uphill towards the cottage at night as roads are very narrow, however it seems no one in the past had an issue, and I’d visit again for sure.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS

i liked leaving

Horrible host made us clean up ourselves because his cleaner couldn't get up the icy hill which he never warned me about. Then lied on arrival saying he couldn't get in touch with us to let us know his cleaner wasn't around while he was out of the country eventhoigh we spoke a few hours prior and he knew i was coming from glasgow so would be tired on arrival. Sort of weak male who takes advantage of the weak more passive people. Disgusting state of sheets in the laundry room to clean up, shocking attitude towards myself and my partner, very weird site, shocking heating system with just 1 radiator that turns on and off so the room gets freezing, it's not even a bungalow, all the postive reviews are FAKE and simply a holiday from hell experience here.

would happily stay again, pub is more like an hour walk away not 20 mins. if you want to be away for the huddle and buss

the location is so lovely and peaceful. the cottage itself was very clean and comfortable with everything you needed for a short stay.

the only problem we found were two sets of very noisy upstairs guests but that’s not the fault of the owners.

Stunning views and ideal for walkers and cyclists for a long weekend or weeks stay

The views were stunning and very comfortable with all the facilities we needed for our stay

everything was great with the accommodation just a shame the local restaurant and pubs close very early in July, high season, so you need to go fully prepared for stocks at the accommodation to cook.

The views from this hidden gem are stunning, looking out over Wastwater and seeing the hills beyond at sunset is a special sight. Really friendly host, comfortable well appointed accommodation and perfect location for exploring Wasdale.

I have been to the Lake District many a time and stayed in different accommodations, but this was far the best I have stayed in. It was clean, tidy fresh and the views were amazing. Will definitely stay again and longer. It would be nice if there had been some milk for when we got there. But overall it was brilliant.

Brilliant for a hike up a mountain or a friends getaway.

The instructions before arrival were perfect. Easy to access the property and the views are amazing. Very clean, very comfortable, with spacious bathroom with great hot water and brilliant shower. Just what you need after a hike up Scafell Pike.

8.0 / 10.0

very comfortable and discreet

The property was fantastic. Clean, modern, spacious just enough for me and my two teenage children. The bathroom was incredible.

The only thing I would say is you can hear every detail from the property above footsteps so after climbing scafell and wanting to chill in bed it was difficult as we could hear pretty much everything going on upstairs but this isn’t down to the owner.

The location was amazing and the cottage we stayed in was beautiful. Such a shame we arrived in the dark and had to leave so soon. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect for Wasdale routes

Comfortable beds, hot water, great shower, all needed after a day of walking. Well equipped and stocked with basics and complimentary extras. Stunning views.

Tricky road to get to the accommodation. Noisy upstairs, unsure if this was structural or noisy people
