Location & Grounds

Burnthwaite Farm B&B sits at the head of Wasdale Valley, 5.2 km from Wasdale, with direct footpaths to Scafell Pike, Kirk Fell, and Great Gable. The property is a working farm with Herdwick sheep, chickens, and mountain views from every window. The Wasdale Head Inn is a 10-minute walk away, and the smallest parish church in England is a short stroll down the lane.

Rooms & Facilities

Accommodations include Standard Single, Double, and Twin rooms with shared bathrooms, plus Double and Twin rooms with private bathrooms. Each room has a wardrobe, kettle, and tea/coffee tray with biscuits. The shared lounge offers a log burner, board games, puzzles, a DVD collection, and a TV area for guest relaxation.

Dining & Breakfast

Breakfast offers Full English/Irish, vegetarian, and vegan options, with gluten-free diets accommodated on request. Packed lunches (two large sandwiches, crisps, apple, cake) are available upon request for hiking days. The on-site bar sells beer and wine until 9 pm, and the dining room doubles as a guest lounge.

Pet & Family Policies

Dogs are welcome, with dog towels provided at the door and a warm welcome for canine guests. The B&B offers family rooms such as Standard Twin rooms and Double rooms with private bathrooms. Board games and DVDs in the lounge keep children entertained, and the working farm's chickens and lambs add to the experience.

“Nestled deep in the valley, this farmhouse feels like stepping into a warm embrace, with sheep bleating softly outside and a log fire crackling in the communal lounge. The hosts anticipate every need, from gluten-free breakfasts to packed lunches for early risers tackling the nearby fells. It's a place where the landscape directly informs the stay, offering an unparalleled starting point for mountain adventures.”
