We received a very warm welcome from the hosts, David and Sally-Anne.. They had put the heating on ready for us and some lamps, as it was dusk when we arrived. The welcome pack and flowers were appreciated. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable and had everything we needed, including soaps and shampoo in both bathrooms. We enjoyed watching many different birds at the garden feeder. It is in an ideal location for exploring Wasdale and the surrounding fells and valleys. A torch is essential if you are walking to the pub, as it is very dark at night, which is great for star-gazing. We ate at the Strands Inn most evenings, where the food was tasty, plentiful and fresh. They brew their own excellent beers and have six on hand pump at any one time.
Overall we had an excellent time at Stable End Cottage, and would be very happy to stay again.
