About

The Strands and Screes: Hotel, Pub, Smokehouse, Brewery and Distillery

Tucked into the village of Nether Wasdale, in the quiet western corner of the Lake District, the Strands and Screes is a 22-room hotel built around good food, good drink and easy access to some of England’s finest scenery. Muddy boots are welcome, fires are lit, and nobody is in a hurry to leave.

Wast Water, England’s deepest lake, is a short stroll or drive away, its dark waters framed by the dramatic scree slopes that give us half our name. Scafell Pike rises beyond. If you’d rather keep to the valley floor, the surrounding lanes, woodland and lakeshore paths make for wonderful low-level walks, whatever your pace or the weather.

After a day outdoors, head to the Strands Pub, the village local, where walkers and regulars mix and a proper pint is poured the way it should be. Many of those pints come from our own brewery, where we make traditional cask ales on site. Alongside them we produce small-batch craft spirits in our distillery. It’s all made steps from where you’ll drink it, and you can taste the difference. For dinner, The Strands Pub and Restaurant will offer you one of the best Steak and Ale Pies from the area or you may try our seasonal Screes Smokehouse which serves  slow-smoked meats and robust seasonal cooking both outlets are great to restore tired legs and big appetites.

Our 22 rooms offer a peaceful retreat at the end of the day, with comfy beds, quiet nights and a hot breakfast to set you up for the fells. Whether you’re here to climb, wander, sample our ales and spirits or simply escape, the Strands and Screes puts you at the heart of Nether Wasdale and is your welcome home at the foot of the fells.
