Can you imagine such a mature man taking naked pictures of him and displays the picture on the wall in the bar!!!!!!!!!! I'd be ashamed!!!!!!Managers are paid for nothing!!!!!!if you are able to allow such photos on the walls, I imagine what kind of people you are!!!!!!!!!!! GO HOME!!!!!allow others to make a decent work!!!!!!

We stayed at the Inn for one night only on a flying visit to walk Scafell Pike. The room was very nice but we have stayed in better for a lot less. You can't fault the location, which is fantastic, but like other visitors i was suprised the kitchen closed at 8.30 in the evening. This caused us a few... More

Spent a week in one of the self catering units at the Wasdale Head Inn and was very pleased with both the accomodation and the excellent and attentive service provided by all of the staff at the hotel. All I wanted was to be able to park the car and leave it all week while I hiked the best mountains... More

Stayed here for a couple of days in the campsite and self catering apartments. Food in Ritsons is very nice and huge portions, but disappointed that they finished serving food at 8.30pm and did not have anywhere for a hearty breakfast if you are staying in the campsite especially on a busy bank holiday weekend. Food is very tasty though... More

We called into 'Ritson's Bar' while travelling around the Lake District, the drive to this remote part of the world is breathtaking, with views of England's highest mountain. In the bar area they served light lunches, sandwiches, soups etc, as the main restaurant is only open in the evenings. The food was freshly prepared by the chef, you can see... More

Popped in while in the area for the weekend. Brought back memories as the last time I visited was about 18 years ago as an 18 year old. Only had lunch here and although the food was very nice, it was a bit steep for my liking. Worth a visit if your in the area for the location and scenery.... More

We stayed at the Wasdale Head Inn campsite for two nights this weekend and ate at the Wasdale Head Inn pub on both nights. The food was amazing!!! We all agreed that we'd never tasted nicer chips! The staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was good and that fact that it's always busy speaks volumes. The campsite is ideally located... More

We went to the inn after climbing scafell pike. The staff were very helpful and friendly, and couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Food was very good, large portions, just what you need after your climb up scafell. Would definately recommend to anyone climbing the mountain and will be visiting again!

If your adrenaline doesn't rise and your heartbeat quicken when you drive into Wasdale then your medication is too strong. My favourite place in England, its towering beauty never fails to fill me with awe and anticipation. The same excitment was there when I used to check in to the Wasdale Head Inn in days past. Then something went wrong... More
