The Great British Outdoors Before Mosedale Cottage was converted into a bothy it was last lived in around 1930. Now under the care of Mountain Bothy Association, it offers a welcoming temporary shelter for hill walkers in the Lake District.
Features
The bothy has a good-sized living area with multi-fuel stove, four other rooms (two are very small), and an outdoor composting toilet. It has a sleeping platform in one of the rooms that’s big enough for up to 6 people. There are two comfy sofas and chairs that you usually find in good-sized bothies. Outside there are other outbuildings that are locked and used by shepherds and estate workers.
Location
A very remote location of 2 hours walk from the nearest inhabited area. From bothy, there are views over wild and hilly terrain and a sense of isolation.
Size
The bothy offers generous sleeping capacity accommodating over 12 across all rooms.
Comfort
The bothy has comfortable sofas, chairs, and multifuel stove but still, it can become cold on frostier nights.
Accessibility
It’s a remote and boggy location and about a 3-mile hike from Haweswater reservoir.
