Set on a quiet lane in a pretty village overlooking open fields, an ideal base for walking and cycling, Alfred Wainwright described the area as one of the pleasantest of the Lakeland Valleys: a quiet, unspoilt, beautiful location.

Located in the pretty village of High Lorton, in the Lake District National Park, this charming two-bedroom property is a wonderful place to call home for a while. It’s the perfect holiday cottage for a couple or small family looking for long walks with their dog across scenic surrounding hills and fields.

An external stone staircase leads up to the front door of this end-of-terrace cottage. Inside, the ground floor is wonderfully comfortable and relaxed. Neutral tones and beautiful sash windows create a soothing atmosphere and after a day out exploring, you’ll want to sink into the lounge sofa with a drink in hand and your four-legged friend at your feet. On colder evenings, light the wood burner and snuggle up with a film on the TV. A pinewood table overlooks the lounge and is perfect for sociable meals, or for more casual dining, eat at the neat table in the kitchen. On the first floor, there are two light and airy bedrooms with windows that invite you to stop and stare at the green fields. There’s also a good-sized family bathroom on this floor. Back on ground level, head outside and you’ll find a snug/games room under the house, accessed via an external entrance. Older children will love this separate space and can while away the hours playing table football. Finally, a shared courtyard is a great spot for Fido to have a little potter while you enjoy a morning coffee.

On sunny days, you and your furry friend can splash in the Whitbeck that flows just outside the cottage or for a walk in nature, enjoy direct access to the path that runs from the village out towards High Swinside. Other walking routes include the 5-mile path to Crummock Water and the 7-mile hike to Scale Force Waterfall. For mountain biking trails, head 2 miles to Whinlatter Forest.

What a beautiful place to stay! Cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. Beautiful views from every window and walks in all directions. Would suggest walking around Buttermere (mid-week is quieter), ferry and walk around Derwentwater, forest walks in Whinlatter and coastal walks at St Bees.

We had a wonderful holiday and hope to return. Everything was clean and attractive. The beanbags are no longer there in the games room but plenty of DVDs and a retro atari games console. We walked several of the "Wainwrights" and enjoyed the books and OS maps to help with this. The water gets nice and hot and "boosts" quickly for a bath. We parked Read moreon the lane next to the cottage and there was almost always space here. Vegan options at the nearby pub. Lovely views of mountains from windows. Hide

A great cottage in a great location, really comfortable and warm considering the winter weather. Spent a week over Christmas and was able to walk everyday without having to drive to far, Buttermere and Crummock are within 15 minutes. Whinlatter is also just up the road and great for forest walking.

Over bath shower required and a toilet that does not require flushing 5 times after use would be good. The bathroom blind requires replacement or repair. The provision of wine glasses would also be useful. Compared to other cottages we have had in the area, the property was pretty average.
