Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 4 - High Lorton, Cumbria

Rustic and homely with a touch of old-world charm, this stone cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms and is perfectly suited to families. The quiet village location on the outer reaches of the Lake District National Park offers a plethora of walking and cycling opportunities, whether you are tempted by the impressive sights of Whiteside and Hopegill Head, or prefer the tranquil waters of Loweswater and Crummock. All easily reached within 4.5 miles, you’ll soon have worked up an appetite for some delicious local fare in one of Cockermouth’s popular restaurants or pubs 4.5 miles away.

Hire bikes and discover the scenery of Whinlatter Forest 3.5 miles away, or scale the treetops for an unforgettable aerial adventure. However you envisage your stay, you’ll find plenty to amuse your entire party. Immediately greeted by a traditional stone exterior, you’ll step inside to find a small hallway that leads to the lounge/diner/kitchen, the latter equipped with an electric oven and hob, a microwave, washer/dryer, fridge and freezer.

Open-plan and comfortable, you’ll be able to enjoy mealtimes around the table, or settle down on the sofas to appreciate the warmth from the multi-fuel burner. Upstairs, the bathroom features a shower over the bath and WC, and there are two pleasant bedrooms – one double and one twin. Doors open out onto the enclosed patio area, which is shared with the neighbouring cottage and offers a quiet place for al fresco coffee in the morning.

Parking is on-street and subject to availability on the nearby road.
