About Us
NEW from 1/9/25. Stunning getaway in the beautiful Lorton valley, with spectacular views from both inside and outside the house and numerous walks/cycles straight from the door.A mile off the bike C2C route. Local shop and country pub within short walking distance. Shared private parking. Super king size bed, Egyptian cotton bedding/towels, cosy armchairs, table/chairs. SW facing patio. Quiet place to recharge, walk or swim the lakes/fells, appreciate the view and wildlife (sheep, pheasant, heron, owl, red squirrels, hare all come to the garden) When you access this wonderful space, through your own front door, you walk straight in to a lovely small kitchen area and then you walk through to the main room which is a living and bedroom.
The first thing you’ll notice is the amazing view across the whole Lorton valley from the full length French door.
You’ll find a huge super-king size oak sleigh bed, with Egyptian cotton bedding, 2 cosy armchairs complete with snuggly blankets, a dining table and 2 chairs, a TV, wifi, Bluetooth speakers, sockets and lamps with charging points, and all you need for a wonderful stay. And, of course, that view...! Wow!
A newly appointed kitchen area with quartz worktop, fridge with freezer compartment and all the bits and pieces you’ll need including a kettle, toaster, and glasses, crockery, cutlery, teapots, cafetière, etc.
Outside there’s a small west facing patio with chairs and a table. This gets the sun from late morning until sunset and has wonderful wide open views across fields and fells and the whole Lorton valley. A variety of wildlife visit, from pheasants and hares to red squirrels, a wide variety of birds and even, if you’re lucky, red deer. Also, sometimes, the owner’s cats! This is a part of the owner’s house with a locked door separating the AirBnB and house areas. Access to the full kitchen in the main house with oven etc can be provided on request.
The bathroom has a shower area with waterfall shower (plus a side shower attachment if you don’t want to get your hair wet!), loo and washbasin. Egyptian cotton bath and hand towels.
Lots of walks and cycle rides straight from the door (maps and guides in the house), Whinlatter forest with its nature walks, challenging cycle paths and GoApe is only 2 miles away. The market towns of Cockermouth and Keswick are very short drive away and even closer are the beautiful Crummock water, Loweswater and Buttermere lakes. Wonderful for a circular walk or even a lake swim! Lorton also has a wonderful village shop - a great local shop selling a wide range of local produce, which is about 0.75 of a mile walk from the house and they will provide a personalised pack of food / drink etc if you wish. Let the owner know what you’d like and she’ll order one for you and it’ll be waiting when you arrive.
There are several really lovely local country pubs within easy walking distance / short driving distance. Try the Kirkstile Inn 4 miles away for a really cosy country pub atmosphere, roaring fires in winter, great food and a garden with a wonderful view of Melbreak; or the Wheatsheaf Inn in Low Lorton also has a good atmosphere, great food and beer and is even closer - just over a mile away.
The market towns of Cockermouth and Keswick are a very short drive away as are the beautiful Crummock water, Loweswater and Buttermere lakes. Wonderful for a circular walk or even a lake swim!
All you need for a perfect stay walking the fells, swimming the lakes, or just chilling looking at that amazing view!
