Details

High Swinside Holiday Cottages is a pet friendly holiday accommodation at High Lorton near Cockermouth, Cumbria. Our 3 self catering holiday homes located in an idyllic hillside setting above the Lorton valley and is a great base for a family who are looking to enjoy a relaxing break away. From the cottages, the garden and the hot tub there are superb panoramic views - from Melbreak overlooking Crummock Water through 180 degrees to the distant Scottish Mountains. The Vale of Lorton is surely one of Lakeland’s hidden gems, so serene and peaceful, yet only 8 miles from Keswick or 6 miles from Cockermouth.

High Swinside Cottage:

The cottage has a good sized double bedroom with an ensuite shower room. A twin bedroom and a single bedroom share the family bathroom. Downstairs there is a cosy lounge with log burning stove, comfy sofa and arm chairs, games, books, maps to borrow, satellite TV and DVD. There is good wifi reception throughout the cottage. The kitchen is well equipped and from the dining table there are lovely views out over the valley and towards the Grasmoor fells. (In a separate basement there is also a washing machine for your use).

Little Swinside Cottage:

Our tastefully converted cottage has most of the accommodation upstairs, including a double bedroom, sitting/dining room with a log burner, kitchen, and bathroom. Downstairs a patio room has exceptional views down the Lorton valley and French windows that lead onto a small terrace with table and chairs.

The Farmhouse:

This wonderful cottage was originally built in 1741 and now offers high quality accommodation. In total, there are 4 bedrooms, including 1 on the ground floor and 3 bath or shower rooms. The kitchen is well-equipped for home dining and a cosy sitting room comes with a log burner for those chilly days and satellite TV/DVD player. The dining area is great for delicious meals. Bedrooms including a downstairs twin, upstairs twin, en suite double and super king room.

The shared garden has a picnic table and benches for enjoying the view and gated access onto the open fells with wonderful walks right on your doorstep. Across the valley lies Low Fell, while to the north you look beyond Fellbarrow to the Solway Firth and the Scottish mountains beyond. The garden has an enclosed wooded area where dogs are free to roam safely.

The Vale of Lorton stretches from the Honister Pass through to Cockermouth. It contains the beautiful lakes Buttermere, Crummock Water and Loweswater and the River Cocker as it winds north from the lakes through Lorton valley. Staying here also gives easy access to the Solway coast, Whinlatter Forest and the bustling Lakeland towns of Cockermouth and Keswick. Lorton Vale is not only one of the lushest and prettiest parts of the Northern Lakes, with so much within reach it also offers more variety of things to do than most central Lakeland valleys
