Perched on Swinside Fell, Lorton View takes its name from the stunning scenery that greets you at every turn and from the windows, doorway and patio. Tucked into the hillside at the rear, with wide open views across the fells from the front, it’s the perfect base for walkers and nature lovers, with trails leading straight from your door on to the peaceful western fells. From here you can soak up sweeping views across the Lake District, the Solway Coast, and even into Scotland.
Just a short drive away, you will find the bustling market towns of Cockermouth and Keswick, brimming with independent shops, cosy pubs, inviting restaurants, and plenty of attractions to explore. Yet, after a day out, you will love retreating to the total tranquillity of Lorton View.
This charming studio apartment lies just a mile from the village of Lorton, along a winding country lane, next to the owners’ home. With its stunning views, private patio area, BBQ, and outdoor seating, it’s made for relaxed evenings dining alfresco and watching the sun dip behind the fells with a glass of wine in hand.
Step inside through your own private entrance into the small kitchen area before stepping into a bright, open-plan space combining lounge and bedroom. Stay cosy with electric heating throughout, curl up in the comfy armchairs, or sink into the luxurious super king-size oak sleigh bed for a restful night. In the mornings, linger a little longer with a coffee and that view, or watch your favourite show on the Smart TV before heading out on your next adventure.
The small kitchen comes equipped with a plug-in hob, fridge, and microwave, perfect for rustling up simple meals to enjoy at the dining table. A modern shower room ensures you can refresh after a day on the fells.
All bed linen, towels, electricity, and private parking for one car are included. Outside, enjoy your own slice of the Lake District with a patio, garden furniture, BBQ, fire pit, and those unforgettable views.
Lorton is mid way between the market towns of Cockermouth and Keswick in the western fells. The village has a small village shop with a good selection of everyday essentials. There are a number of renowned pubs and eateries within a short drive of Lorton and both Keswick and Cockermouth are less than 7 miles away with numerous pubs, restaurants and supermarkets. Lorton is perfect for exploring the quieter fells and lakes of the western Lake District with Buttermere, Loweswater, Wast Water and Crummock Water all within a short drive, as are the popular lakes of Bassenthwaite and Derwent Water.
