The bedrooms and bathroom are on the ground floor, which leaves the entire first floor for the open-plan living room, kitchen and dining room, which is a great space to spend time with your family and friends.

Comfortably sleeping four people in a double bedroom and a twin bedroom, this property is ideal for families and couples.

Situated in The Vale of Lorton, which runs from Cockermouth down to Crummock Water and Buttermere, the quaint village of High Lorton has a little shop and an excellent village pub and restaurant. This lovely property is situated within the village, which makes Melbreak a great choice for those who prefer a more rural location. High Lorton is very popular with walkers and cyclists, thanks to its easy access to some amazing walks and cycle routes, including the Whinlatter Visitor Centre, 3¾ miles. With free access to England’s only true mountain forest, rising 1000ft above sea level, it provides a range of activities for all ages, from forest mountain trails to the high rope adventure course, Go Ape, and an excellent play area and Gruffalo Trail specifically for younger children. You can also hire bikes or visit the café, it really is a great day out for all ages. Beach 12 miles. Shop 350 yards, pub and restaurant ¾ mile.

Need a car as the cottage is remote. Very cold on arrival maybe heating could be switched on prior to arrival.

Lovely location in a picturesque village on the quiet western side of the Lakes.

Lovely location in a picturesque village on the quiet western side of the Lakes. Easy drive to Cockermouth or Keswick for shopping and other amenities. (Though there is also an excellent village shop). We were there during a very busy, and unusually sunny, bank holiday, but were able to walk from the cottage straight up onto hills, and didn't see any other walkers. The cottage is small but very well equipped.

the cottage is very well equipped, lovely decorations, spacey kitchen (with really everything you need and more...) and living room, very cosy bedrooms. There is a large parking space, and really everything is there to make your stay a succes : hairdryer, dvd's, books, games etc. The shower works excellent in a nice and spacey enough badroom.The location is excellent, very quiet and yet a 15 min.drive to Cockermouth (shops!) and 20mins from Keswick and Honister, Buttermere etc. The local village shop is marvellous, a real bonus, friendly people and local products. Wifi works brilliant, we have only one minus : tv reception was a bit poor at times, we had quite a lot of disruptions, to be fair we never contacted Cumbrian Cottages because we thought it would become better and we didn't watch telly that much. Maybe something to look at? Overall very,very happy and we look forward to return!

Fantastic week, heavy snow a bonus.

Fantastic week, heavy snow a bonus. Good situation for walking, the weather was bright and clear. The cottage was warm and very well equipped. I found the bed a little soft for my comfort. Great laundry room and freezer. Don’t like Friday starts, so had to miss a day as we weren’t able to travel till Saturday as our Grandaughter was still at school
