Dale House is a semi-detached early Victorian house resting in High Lorton, a quaint Lakeland village surrounded by spellbinding scenery from glistening lakes and magnificent mountain views to pretty Lakeland towns. Retaining many original features, including stained glass, a characterful open fire and Inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, this retreat is a charming base for families or travellers. The lounge oozes comfort and tradition, with books and collectables on display, creating somewhere pleasant to relax morning through to evening. Join the whole family for some quality time in the dining area, equally as impressive, with seating for eight people, a woodburning stove, and a piano to really set the scene. The kitchen brings a fresh feel to the cottage, with whitewashed units and a country overtone, neighboured by an equipped utility area. The next floor is a characterful haven, offering three different room styles, each boasting their own personality, with access to the modernised family bathroom. After a peaceful night's sleep, why not enjoy a moment or two on the delightful sunny patio, or tour the village, from which to explore the quiet and less frequented Vale of Lorton which includes Buttermere, Loweswater and Crummock. Also, Keswick is only 7 miles away. There is an abundance of walking opportunities directly from the door and close by Whinlatter Forest is home to a whole host of activities including Go-Ape tree top adventure on the Whinlatter Pass, mountain biking and orienteering to name just a few. There is no wonder that once discovered, holidaymakers choose to return to the area year after year.
Surrounded by the mountains such as Grasmoor, Hopegill Head and Whiteside, Lorton is a perfect destination for exploring a number of hill walks, and visitors are encouraged to visit the 12th century St. CuthbertÂ’s church. Lorton itself is relatively unspoilt by tourism and yet lies only approximately 4 miles away from Cockermouth.

Reviews
We found no faults with this cottage/house. The place was spotless and had such a warm feel to it. Cosy yet spacious (3 of us and 2 dogs), having a separate kitchen and dining room (with a piano!!) was really lovely. The location is gorgeous too and great for walks. The village shop is just down the road and there's a little public garden (by the village hall) which is a really nice place to sit and read. We were happy to find a Bluetooth speaker in the living room so we could play music and a Chromecast so that we could watch the football (well until it was canceled!) We'll definitely be back!
