Description from the manager

A delightful recently renovated cottage situated in the beautiful Vale of Lorton, with log burning stove housed in an Inglenook fire place. A marvelous base from which to explore the Lake District. Ideal for groups of walkers or families who may wish to use the rainbow trout fishing facilities which the owners provide free of charge.

The village of High Lorton nestles at the foot of Whinlatter Pass within the Buttermere and Lorton Valley, a beautiful and much less frequented area of the National Park yet only a short drive from the bustling market town of Keswick. Crummock Water, Loweswater, Buttermere and Ennerdale are very easily acce...Read more

      A great retreat in one of the Lake District's quieter areas

      Left on 05/24/2013 for a stay in April 2013

      Four men of a certain age who in Last of the Summer Wine style, walk, eat, drink and talk about anything and everything. All good cooks and whisky/wine lovers. All we need each year is good walking, any weather and a decent cottage to do our thing. We got this at Scales Cottage, with a good sized kitchen/diner for our culinary efforts, comfortable bedrooms and a fine lounge. All very clean and set in lovely location.

      Warm, friendly & secluded

      Left on 11/19/2012 for a stay in November 2012

      The description advertised is exactly what you get. Considering that we rented in winter, the cottage was very well heated/insulated. The owners supplied logs for the wood burner.
      The excellent sound insulation is worthy of note too.
      With 4 adults and 3 dogs (Staffy & 2 Boxers) we had plenty of space. The slate floors and boot room made the post walk clear up easy too. Animal lovers need to be aware that there are cattle, sheep and chickens near-by.
      One of us has walking disabilities but the cottage layout worked well. Roughly 8 steps to get to the front door (cleary shown in photos) and then did not need to move from the ground floor. Though not suitable for wheelchairs due to the steps).
      One plus for us, but probably a downside for it buffs, was the poor mobile reception inside the house.
      Two of our party took advantage of the trout fishing on a wet and windy day. thoroughly enjoying the experience.
      The best recommendation is that we looked to book again, next year. Sadly the date wanted had already been booked.

      Lovely stay in cosy cottage with great views

      Left on 09/17/2012 for a stay in August 2012

      The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable. We particularly liked the kitchen with the wood burner, and the large lounge upstairs. Very dog friendly downstairs with tiled flooring, and enclosed garden outside. Enjoyed our morning walks around the fishing lake as well. Peaceful location, but close enough to Cockermouth and Keswick, Loweswater and Buttermere. Washing machine and tumble dryer were a bonus as we did have a muddy mountain bike ride. We would definitely go back again.

      Lovely property

      Left on 11/10/2011 for a stay in September 2011

      The property is in a very quiet location on a working farm. The owners live nearby and were very welcoming. The property is very well equiped and the 2 main bedrooms were large and comfortable which suited our party of 4 adults and 1 baby perfectly. Many of the Lake District attractions were within a 30 minute drive and the pub in the village served excellent food.

      Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous location

      Left on 08/22/2011 for a stay in July 2011

      Scales cottage was gorgeous. The owners could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The cottage was well equiped to cope with our party of 4 adults and one toddler.There were a couple of small fishing lakes nearby and we spent enjoyable evenings sitting by them and our dogs were allowed to swim in them. It was an absolutely blissful week and we shall definately be going back.
