Swinside
Description
Keswick 7 miles and Cockermouth 5 miles. Enjoying expansive, countryside views, overlooking the Lake District National Park is Swinside, a lovely, two-bedroom lodge, set on the outskirts of High Lorton inbetween Cockermouth and Keswick.
Enveloped by rural vistas and nature-filled walking trails, Swinside offers a well-equipped base for a self-catered break to the Lakes, inviting four guests and two furry companions.
Park up off-road and take in the stillness of your surroundings. Climb the external steps to head into your new lodgings, firstly reaching the open-plan living space, the heart of the home; use this space to prepare meals, dine as a four, and unwind with the electric fire alight.
When the weather allows, be sure to take advantage of the decked veranda, designed for an alfresco affair with hillside views in the backdrop.
As day turns into night, catch some rest from the well-appointed bedrooms, including a king-size with en-suite cloakroom, and a twin, awakening to a refreshing shower in the compact shower room.
Don your walking boots to explore this delightful region, all starting from Swinside.
Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1133603, together sleeping up to 8 guests.

What guests are saying
Very friendly and immediate attention given to a problem.
Exceptional views and lovely walks around the area. Nice to see the trout in the lake,the dragonflies,bats and ducks. Very quiet location but easy access to whinlatter and Buttermere. Cockermouth a couple of miles away with good supermarkets. Mattresses and duvets need upgrading.
This was a perfect place for us - we don't like busy places with lots of people.
This is 2 caravans on a working farm. Peaceful. Well maintained. Has everything you need. Great quiet location. Near to Whinlatter Forest which is great. We also did Scafell from here and Catbells and other fells. Keswick is nearby. You need to drive everywhere but it suited us perfectly. Caravan was clean and has everything we needed. Bed was comfy (a little hard...) Enough equipment in the kitchen to cook. Really enjoyed our stay here and would thoroughly recommend it. We will definitely return. Views from the caravan are beautiful. Only thing was there was loads of flies - probably because it's a farm. Take fly spray. There's Sainsbury's and Lidl about ten mins drive away. Fab place. Highly recommended.
All in all a great stay.
Beautiful location and the accommodation was spotlessly clean. Could do with a bread knife (we struggled to find anything to cut bread!), a couple more small plates and perhaps some hooks or rails to hang damp towels. The two beds in the small twin room had very noticeable springs just beneath the surface which our girls were not keen on. I'm sure these details can be resolved fairly easily though. The owner was very friendly and offered us the use of an outbuilding to store our motorbikes which we had brought on a trailer. Very good of him. Definitely recommend despite my minor moans!
