The property

Low Fold Cottage is a charming reverse-level retreat set in the picturesque village of Orton, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and right on the edge of the Lake District.

With a warming electric fire for winter nights, this delightful cottage is perfect for families or friends seeking a tranquil escape.

Upon entering this abode, head upstairs and you will be greeted by a spacious open-plan area, thoughtfully laid out to include a kitchen, dining room, and sitting room all in one space!

The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you need to prepare delicious meals, which can be enjoyed at the dining table, offering seating for all guests.

Later on, the sitting area will invite you to unwind in peace with your feet up, the electric fire on and enjoy an evening in front of the Smart TV with all your favourite films and shows.

Outside, there is a front garden area featuring a well-maintained lawn and a patio area with furniture.

This is the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, whilst soaking up the tranquil surroundings of this delightful Yorkshire Dales location.

When it's time to rest, choose from two inviting ground floor bedrooms; a king-size and a twin, both tastefully decorated to ensure a serene night's sleep.

The property also benefits from a contemporary bathroom, complete with a bath and overhead shower, providing a refreshing space to freshen up each morning and to unwind in the evenings.

Just a stone’s throw from Low Fold Cottage, is Riverside Golf Club where any golf enthusiasts can go to keep their practice up even while on holiday!

Immerse yourself in the rich history of the area as you explore the fascinating ruins of Shap Abbey and Appleby Castle with its magnificent keep and fortifications.

Venture further afield and uncover the striking beauty of Cautley Spout, England's highest above ground waterfall, and Rutter Force, a hidden gem of the Eden Valley with its own circular mill pool.

Take a leisurely stroll to the Smardale Gill Viaduct, an imposing Victorian structure set amidst mesmerising countryside vistas, and the intimate and serene National Trust owned Keld Chapel, a simple building with a complex history.

Wherever your Cumbrian adventures take you, Low Fold Cottage is a wonderfully inviting base to come back to, time and again.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £250.

About the location

ORTON

Kendal 12 miles; Penrith 12 miles; Kirkby Stephen 12 miles; Keswick 25 miles.

The charming old village of Orton sits in a secluded position where the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales meets the eastern fringe of the Lake District National Park. Along with its better-known neighbours of Kendal, Sedbergh and Appleby-in-Westmorland, the area is surrounded by lovely rolling countryside and beautiful scenery. Above the village sits Orton Scar, a limestone hill, used in days gone by to warn the village of Scottish raiders and popular today with walkers. The village centre has an imposing 16th century church, local pub serving good food, a Post Office/shop and the famous handmade chocolate shop and tea room. A lovely village green surrounded by 17th and 18th Century cottages adds to its charm and there is a farmers’ market in the village square on the second Saturday of every month. Take a short drive and discover the unspoilt lake of Haweswater, or take advantage of the excellent road links to the Lake District, the Eden Valley and the rest of the Yorkshire Dales.
