Orchard House

Overview

England’s Last Wilderness stretches before you as you enjoy yet another glorious soak in your hot tub. Scenic peace and quiet in rural Cumbria, all yours to explore and relax in. All-day long.

Your Eden

The sandstone glitters invitingly on the façade as you draw up to your delightfully converted farm cottage. Before you step inside, take a little moment to savour the views... Castle Carrock Reservoir, Eden Valley and the Lake District on the horizon. Welcome to the backdrop to your holiday.

Once inside your cosy cottage, it’s all about enjoying those views in comfort. They take up a whole wall in the open plan ground floor where bi-folding doors bring the scenery inside for full enjoyment. Sink back into one of the plush black leather sofas while you gaze at the green beyond. A wood stove provides extra warmth for any sense Cumbrian chill. Better still, soak in the hot tub, perfectly placed on your glass-enclosed terrace for maximum vantage point as you enjoy this quintessentially English scenery.

Flow-through into your uber elegant dining room, again in plush black that contrasts to perfection with the warm wood floors. You’ll have noticed the tasteful gold and amber accents in the décor throughout. Nothing’s a chore in your fully equipped kitchen in subtle greys and pine.

And then outside to explore those views. For outdoorsy types, Orchard Cottage takes location to a whole new level. You’ll literally find paradise on your doorstep because it sits in Eden Valley, something of a hidden gem when it comes to walking, mountain biking and horse riding.

Golfers have one of the best clubs in the area just down the road while watersports lovers can canoe, sail or fish on the reservoir. For an extra treat, enjoy your complimentary access to the leisure club nearby. And then it’s back to those views and that big decision: where best to contemplate them: hot tub or sofa?

Bedrooms and bathrooms

Orchard Cottage has three bedrooms, all on the first floor: one super king with en suite bathroom, another super king and one king plus family bathroom. A handy cloakroom completes the accommodation.
