Orchard Gate

Orchard Gate is a single-bedroom cottage on a rural property in Cumberland, sleeping two people with one well-behaved dog welcome. You arrive to an open-plan space combining lounge, kitchen and dining area—the kitchen has what you need for self-catering, including a hob, microwave, fridge and toaster. A woodburning stove provides warmth on cooler evenings. The bedroom and bathroom are compact but complete. Everything essential—bed linen, towels, electricity and wifi—is included. The property is non-smoking.

Outside, a private patio area comes with a hot tub; note that it is drained and cleaned between guests so may take time to reach full temperature on your first day. There is parking for one car. The cottage sits among the grounds of the owners' mill house, with the Carwinley Beck running through the gardens. Country roads nearby are quiet and suitable for walking. The rural location means you have space and privacy to unwind, though attractions and scenery across the wider area are within reach when you want them.
