Double bedroom
The double bedroom is 'small but perfectly formed' and has a lovely view out over the Lorton valley.
Sitting/Dining Room
The cosy sitting/dining room is furnished with a large corner sofa, dining table, and a TV with DVD.There are also lots of books, maps, and games that you are welcome to use. The room looks north and east towards Scotland and the Lorton Fells. There are often sheep grazing immediately behind the cottage.
Log burner in sitting room
The sitting room has a log burner for those autumn, winter, and spring evenings - or anytime you want a little more warmth! To the right of the log burner is the door to the kitchen.
Kitchen
A door leads from the sitting room into the galley kitchen. The kitchen has recently been completely upgraded. It is well-equipped with an electric cooker, microwave, slow cooker, food processor, fridge, and all the pots, pans & utensils you could need. Additionally there are laundry facilities in the basement below the cottage, and a large chest freezer for guests to use, accessible from the exterior.
Bathroom next to bedroom
The bathroom next to the bedroom has been newly upgraded. It has a shower over the bath.
Patio
This is the view from the patio looking south east towards Whiteside - in winter.

The Garden
The garden is shared with the Farmhouse and High Swinside Cottage. It has a picnic table and benches for enjoying the view, hammocks under the trees, a pond with tadpoles, a tree house and camp fire circle, and gated access onto the open fells with wonderful walks right on your doorstep.
Dog friendly & path to Lorton village
The garden also has an enclosed area where dogs are free to roam safely. In the lower garden there are free range hens - and their eggs are usually available. Through another gate a green lane leads in 20 minutes to Lorton village with its excellent village shop. The friendly dog-welcoming Wheatsheaf pub is 10/15 minutes further on and serves a very generous menu (book ahead)!
Other Information
Little Swinside has central heating with radiators in all rooms. The water is heated by immersion heater (at night and by solar power when available in the day). There is extensive parking - including right next to the cottage for unloading.
