Sleeps 6 in the Cumbria Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks.
This delightful, quirky cottage in the centre of Orton Village next to the local chocolate factory is a large, bright and welcoming family home from home with elements of contemporary style but packed with traditional features. The holiday home is situated in the picturesque village of Orton with a monthly farmers market, shop, pub, chocolate factory and café. The village lies between the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the Eden Valley, making it an ideal touring base. Wainwright’s ’Coast to Coast’ walk passes through the village, with numerous footpaths and cycle routes meandering through beautiful surrounding countryside. As Threeways is nearly three hundred years old, it is vulnerable to condensation. To look after both our guests and the house, you will find all the interior doors open to allow the movement of air until you arrive and have a dehumidifier built into the loft which recirculates dry air from a vent at the top of the stairs. It will be running all the time, but is very quiet, so is only noticeable in the hallway.

Beautiful cottage, well presented , spotlessly clean and well equipped. Lovely little village with amenities - very friendly locals. Lovely walks on the doorstep and a great base for exploring the area. Fab!
Had a great week stay for New Year , great cottage and all the facilities make it a home from home more or less.
Fantastic location got out and about everyday despite the weather.
Our family of five had a fantastic stay at this spacious house. It's perfectly located for exploring the region and the host is lovely. While the house does show its age and can be a bit humid in certain areas, we were lucky with the weather and found the house to be well-heated. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like the tea and biscuits, and the kids loved the selection of books. Overall, we recommend this property for a great family getaway!
We all enjoyed staying in your house. Our 6 year old twins had a great time. Everything we needed was there. Being able to go for walks without using a car was a bonus. What a friendly village! Let's not forget the delicious hot chocolates in the cafe nearby. Thank you.
Fantastic Cottage in a perfect location to travel to Lakes and Dales
6 of us, 4 humans and 2 labradors stayed at the Three Ways cottage in Orton for a week, we loved our stay. Beautiful and amazingly spacious cottage with so much space and homely comforts, our perfect home away from home. Will certainly come back again. The village of Orton is perfectly placed for travel to Lakes and Dales and the Tebay services have great local produce and cheapest fuel. We had a fantastic stay
Lovely cottage very spacious, housed a family of six and dogs very well. There was nothing we needed for cooking and washing. Great washer and dryer. The bedrooms are very spacious and very cosy. Towels provided and beds all made when we arrived. Lovely little village and loads of walks around the place and plenty of places to drive to within a short distance.
Only bugbear was the water heater and hot water, for the first day we had no hot water in the kitchen and en-suite, which rectified itself by the second day for the kitchen but not the en-suite, this stayed cold all week.
The accommodation was very spacious but cozy. Log burner was a real treat. The beds were very comfortable (better than home). Kitchen had everything we needed. Village is adorable. The pub was friendly and food was good. Walks right from the front door.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Orton. The village is small and quiet and conveniently nearby all the things we were planning to see. The house was comfortable and well stocked and our family enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again.
We had a lovely, relaxing break in this cottage between Christmas and New Year. It had everything we could want. The place was cosy and welcoming. The layout of the house was particularly good, with two showers, three toilets and two downstairs rooms as well as the kitchen, there was plenty of space for us all to chill out together and also have quieter spaces, not get in each others way, if needed (very helpful for teenagers and young adults!). Facilities such as wifi, netflix etc were also much appreciated. The pub, cafe and village shop were all only two mins away as well. All in all, we would highly recommend this place
THE PROPERTY WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED. VERY PLEASENT QUITE VILLAGE. VERY EASY COMMUNICATION WITH PROPERTY MANAGER WHO WAS MORE THAN WILLING TO HELP. ONLY MATTER THAT I WAS A BIT CONFUSED ABOUT WAS WHERE TO LEAVE RUBBISH, BUT PROPERTY MANAGER FILLED ME IN VERY QUICKLY WHAT TO DO. WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO COME AGAIN!
We had a lovely stay at Three Ways Cottage. It was clean, spacious and cool in the hot weather. Orton is a lovely friendly village with a good pub serving decent meals. The chocolate factory was a hit, especially the ice cream they serve. Location is within easy reach of Windermere and Consiton lakes and the Orton Scar walk from the village is well worth the effort. Many thanks.
Good location for exploring Cumbria, Yorkshire and beyond. Lovely village with pub and shop on the doorstep as well as a kids playground and lovely area to walk the dog.
Property was clean with everything we needed including dishwasher for those of us who are too lazy to wash the dishes by hand as well as a washing machine and tumble drier for when the 10 year old forgot to pack all his clothes (he insisted on doing his own packing).
Plenty of towels and bedding if needed and lovely little touches - coffee, tea and milk as well as shortbread to start you off when you arrive.
The only negative was the tricky hot water system which we struggled to work out.
Overall a lovely place to stay which I would definitely recommend.
