Magical place, a pure heaven with absolutely no sound except for the river and the sheep. I am a woman travelling alone and I felt very safe staying there. Two things to know before going though: absolutely no service (go to Buttermere village for that) + the road that goes through Low Lorton is way easier than the other one, which is quite narrow and very steep. If you are easily scared when driving I would not recommend taking it esp. if it’s raining
