About this property

Selside 1.6 miles. Longwell House is a beautifully situated two bedroom semi-detached cottage that is both modern yet calm and cosy, like a great cottage should be. Every room in the property has big windows that allow guests the chance to take in the picturesque landscape during their whole stay here. On the ground floor, after you walk in, guests are met with a very large and modern kitchen and dining area that is complete with everything needed to cook big family meals, and do so in front of the electric stove. After a long day exploring the surrounding hills, you can relax in the sitting room on one of the sofas, watch some television and enjoy the wood burning stove. Up the impressive staircase are the two comfortable king-size double bedrooms one with an en-suite bathroom and the other with an en-suite shower room, meaning all guests can stay here in comfort. Outside of the property is an enclosed lawned garden along with a small patio area for relaxing if the weather is nice. Beyond that are rolling green hills that make the countryside a pleasure to gaze out at. The nearest town to the property is Kendal in Cumbria, where guests can find shops, pubs, restaurants and all the other amenities you may need. Due to the nature of the area, guests are usually keen to take long walks to soak up the natural beauty or visit the abundance of historical museums, churches and castles that are dotted around the region. With room for four people, this loveable cottage is perfect for families and groups of friends who want to escape to the country in typical cottage fashion, but have all the modern amenities from home. Longwell House is the perfect holiday home for a family break or a larger celebration when booked with Longwell Cottage. Note: This property is next to Ref. 30676, together they sleep 10.

    The property was wonderful and really well kept. We really enjoyed staying on the farm and the owners were so friendly. Was wonderful seeing the sheep and sheepdogs in action too! Would recommend Longwell house to all!

  • Stuart

    We're definitely going back. The cottage was spotless we couldn't find fault in it. Christine and Alan were superb hosts and extremely friendly. Even allowed us to watch the sheep shearing. Such a quiet location but the Lakes and Yorkshire dales were within 30 mins. Perfect for our hiking holiday.

    We received a warm welcome and the welcome basket was really nice too.
