Long House Cottages are situated in the beautiful Great Langdale valley in the heart of the Lake District National Park. Enjoying a stunning location near the foot of the Langdale Pikes, the cottages stand in a beautiful south facing terraced garden, which has superb mountain views of the head of the valley. A further natural fell garden is a riot of daffodils and bluebells in the spring. There are four cottages sleeping from two to six people.
The Great Langdale valley contains the two small villages of Elterwater and Chapel Stile, originating around the old gunpowder works and slate quarry. Together with the small lake of Elterwater, the Great Langdale Beck, Skelwith Falls and the high surrounding fells, Langdale offers some of the most interesting and varied walking country in the English Lakes. For the motorist we are central to the whole of Cumbria, and Langdale provides one of the shortest routes to the unspoilt Eskdale and Wasdale valleys - over the Wrynose and Hardknott Passes!
