Longthwaite Farmhouse, is a Grade II listed traditional seventeenth century self-catering home available to rent in rural Borrowdale. Many of the original 17th C. interior features are retained and restored making for a rich and fascinating glimpse into past lives.

Nestling in the beautiful rural Borrowdale valley, at the heart of the Lake District in a quiet location, the front windows look out towards Watendlath Fell and the garden runs down to the River Derwent.

The house sleeps 9 in 4 bedrooms with parking for up to 4 cars.

The house’s unique location makes it a perfect base for walkers and climbers as it offers immediate access by foot to the best loved Lakeland peaks, Scafell, Great Gable, the Langdale Pikes and Buttermere Fells. Great on and off road cycling routes and access to both rowing & sailing on nearby Derwentwater ensures that there is something for everyone. Its riverside location offers endless paddling and dam-building opportunities for children (and adults) and many species of birds to spot.
