One Long Houses

A boutique luxury English Lake District longhouse to rent for 12 (max 8 adults). Open fire +2 woodbu Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

We want to live here one day but in the meantime will be welcoming holiday guests to this family home in a beautiful valley. We renovated the house over 2 years using a local conservation architect and were delighted to win an award as a result. The thriving village of Staveley is a short drive (or 70 minute walk) away, where there are shops, the Hawkshead brewery, and the rather good Eagle & Chil

d pub. The Lake District towns of Kendal, Windermere and Ambleside are close at hand. And from the doorstep are numerous walks in the Kentmere valley to suit every level of ambition. See our website for full details of the house, local activities, and booking information.

What they call a “proper dump” Saturday. Absolute chaos. We had to rescue a car full of guests whose satnav had taken off the main road jam into a small snowy lane where they had to abandon the car. Kentmere residents email remained stoic as the farmers snowploughed up and down the valley (thanks🚜) merely reminding everyone of next week’s coffee morning ☕️. British spirit!

Lots of lambs and even more bees! Lambing is coming to an end in Kentmere. Around the fields the blackthorn hedges are flowering and everywhere you go there is a background hum of thousands of bees.

Our Story

1 Long Houses is a classic Lake District long-house farmhouse dating from the 1700’s. We poured a lot of effort and love into its restoration and extension over 2016 and 2017. You can follow the ‘grand design’ on our Facebook timeline.

We want to live here one day but in the meantime are welcoming holiday guests to this family home in the beautiful secluded Kentmere valley. There are numerous walks, runs and bike rides right from the door. Inside there’s lots of living space, and the plate glass dining room makes it feel as though you are sitting on the fell side.

The thriving village of Staveley is a short drive (or 70 minute walk!) away, where there are shops, the Hawkshead brewery, and the rather good Eagle & Child pub. The Lake District towns of Kendal, Windermere and Ambleside are close at hand.
