Ullswater is thought by many to be the most beautiful of the all the lakes and if so, Low Longthwaite Farm has possibly one of the finest outlooks of lake and mountain in the northern lakes area. Set above the western shores of Ullswater, your view is filled by nearby meadow, a shimmering glint of water with a backdrop of fell and mountain, where the mood and atmosphere, colour and hue change with the time of year.

The farm house offers the perfect location for family holidays in the northern Lake District,  being 7 miles into the National Park from Penrith, yet is off the tourist trail offering true peace and seclusion.

A half mile from the shores of Ullswater, you can have plenty of fun in and on the water, walks onto high fell and mountain, with the perfect house to come home to relax and unwind after your day’s activity.

From the house, a delightful walk takes you through fell and woodland, with stunning views out over Ullswater, to Aira Force, probably the most famous of the Lake District waterfalls. The main force falls some 70ft below a stone footbridge - so don't forget your camera.

To the southern end of the lake, 6 miles away, are the villages of Glenridding and Patterdale from which to explore Grisedale and Helvellyn. At the northern end, 3 miles away, is Pooley Bridge with its pier for the famous Ullswater Steamers. All have local shops and some fine inns to enjoy a meal out.

Low Longthwaite Farm

Low Longthwaite Farm, a 16th century detached farm house and barn, has been completely refurbished to offer guests a super house, set in the very heart of the Lake District. Views and a quality that has been recognised by Visit England with the Gold Award makes this farmhouse perfect for your lakeland holiday. Approached by a private drive, the house sits in the fell above Ullswater, looking out over to the lake and mountains.

From the front entrance you step into a spacious sitting room, with plump sofas set around a roaring log burning stove, adding that extra touch of warmth and ambience in winter. Come summer, light floods in through large windows, where the view is filled by lake and mountain.

Adjoining the sitting room is a dining area with a fine table, perfect for lazy lunches and long suppers well into the night.

There is a small snug with sofa bed and arm chair. This can be used for *occasional guests, or may be just the ticket as the childrens den.

The kitchen is large, well equipped, with a breakfast table for six. Off the kitchen is a scullery with laundry facilities, a good storage area for boots and bits and, to the rear, the downstairs shower room with shower, basin and WC.

A fine, wide, winding staircase leads to the upper landing and the four bedrooms. Choose between two delightful doubles, one with en-suite shower, these along with two twin bedded rooms. Finally upstairs is the master bathroom, well equipped with bath, large shower cubicle, basin and WC.

Outside the grounds surround the house and *barn. Across the private drive is a walled, meadow garden where the sun shines down all day and the view is perfect. To the rear of the house is a large graveled parking area.

For me the owners have provided the one of our best farm houses, both to simply just relax and holiday at, and as a base for exploring the magnificent countryside, lake and villages. Whether you come for holidays with family and friends, or are gathering for reunion or celebration, I am sure Low Longthwaite Farm will please, leaving you with many happy memories of your stay.
