Description

Middlefell Farm is a picturesque and traditional stone built Lakeland hill farm, nestling quaintly under the Langdale Pikes at the head of the beautiful Langdale Valley. The farmstead, which was built at the turn of the 17th century, extends to some 260 acres in all with over one thousand Herdwick sheep and a mixed herd of beef cattle.

The atmosphere is idyllic with so many wonderful walks in the area, and the dramatic mountains all around. Great Langdale truly offers some of the finest mountain scenery in Lakeland, a 'must' for every visitor.

The cottage was created from part of the original farmhouse to provide a cosy and well-equipped cottage interior in this lovely old building with its low ceilings and doorways.

Accommodation: Ground floor sitting room (TV - reception variable, satellite TV) with electric fire. An open fire is available all year round if required (logs and coal provided). Well-equipped 'cottage style' fitted dining kitchen - fully equipped (electric cooker).

Upstairs there are two bedrooms - one double with wash basin and one twin - both with slightly sloping floors reflecting the great age of the cottage. Bathroom (walk-in shower, basin and wc). Fitted carpets and comfy cottage style furnishings with co-ordinated fabrics. The cottage is ideal for all year round use. Garden with garden furniture. Parking for 1 family car or 2 very small cars.

Outside: Garden with garden furniture. Ample parking. Well-stocked village shop and post office in Chapel Stile (3 miles). Short stroll to the nearest pub 'The Old Dungeon Ghyll', which serves both bar and restaurant meals. Other pubs nearby include 'The New Dungeon Ghyll' at the foot of the paths to Stickle Tarn, and 'Wainwrights' in Chapel Stile a little further down the valley.

Note: The property is fed by natural purified spring water. Sorry, no cot or high chair available.

Staying at Middle fell farm has been an absolute pleasure.

It's a very comfortable cottage with everything you need for your stay. If you love the Langdales and an authentic feel, you could not wish for better than a stay at this cottage at a working sheep. The farmer and his wife are great hosts if you meet them.... Incredibly busy hard working couple. The farm sits at the foot of the langdale pikes at the end of the langdale valley. The view from the cottage is spectacular. If it's a cold night, lighting the fire is an extra pleasure. Plenty of games and books if you want a cosy few hours. We were lucky to have good weather all week so eating outside at the table enjoying the wildlife was an added bonus. This place is so homely I didn't want to leave. I'll be booking again for my next holiday. Thanks again for making our family holiday so special.

We came to this lovely cottage with our 2 adult children.

Everything about our stay was wonderful.. the cottage and its amazing views, the swifts and swallows which we love even in London, the attention to detail and the ‘home from home ‘ feel. We recognised that the hosts have obviously put a lot of care into making the cottage such a lovely place to stay. We have been to the area before camping and love the valley. Being in the cottage added the extra comfort, we much appreciated being able to enjoy a little fire and feeling cooler after the heat wave back at home! The hosts were very friendly and even though we didn’t need them to help us with anything, we feel that they would have been more than happy to if we had done! Thank you for giving us the space we needed together as a family.. precious times in a very special place. We have vowed to come back again and we will certainly recommend it to family and friends!
