About Middle Longlands

Middle Longlands is a luxurious glamping pod located near Cartmel in Cumbria. This cosy retreat offers stunning countryside views and sits just over a mile from the picturesque village of Cartmel. The pod features a studio-style layout with everything you need for a relaxing break, including a proper king-size bed (none of that fold-down nonsense).

Set in beautiful farmland with spectacular views across the countryside, Middle Longlands gives you the best of both worlds. You're close enough to explore the Lake District's famous spots like Windermere (just a short drive away), but far enough from the tourist crowds to actually hear yourself think. The private hot tub on your own deck is perfect for evening stargazing with a glass of something chilled. Who needs Netflix when you've got that view?

The pod itself is surprisingly spacious with a comfortable king-size bed, fully-equipped kitchen area and a modern shower room. The cosy wood-burning stove keeps things toasty on cooler evenings, though there's central heating too if you can't be bothered with logs. Little extras like bathrobes, complimentary Prosecco and sticky toffee pudding make you feel properly spoiled.

Cartmel village (1.1 miles away, 5-minute drive) is famous for its sticky toffee pudding and has several excellent pubs and shops. Lake Windermere is just 5 minutes from the pod, while Holker Hall (3 miles, 10-minute drive) offers beautiful gardens to explore. Grange-Over-Sands (4 miles, 15 minutes) provides lovely coastal walks and independent shops.

Middle Longlands is strictly adults-only, making it ideal for couples seeking quality time together. After a day exploring, soak in that hot tub under the stars before curling up by the fire. Pure bliss.

Middle Longlands Reviews

Kirstie
Thank you for a fabulous stay
Dinithi
We had a lovely stay, with a beautiful view, in such a peaceful location. Would definitely recommend and would visit again!
Fantastic pod in the most beautiful setting. So pieceful and very homely with the lovely log fire. There is central heating so log burner not really needed but so lovely to have on in the winter nights. Pod was bigger than expected and plenty space for 2 people. The little welcome treat of a beer, little bottle of prosecco, milk and sticky toffee pudding was lovely. Tea, coffee and sugar all available. The hot tub and terrace are great and very spacious. The host was nice and very welcoming. We highly recommend and will certainly be back. Cartmel village is only about 1 mile away and only 5 mins away from windermere lake.
What a wonderful stay we had at Middle Longlands! We had a lovely welcome by Louise, the owner on arrival and the lodge was impeccably clean with lots of little touches, like milk, prosecco and beer in the fridge. Having a small kitchenette was also really helpful too! The log fire was very cosy and it was lovely to have a basket full of logs and fire starters too. The hot tub was amazing. At night, we would turn out the outside lights and look up to enjoy the stars on a clear night. It was perfect. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
Great place great accommodation
Absolutely brilliant! Wouldnt change a thing was perfect. Only thing I would comment on is bathroom door lock didnt work but it didnt matter at all still 5 stars!

Stephanie
Stunning property, very clean and tidy, got everything you need! We were surprised by the size, it was bigger than we originally thought! The owner is lovely and only a phone call away. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway I couldnt recommend anything or anywhere else!
We had the most amazing stay this weekend staying in the Middle lodge. It was absolutely spotless and surprisingly bigger than on the pictures. Couldnt recommend this place anymore and will definitely be returning. If youre looking for a log cabin in the Lake District, this is the place to go.
Geoffrey
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Middle Longlands. It was great to chill out in the hot tub most days and cook on the bbq a couple of nights. Only about a 25 minute walk into the delightful vibrant village of Cartmel with its many lovely shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. I am sure we will be back!
Very relaxing, quite and peaceful. Great views and a central location.
We had a excellent stay here could not fault it the pod had everything you needed the hot tub was lovely and warm the view was out of this world would recommend this pod to anyone who wants a relaxing time cartmel village was lovely with pub food and cafes and shops we just got back home and we want to go back again big thanks to Louise for looking after us .
Sophie
Had a really lovely time staying here! The place is so relaxing and the hot tub is just bliss after a long walk. Really enjoyed our break away here, such a beautiful place! Thank you Louise!
Elisha
We had such an amazing week away. Just what we needed. So relaxing. However, there were a couple of problems with the hot tub. It did take awhile to heat up, and also little bits of plastic kept coming out of the jets. I do appreciate that it seemed homemade and it was wonderful apart from that.
We had an excellent stay and thoroughly enjoyed the cosy feel of the lovely decorated lodge. It was a perfect getaway and tbe location was great
We had a great stay at Middle Longlands. Louise was a brilliant host really friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It's an ideal location for walks and the cabin itself is really peaceful. We had a wonderful stay and can't wait to come back.
This was the most amazing place to stay & would recommend it 100 to anyone seeking a beautiful spot for respite & peace. The host was so accommodating & lovely. No query was too much trouble thank you!!
Beautiful place to stay, very friendly and helpful. Information left inside for places to visit and nearby take aways. Very clean and everything you need inside. Would definitely recommend to others.
We had a great few days, lovely location for biking and not too far from the high fells for walking. Cartmel village is just a short walk for good pubs.
Richard
Very impressed with the cleanliness and overall condition of the property, felt like it was brand new and we were the first people to stay there. Settled in straight away, well stocked with everything we needed, everything worked as expected and was super cosy, felt like a home from home apart from the shower there was.better than the shower at my real home! Lovely views from the cabin and we lucked out with the weather, so enjoyed sitting out on the deckin the hot tub in the sun. Definitely recommended!!
Lovely property and holiday Could do with a vacuum to hand . And towel change half way through week holiday . No instructions given on hob
Maurice
This is a lovely pod to stay in I would recommend this holiday stay to anyone, where its situated its beautiful the host is very friendly, and if you like no noise and privacy. ., this is the one for you .. and also the hottub is quite different, and unusual best holiday im Britain Ive ever had. A. Guyatt
Our stay was amazing, we absolutely loved everything about it. The beautiful views, hot tub amazing, clean and tidy, beautiful lodges. Louise was great and friendly, we loved having a chat! Would absolutely come back again. Also, Trev the taxi driver was great, if you stay he is fantastic to help get you around if youre going into Cartmel etc. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Joseph
We had a brilliant week staying at Middle Longlands. The location is perfect for exploring the Lake District and far enough away for some lovely early morning and evening peace and quiet. Louise was great and very attentive. The pod was great. Well equipped and very clean and well looked after. Glass of wine on the decking with a dip in the hot tub afterwards followed by a relaxing log fire was the perfect end to great days out. We didnt want to leave and will be back for sure.
Christine
Absolutely stunning part of England, gorgeous view from pod, very comfortable with added extra of hot tub to relax and chill at the end of an excellent day's fishing and walking. Close to the Lakes and premier shop minutes drive away to Cartmel, home of sticky toffee pudding an absolute must. We will definitely be booking another stay in the not too distant future. Highly recommended. 1010
Well looked after pods with lots of lovely little local touches. Great views from the hot tub and the BBQ was excellent. Hosts very friendly.
We had the most incredible stay at Middle Longlands it truly turned into a home from home for the week. The pod was exceptionally clean and had everything we could have needed for a comfortable stay. The location was brilliant being just a short drive from Windermere, Ambleside, Grasmere etc but quiet and away from the summer bustle of the Lake District, and Cartmel is a lovely little town full of nice pubs and coffee shops. Loads to do and explore, but also it was so nice to come back to a cosy pod, fire up the BBQ and relax in the hot tub after a busy day. Would definitely recommend, and will certainly be making a return trip, thank you!
Really enjoyed our stay. Location amazing and reassuring to have the owners nearby. Lovely little touches to the stay, like the milk in fridge etc. Definitely will rebook
Gorgeous place with beautiful surroundings. Just a mile from the village of Carmel, which is surprisingly lively for such a small place. Great food and live music in the square. Highly recommended for anyone wanting total relaxation, with access to scenic walks and lovely pubs and restaurants near by
Darren
Fantastic place, amazing views, relaxing and would fully recommend
Kayleigh
I would highly recommend these cabins, we stayed for 4 nights in the Middle Longlands cabin with a hot tub and BBQ on the decking area. The inside is clean, cosy and has everything you need from a little kitchen with fridge and freezer section, oven and hobs to make meals, fully stocked tea and coffee, biscuits alongside a complimentary bottle of Prosecco and a sticky toffee pudding. The location was perfect for us, 10 minute drive to Lake Windermere as we enjoy paddleboarding aswell as other lovely local walks and towns. Petrol station and local shop were a few minutes down the road. Louise was a fantastic host, left our keys and gate fob to come and go as we please, you park up next to the cabin you stay in and can contact Louise via message if needed or when she checks the hot tubs every morning. Overall very friendly and accommodating. Our only thing was the cabins can get quite hot when the weather is nice however the bifold doors were a gods send and I recommend closing all the blinds when you go out for the day. For colder days there is a log fire and blankets aswell as heating. The views are exceptional and very peaceful, would definitely stay again.
We stayed at middle long lands for our honeymoon and everything was perfect. It was very clean, had everything we needed, was in the perfect position and Louise was an amazing host. The location itself was fantastic, very private and secluded but within walking distance of Cartmel. Would definitely visit again
Louise the owner was very friendly and gave the impression that nothing was too much ch trouble. All the little finishing touches I. Drinks were n the fridge, biscuits etc made us feel welcome. The views from the photos d were amazing
