"Couldn't feel more at home! In beautiful countryside, Emma as owner couldn't be more supportive or helpful. If you're wanting flexibility, lovely character filled surroundings and a genuine home from home, you absolutely cannot go wrong" Rhona, past inmate

If you chose to muck in, there's a vegetable patch, an orchard (with fire pit), and free-range chickens.

“My stay at longthwaite house was nothing short of brilliant. It is truly a welcoming home with everything you could wish for in a home. While staying in the blue room, I knew I could come home from work and relax in the quietness of the bedroom or socialise with the other tenants by the fire which was always a welcome sight especially on winter days. The communal feel to longthwaite is something that I very much enjoyed being part of, we would often take turns in cooking a group meal and this was always a fun evening with a few drinks involved too. Emma once said to me that longthwaite was a place to recover and I wholeheartedly agree and part of my time in the house was spent recovering from a car accident. In that time I got to help out on the farm, do jobs within the house and be of any help to Emma that I could and it made me even more happy to be living there. It would definitely be my recommendation to anyone who lives there to get stuck in and not be afraid of getting your hands dirty! I will miss the views from the bedroom, the sheep (especially rupert) and the homely feel of what is truly an amazing place to live. I can't thank Emma enough for making me feel part of the longthwaite family and will always hold memories of my 18 months there highly.” Mark, recent inmate
