About This 5-Bedroom Group Longhouse

This 5-bedroom group longhouse is a large self-catering property in Coverdale, one of the quieter dales in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The longhouse layout keeps the whole group together, which makes it ideal for family gatherings, milestone birthdays or friends' reunions.
