Is their a long or short vowel word?

It is neither, because of the R. The EI pair creates a long A otherwise.

These types of long A sounds are called caret A because they have an AY+R (air) sound. They include words such as care, bear, fair, and where.

In US English, it is not very different from the long A sound.
