Overlooking a farm, this two-storey retreat puts you right in the heart of the countryside, making you ideally located for exploring. The underfloor heating and wood-burning stove create a welcoming home to return to after a day of rambling, and we love that each room has its own ensuite – perfect for coordinated efforts to get outside promptly in the mornings. The interior is homely, if unspectacular, but the terrace with a hot tub and barbeque is a great touch. You'll never be bored here, either, with the host able to arrange all manner of fun activities, ranging from highly active (think axe throwing) to the downright indulgent (afternoon tea, anyone?).

Local guide
About The Lake District
Poets and novelists have often escaped to the Lake District for a spot of inspiration. Famously, Wordsworth pondered about daffodils and clouds during his time here. The undulating hills are tracked with drystone walls while sheep graze, and farmsteads enjoy untouched beauty for miles around. England’s biggest lake, Windermere, cuts through a valley, sleek as glass and hosts a litany of cosy-pub-filled towns and water sports venues along its shores....
