Located in the pretty, rural village of Hackthorpe, this newly-built three-bedroom bungalow enjoys wonderful views of the North Pennines with easy access to the Lake District National Park.

Breathe in the fresh Cumbrian countryside air when you stay at this pristine, newly built bungalow.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Snugalow. The owners have really thought of everything, it was lovely accommodation - clean, well-equipped and comfortable. The pool table/table tennis was a big hit with our son! A nice big enclosed garden which was perfect for our dog. The location was great, pretty views and lots to do locally, Lowther CastlRead moree is just 5 minutes by car. We could reach most areas of the lakes we wanted to visit in under an hour too. Amazing place! Hide

A very comfortable and beautifully furnished property. The garden is fully enclosed so great for dogs. Be aware that there is a huge music festival (Kendal Calling) at the end of July near the property which means driving anywhere is very difficult because of the volume of traffic. Great if you want to go to the festival as you can walk.
