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. This gorgeous property is perfect for families looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy a rural retreat close to the Lake District National Park. Sleeping up to six guests, visitors can experience fun walking adventures, wild swimming in majestic open water and trips to historical landmarks within moments of the doorstep.

Take off your walking boots and head straight into the living room of this welcoming property where the wood burner awaits. Light a fire and feel the warmth from the flickering flames as you and your group catch up about the day’s activities.

Weve been to the lakes a few times now but this was right at the top of favourite places to stay. Everything was perfect, from the beautiful modern layout, decor and consideration into what guests may need such as the lovely welcome hamper.

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.
