Take a trip to Hawkshead, Cumbria. This 1930s bungalow would be a great spot for a couples’ trip or a small family and their dogs. You’ll be surrounded by beautiful countryside and within 500 metres of a lake, so this a real paradise for anyone who loves the great outdoors.

Enter the property to find yourself in a comfortable lounge with a wood burner. It’s a nice area to stop and relax when you arrive or at the end of an exciting day out. Continue through the conservatory – and stop to admire the beautiful views – and you’ll be in the gleaming modern kitchen/diner. There’s everything you could need to cook up tasty meals or pack picnics, plus there’s a coffee machine so you can start your day with a delicious drink. To one side, you’ll see a utility room with facilities for laundry. This bungalow has two bedrooms, one double and one flexible room which can either be made up of twin beds or a super-king-size bed. The latter has an en-suite shower room, and there’s also a family bathroom. You’ll have two gardens: an enclosed rear garden, and a front lawn where children and dogs can play.

There are plenty of activities around to appeal to all. You’ll be 500 metres from Esthwaite Water, so it’s easy to pop down there for an evening stroll with the dogs. On rainy days, amble 0.5 miles to Hawkshead to visit the Beatrix Potter Gallery, a National Trust exhibition with some original prints of her beloved characters. If you like spooky stories, go to Wray Castle, 3.5 miles away, a neo-Gothic building with tours, a cafe and a play area. Finish your holiday by going to Tarn Hows, 3 miles away.
