Countryphiles seeking a peaceful escape in the Lake District National Park need look no further than this farmhouse-style home in Great Langdale. There’s almost an acre of grounds here with a seating area to enjoy the views and a beck that has now been incorporated as a feature in the garden room. The Aga and wood-burning stove mean its always cosy, and when it’s sunny, take your pick from the endless rambling routes on the doorstep. It’s a short walk to Stickle Barn and New Dungeon Ghyll pubs, while Chapel Stile and Elterwater are easily reached by car.

Home truths:
*Due to the location of this home, we recommend having a car for ease of getting around. Parking is available on the premises.
*Please note, if you’re staying with little ones, there’s a shallow but unfenced stream that runs through the garden.
*We recommend stocking up on provisions before you arrive – there’s a Sainsbury’s Local in Windermere.
