Perfect for romantic escapes with spectacular fell views that'll make your Instagram followers weep with envy. The farm's been run by the same family since 1954 - they've had plenty of time to perfect their hospitality!

The Lake District location is bloody brilliant. You're surrounded by incredible walking routes including St Sunday Crag and Brothers Water within 6 miles. Fancy a boat trip? Ullswater lake is less than 2 miles away for cruises, picnics and messing about on the water. Stargazing opportunities are phenomenal - especially with a glass of something strong in hand by the fire pit.

The hut itself has a clever open-plan layout with a raised double bed, Smart TV and compact kitchen with all essentials. There's electric heating to keep things toasty when the weather does its typical Lake District thing. Your own private hot tub awaits outside - nothing beats soaking while gazing at those magnificent fells after a day's hiking.

Visit Aira Force Waterfall (5 miles) or explore historic Lowther Castle (15 miles). After dark, Hares Nook transforms into the perfect love nest - just don't get too noisy, the sheep might complain!
