1 bedroom Cottage near Penrith, Westmorland and Furness, England

A charming barn conversion enveloped by lush rolling hills in a wonderfully secluded location beneath Carrock Fell, this romantic hideaway is perfect for a couple. Strap on the hiking boots and amble through the corries of Bannerdale Crags to soak in inspiring views at the summit, before unwinding in the leafy shared garden with some al fresco nibbles and drinks.

This first-floor studio apartment boasts original craftsmanship features and stylish interior touches with earthy wooden and stone textures throughout. Ascend the stone steps to the apartment entrance where you can kick off muddy shoes and store outdoor gear. Crack open a bottle then whip up some treats in the kitchen overlooking the garden, before settling in for an intimate meal for two. Step down into the studio-style lounge/bedroom with a high-vaulted beamed ceiling and exposed stonework wall. Sink onto the sofa and plan your up-and-coming adventures with an evening tipple. Retreat to the double bed for some rest then enjoy a lazy breakfast in bed. Take advantage of the tranquil shared gardens and perch with your morning coffee at the picnic bench.
