No sirens, no fires- just one of the most unusual staycation accomodation around.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a firefighter, but didn't fancy risking your life or battling a blaze, now is your chance to live like a firefighter without any of those risks.
Fun for all the family, this fire truck staycation comes equipped with everything you need to live out those firefighter dreams. The holiday cottages come so readily equipped with children's firefighter costumes and hosepipe, fire engine beds, a sauna and even a firefighter's pole?
Inside, guests will find all those character details in addition to practical furnishings like a comfortable sofa that converts into a double bed, huge bean bags next to the SMART TV, as well as a dining area with views over the satio and ample seating for the whole family.
Guests will pass the sauna room before leading themselves downstairs to the children's bedroom, complete with creative fire engine bedsteads and sleeping bags suitable for those aged 12 and under.
Head up the ladder and you'll find the master bedroom with a king-size bed, TV, dressing table and a lockable fireman's pole.
The quirky former fire truck is clearly uniquely equipped for a truly memorable family escape but you'll find plenty to do in the surrounding areas too.
Located on a working beef and sheep farm, the staycation is based deep in the Lake District National Park. More specifically, it's positioned directly at the southern foot fells of the magnificent Blencathra, one of the most impressive fells in the Northern Lakes.
Those staying in the big red truck won't have to travel far for creature comforts either as the staycation is close to the pretty village of Threlkeld, home to two popular pubs, serving local dishes and ales., as well as being just five miles from the market town of Keswick.
There's a gothic hall in the heart of the Peak District where you can enjoy a staycation with a difference - because it's completely TV-free.
Get ready to cosy up by the fire while soaking up everything this screen-free property in the Peak District has to offer.
This two bedroom, three bed gothic hall looks out onto some stunning views through its unique framed windows.
If you're up for a stroll, this staycation has many popular walking routes to the unique village of King Sterndale, Cheedale Stepping Stones and more.

Only 10 minutes from Buxton and 15 minutes from Bakewell, this historic property is the perfect location for anyone wanting to explore more of Yorkshire.
Pictor Hall has a gorgeous landscape that can be enjoyed simply by opening the front door with an abundance of foliage and greenery surrounding the property.
And if you're still worried about the idea of being stuck without a TV, the Airbnb host has noted that the property has a variety of board games, books and free wifi.
Although, with Pictor Hall dating back to the 1700's, you'll probably spend a considerable amount of time gawking at all the impressive features and characteristics throughout.
