The incredible pad, named Red Alert Fire Truck, offers families a unique experience in the heart of the countryside near Blencathra, in the Lake District National Park. 

It boasts the comfort of cottage home-living, with the added thrill of some extraordinary features that you certainly won't find anywhere else. 

Prices start from £399 for one week.

Sleeping four, the fire truck has a master bedroom with a king-size bed, as well as a twin bedroom for younger visitors - complete with fire engine-themed furniture.

It is certainly a paradise for children, who can completely immerse themselves in their imagination while playing with the costumes and hosepipes to imitate a firefighter. 

There is even a pole between the floors to make parents' nighttime mission to the kitchen for a glass of water that bit easier. 

But don't worry, it can be locked if any boisterous Fireman Sam fans need the safety precaution.

You climb aboard the firetruck via the charming patio area, which is ideal for scenic stargazing, al fresco dining and lazy afternoons with your favourite book.

Guests are greeted by a relaxed - and red - space, which forms an open-plan kitchen and lounge area complete with squishy beanbags and a comfy sofa that converts into a double bed. 

There are plenty of spots to curl up in front of the Smart TV, while someone cooks up a storm in the kitchen. 

But the most spectacular part of the firetruck is the private sauna room, which really puts the heat in this hot property. 

It provides the perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploring the southern foot fells of Blencathra, one of the most impressive fells in the Northern Lakes.

You can get cleaned up in the shower room and toilet before tucking yourself up in one of the cosy beds to rest and get ready for another adventure.

Previous guests praised the fire engine as a godsend for active children, as well as adults with a fire for unique getaways.  

One person wrote: "A fabulous place to stay. Grandchildren had an amazing time dressing up and there was everything we needed for a comfortable and fun stay. "

Another added: "My two boys aged 6 and 8 loved the pole and dressing up clothes."

Someone else agreed: "The fireman's pole provided the boys with plenty of exercise, they played dress up and read their fireman books in the fire truck bed. They loved every second of it."

It isn't the only amazing former fire engine in the UK - as this couple decided to convert an old fire truck into their dream family home, with a log burner, shower room, sound system and a bunk bed for their kids onboard.

Or you can spend the night on a converted double-decker bus, which has been transformed into a holiday home.
