Amazing! Will be going again!
This place is not about the cleanliness or hygiene, it about getting back into the natural world, seeing Mother Nature at her best, taking advantage of the lovely wilderness. It was so peaceful and tranquil, the sound of the stream next to us was amazing! Would definitely recommend! Currently looking for my own hut I’ve lived it so much!

Lovely clean shepherds hut, fabulous location! The burner is so warm and the shower is great, and the location could not be more quiet and peaceful. Highly recommended.

The most unique and amazing experience in the most gorgeous hut.
My husband, dog and I were touring around The Lake District and we needed to find a place for one night. I found this Shepherds Hut and the booking was accepted very quickly. Hilary is a wonderful host who has put an amazing amount of effort and attention to detail to her hut. She kindly allowed us to arrive earlier and stay later as there were no other guests following us. On arrival we had homemade scones and jam, fresh flowers and eggs waiting for us! The field is bigger than I expected with a stream at the bottom and a picnic bench. We had dinner outside with a fire lit and watched the bats and heard the owls. The hut is super cosy and very warm - we slept better there than anywhere on our trip! Hilary has also made sure there are breakfast items for you in the morning - cereals, bread etc. As it describes you are off grid and how wonderful that was! Absolute peace and quiet where you can escape from everything and everyone! We will definitely return for some more R&R Thank you Hilary for a blissful stay in your gorgeous hut.
