Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently note the cleanliness of the retreat, mentioning that it is very clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
The location is frequently described as stunning and peaceful, with beautiful views and a sense of seclusion that many guests find perfect for a getaway.
The comfort of the retreat is often praised, particularly the bed and the cosy atmosphere. However, a few guests noted the snugness of the bathroom and the lack of a full-length mirror, slightly impacting the comfort score.
Facilities such as the hot tub and kitchenette are well-received, but some guests experienced issues with hot tub maintenance timing and a desire for better bathroom facilities and Wi-Fi, leading to a slightly lower score.
The thoughtful gestures of homemade shepherd's pie and prosecco are warmly mentioned by many guests, although it is important to note that such personal touches, while appreciated, may not be guaranteed for every stay.

This shepherd’s hut is perfect for a couple seeking to explore Cumbria or simply get away from it all to enjoy a romantic retreat together. After situating your car within the allocated off-road parking space, a short walk up the endearing pathway will bring you to this elegantly-styled dwelling. On arrival, be drawn in by the home-made shepherd’s pie that awaits you within the open-plan living room, where a woodburning stove offers a sense of tranquillity during those chiller evenings. This small, yet well-appointed space comes with a kitchen area for rustling up your own tasty treats, a dining space and a plush king-size bed waiting to be sunk into after an action-packed day. During a balmy afternoon, enjoy a spot of alfresco dining whilst sipping a local gin and admiring your rural surroundings before continuing around the corner to dip into the bubbling hot tub. Look forward to opening up the fizz that’s awaiting you in the wine bucket, roast some marshmallows and curl up with your partner in front of the fire pit with throws wrapped around you as the evening grows darker and before you retire to the evening’s embrace.

Location fab, hot tub perfect. Bed really comfy.great place for a chill. However couple of niggles. The path to the hut is appalling. Few slabs then grass only and was basically a mud bath for a good 50m. Wellies or walking boots were a must. This really needs to be dealt with. The hut had a fridge with no ice compartment so if you want to sit and sip a g&t on veranda then you wonât have any ice! I think bearing in mind the cost then really the ice compartment should be there. Also only one toilet roll left - we were there 4 days so had to go and buy more. I think that is ridiculous. When you pay a lot of money these are things you shouldnât have to think about. Also the table is too high for the lovely chairs so when you are eating itâs quite awkward. And there was only a tiny little swivel mirror in bathroom. A mirror on wall would make more sense. The shepherds pie and fizz that was left was a lovely gesture. The shepherds pie was lovely but very peppery. We would definitely stay again but feel these minor niggles would make a huge difference if they were resolved.
