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.
About this property
Enjoying a secluded position on the outskirts of the market town of Brampton, near the majestic land of the North Pennines AONB is this outstanding hideaway, High Rigg Shepherd's Retreat. 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. As you wake up, look forward to tucking into the locally sourced breakfast, with something to suit each appetite.

We stayed for three nights with our little cockapoo in the Shepards Retreat. The short walk from the parking area to the hut is beautiful, the hut is set up on the hillside with stunning views from your balcony and hot tub. The hut has everything you could need, the log burner and fire pit were a lovely addition to a cold evening, with a small starter kit of logs kindling and fire lighters provided. The hot tub on an evening was just amazing, watching the sun set, with the dressing gowns and slippers they provided. There are beautiful walks right on your doorstep, but I highly recommend a short drive out to High Stand Forest. The hut was so peaceful in beautiful grounds, the owner was really friendly too. Our dog absolutely loved it, and we were so sad to leave. We already canât wait to return!
