Brampton 5.6 miles. Situated in the peaceful Heads Nook in Cumbria is High Rigg Shepherd's Sunset, an enchanting shepherd's hut boasting countryside views from the hot tub on the decking. With easy access to the market town of Brampton and the thriving Lake District National Park, this lodge makes for a perfect base for a couple or solo traveller to explore the area or stay in and relax in peace.

Kick off your shoes and relax in front of the TV for a couple of hours while the woodburning stove gently roars in the background. From here, utilise the kitchen and whip up a delicious meal for your loved one to enjoy at the dining table over a glass of wine, or perhaps take your meals alfresco and admire the views while out on the decking. Enjoy a soak in the hot tub as the evening draws to a close, and when sleep calls, make your way inside to rest your eyes ahead of an adventurous day out.

It was everything we wished it could be. The accommodation was well equipped, cosy and comfortable with a lovely bottle of complimentary fizz in the fridge for us to enjoy. The hot tub is the icing on the cake. We did a couple of walks then came back and relaxed in there with a beer and some music whilst our food was cooking in the oven. It was bliss

It was our first time in a âShepherdâs hutâ and we were a little surprised at how compact it was however the outdoor space made up for this with covered and uncovered areas allowing us to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery and ever changing weathers!
