Lovely stay in small but perfectly formed hut
We really enjoyed this property. For a cozy space it’s very well equipped and is so well designed it felt spacious. It was so peaceful we loved waking up next to the sheep and enjoying morning coffee outside with views of the lake. Our host was very helpful with showing us a short cut through his property to start a walk. Check in and out very easy. Would stay again.

Wonderful stay
We really enjoyed our stay at the Shepherds hut. A fantastic location, so peaceful and beautiful. Watching the sun set over the water each evening was fantastic. The shepherds hut was really clean and had everything we needed and the bed was very comfy. We would love to come back again!

Pewce and quiet
We'd just had a couple of days in Manchester and I wanted the exact opposite experience and this delivered. Totally peaceful and isolated. The only noise was sheep, birdsong and a river or stream in the distance. The hut was clean with a fridge, wifi, microwave and hob but most importantly a teapot! Highly recommended.
