Shepherd's Hut vacation rentals in Cumbria

I had a great stay would definitely stay again. It’s a lovely little cabin peaceful and quiet

We had a fantastic stay at the cabin whilst on a weekend getaway. Stella kindly left clear instructions of how to get to the cabin, left a heater on for us so we were cosy from the get go on the arrival which was fantastic after a cold windy February day exploring the local sites! The cabin was extremely comfortable and cosy, we loved the privacy and were able to ‘switch off’ from our busy daily lives - a perfect break which allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves. The cabin was also in great proximity to a variety of locations - we managed to explore Carlisle, Hadrian’s Wall and the Gretna Green outlet whilst staying at Stella’s cabin. Thank you Stella and would highly recommend our stay to others!

Had a lovely time! Was greeted by Jane on arrival who showed us all amenities and how to use them. Her instructions on how to get there were super helpful and was delighted to find biscuits awaiting us. Very cosy, even cosier when you light the fire place at night. The fridge wasn’t very cold, so something to be aware of when shopping but definitely not a necessity for a shorter stay like ours. We were lucky enough to get to meet her dog, who is very friendly! We were pleasantly surprised at how conveniently located it was, right in the middle of the local village, whilst still being close enough to enjoy the local hiking trails such as old man Coniston. There happened to not be a booking on the day of our leave so Jane was kind enough to give us a more flexible checkout. Definitely a place to stay if you’re wanting a weekend away in Coniston, even if it’s just for the dog ;)

Cannot wait to come back!

surrounded by fields with sheep and lamps, everything in excellent condition

Fantastic hut, lovely location. Everything was functional and well thought out. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful place to stay and the country around is so picturesque! Very easy stay and everything went as planned! Would happily stay again!

Really really good stay. Enjoyed the use of the indoor and outdoor fires, especially under the stars and listening to the owls. Kathryn & Trevor have really used the space well and it feels very private. Trevor welcomed us from the beginning and was very friendly and showed us to the hut. Perfect weekend away to recharge and spend quality time with loved ones. Thank you for letting us stay in such a lovely peaceful space! Oh and the sheep are extremely friendly too!

It was absolutely fantastic all round. quaint area and place. All the included facilities were nothing sort of brilliant. Our stay was exceptional. It was exactly what was needed to unwind and relax... simply perfection. Thank you... We will most certainly be back!

Stayed in the shepherds hut. Hosts are very responsive if you have any questions. Very comfortable with all the amenities that you need. Fabulous views in the most peaceful surroundings with plenty of country walks close by. If you are looking for peace and quiet and a place to recharge. This is it! We have visited the site twice now. We will definitely be back ❤️

Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner who was lambing. We were shown lambs that were 15 minutes old! Very friendly owners who are clearly passionate about what they do. The shepherds hut was very clean throughout and very cosy with the underfloor heating. The little personal touches throughout really made the place feel homely. We walked into town which didn't take long and found a great selection of pubs and food available, as advertised. Attached to the side of the hut their was a little sheltered area with the wood burning stove and BBQ. Even in a cold wind, this area was toasty with the burner on. Even if the weather turned, you'd be fine having a BBQ outside here. All in all, a brilliant little place that we will be returning to

Jessie’s Shepherd’s Hut was beautifully warm and cosy when we arrived and easy to keep warm if needed. ( I am always cold) Thoughtfully laid out and furnished, we had everything we needed, plus a lovely hot shower! Very comfy bed with a lovely cosy throw. It is very privately situated and not overlooked. The outdoor space was ample and we enjoyed seeing the lambs and horses. A beautiful retreat in a lovely location, and so convenient for the lakes and towns Thank you for a super weekend! ☺️

This place was so so clean and beautiful! So close by to local tourist places such as three peaks and Malham cove and on such a lovely quiet street. I highly recommend this place to anyone thinking of booking! Felicity is very lovely, left us milk, biscuit and things to make ourselves hot drinks! This place was beautiful.

We had a fantastic weekend at Ali’s Little Woodland retreat - it was so peaceful and the surrounding countryside is just stunning. Lots to see and do in the area. The hut has everything you need, the bed is very comfortable and the fire kept us very cosy. The dogs thought it was the best place ever. Absolutely recommend it, stay for as long as you can!!

Absolutely amazing host and location. The Shepard’s hut was so cosy yet still felt spacious despite its small size. Alison and her partner were so friendly and gave great recommendations for local spots and things for us to do. Would gladly go again any day.

We had a lovely time at the Shepherd's Hut. The hut itself was great for a family of four with two kids under 10 - comfortable, well laid out, clean and had everything we needed for the night. Lots of outdoor games provided too. The setting is fantastic, very secluded and quiet with views over the dales. Colin was a really communicative and responsive host. Would highly recommend!

The best Air BNB we have stayed at thus far! WOW! Heaven on earth - the place is stunning along with the gardens and amenities! We shall certainly be back! Middleton Lodge over the road (walking distance) and a great benefit being so close along with access to the Dales again breath taking! Fiona gave us some great local spots and should be proud of the place you’ve created… Holiday Blues have already kicked in and only left 7 hours ago!

If I could give 6 stars I would. Amy’s place was absolutely as described and even more. Pictures didn’t do the surrounding areas enough justice absolutely beautiful and peaceful area perfect for a couples getaway. Was my girlfriend birthday and Amy went out of her way to set up balloons and even got her a gift. Amazing host, amazing AirB&B. Would 100% return.

I stayed in flora at the garden rooms, it was an easy quick check in and was given a friendly welcome and informative instructions on the use of the log burner hot tub, its in a scenic spot and I had a great time, we were greeted with a welcome basket with snacks and a bottle of Prosecco, not many places go down to little details like this, absolutely perfect stay.

Just wow. We had a great time in a truly wonderful location. So peaceful (apart from the beautiful lambs everywhere!). Ashley was very helpful and easy to communicate with. He also provided excellent recommendations for things to do within the local area. Would not hesitate in returning. Thanks so much for making our stay so enjoyable.

We had an extremely cosy and relaxing weekend for my partners birthday. Unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side the first night but we did manage to get in the hot tub the second night. The games round could do with a wee update of games and darts but we had a giggle anyway. Beautiful area, short walk to the beach and we had everything we needed. Daniel was very responsive with any questions we had. Great weekend!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Shepherd’s Hut (Hillside Hut). From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful, cosy, and thoughtfully prepared. The hut itself is beautifully designed, full of charm and little touches that make it feel so welcoming. It was also spotlessly clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the wood-burning stove made the evenings so warm and relaxing. Everything you could possibly need is provided, from a well-equipped kitchen to lovely outdoor seating where you can enjoy the views and the quiet countryside. The location is perfect, peaceful and private, yet still close enough to explore nearby villages and local walks. We loved how quiet and calm it was; it really is the perfect place to unwind and escape everyday life. The hosts (Joanne & Steve) were brilliant too, friendly, helpful, and respectful of our privacy, which made the stay even better. We would absolutely love to return again very soon and would highly recommend this little

This place is amazing and even better in person! The location is stunning and tranquil while being so close by to Alnmouth and Alnwick. Very clean and has everything you’ll need. 10/10

We were blown away with the location when we arrived for our stay, Deborah and Peter welcomed us on arrival and showed us around, talked to us about local restaurants and things to do (which there was also lots of information in a folder in the accommodation with even more suggestions of things to do in the area). They were super friendly and responded really quickly when we had messaged on the app prior to our stay and while we were there. The location was incredible; tranquil with a wonderful view of the sunrise, but close enough to lots of lovely villages, pubs and Berwick-Upon-Tweed. Inside the hut was immaculate, Deborah and Peter have really thought about everything you may need and more for your stay, and the layout was spacious and designed superbly. We would love to come and stay here again!
