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.

Fantastic!
So happy with the hut where we stayed for 2 nights! The location is just magical! Super romantic place and it offers everything you need! Matt was super accommodating, provided everything we asked for (we needed some kindle for fire) and kept the communication going at all times. The hut is small but so practical and cute and clean and modern! Perfect for a couple! You are surrounded by sheep which I loved and you have the perfect sunrise and sunset views! Close to Derwent water and CatBells walk! Thanks so much, Matt! And I would love to return!
