One of, if not, the best we've stayed at. Everything was perfect and our friendly host could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay. It was lovely to not have a list of does and don'ts and to be trusted with a hut equipped with top quality fittings and equipment. We will be back for another visit as soon as we are ready for another wonderful, restful break. Thank-you Kate.

Spent 4 days at this shepherds hut, perfect location to see the lakes. The hut was beautiful presented inside. Had all the essentials you will need for a relaxing break. Over looking the fields while located privately away from the main farm house. The hot tub was a great addition, the owner set this up on our arrival. Bonus was having a heated clothes rack to dry wet clothes from the hikes we did. Will definitely book again when coming back to the lakes

Can’t thank Kate enough for letting us stay here. The place was clean, cosy, and has a great view. She went the extra mile to make our stay extra special. Has a good off-grid camper vibe even though it’s only 5 mins from Cockermouth. Highly recommend staying here
