The location is lauded for its stunning views and proximity to Cockermouth and the Lake District, making it an ideal base for exploration.
The hut is noted for its cosy atmosphere and homely touches. However, there is no mention of the quality of beds or seating, which prevents a perfect score.
Facilities like the hot tub and Netflix are appreciated, but there are comments about initial confusion with the hot tub fee and a lack of basic amenities upon arrival, slightly affecting the score.

Chris Beaumont
We had an amazing 5day stay. . The shepherd hut was perfect for our family of 4 and our dog. It was very clean and welcoming also lovely interior and warm when relaxing inside.The hot tub was all ready for use when we arrived and is so easy to keep up to temperature with the wood burner. Logs was always stocked up ready for each day. The kids loved the hot tub every morning and evening under the stars. Kate the owner and her dad was so nice and welcoming. We will definitely making a return. The location is perfect. Parking was perfect. Thankyou for a fantastic stay.
