If you want a peaceful, tranquil and relaxed stay. This is the place . A very nice sized shepherds hut , fully equipped with all you could need. Countryside views , and perfect location to explore all areas of Lake District. Hot tub was amazing after a long day of walking . The only criticism is the bed wasn’t very comfortable in the main bedroom unfortunately could feel all the springs of the mattress . But apart from that excellent , and would definitely return.

Beautiful, peaceful, just what we wanted. Lots to do nearby. We had the best time. The hut is fenced all around so our 4 legged friend was very safe and secure.
