A very relaxing spot to watch the local wildlife in comfort. The shepherds hut was extremely well laid out with everything you could need. Little touches made the experience extra special such as bakery goods on arrival and binoculars in the hut for watching the extensive local wildlife.

Cannot thank Graham and Karen enough for the hospitality whilst staying at their gorgeous shepards hut! Extremely attentive and nothing was too much trouble, hope to be back to visit again in the future.

We had an absolutely gorgeous stay at the hut, the views are just breathtaking and the location is perfect for exploring the moors. We did walks round Roseberry topping and a day trip to Whitby & Saltburn-by-the-sea, and some pub dinners locally. The hut is decorated to perfection, and has everything you could posibly need. Karen came to greet us and was so lovely, she showed us where everything was & had also left some lovely flapjacks and cheese scones from a local bakery along with milk and butter. The log burner kept us warm and cosy, we loved having this, and the bed was super comfortable. We are already desperate to return - the perfect place to do some exploring but also switch off and totally relax
