Rosedale Light shepherd's hut
Liked: The shepherds hut was incredible, you could just turn up, everything was provided, including a gorgeous breakfast, cooked for you at a time of your choosing. The beds were really comfy and the view and peaceful location was incredible. We had problems keeping the wood burning stove lit and Farmer Chris came and helped us, nothing was too much trouble. We were also entertained by the farms sheep all trotting past to go to bed. Private bathroom just for you and great location for exploring and walking. Maggie gave us a fantastic run down of places nearby. The on site tea rooms offers homemade scones and cakes, all made on the farm. Can't recommend enough and can't wait to visit again!
Disliked: Nothing!

Rosedale Light shepherd's hut
Liked: Our host, Maggie, was amazing!! Very kind, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The Shepherds Hut is beautiful, laid out in a great setting. The farm is lovely and the tea room too. We loved our stay and will be booking again. We highly recommend this stay if you’re looking for that rural, quiet getaway. We aren’t big walkers but the disused railway line to the pub was well worth the walk. You can drive too and there is parking just outside the hut.

Rosedale Light shepherd's hut
Liked: Absolutely beautiful, and Maggie went above and beyond. It was really scenic, peaceful and relaxing. Surrounded by stunning views and nature. She was extremely hospitable and friendly. Everything was clean, well kept and homely and we would defiantly come again. Thank you so much for accommodating us, it was an absolute pleasure to stay at the shepherds hut. The sheep’s had also just also lambed which was a bonus, they were super cute. Maggie and her family were happy to show them to us. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and she went above and beyond on all counts. We had a wonderful weekend, thank you so much again and wish all the best for the future. Will definitely be recommending to all our family and friends

Rosedale Light shepherd's hut
Liked: Great place to stay, cosy hut with comfy double bed. Host was very friendly and helpful. Everything provided from towels to wood for the burner. Maggie even set the burner going before we arrived, so hut was already toasty. Clean and maintained bathroom facilities, very close to hut. Homecooked breakfast was great. Beautiful location, stunning views. Will likely be booking again.
Disliked: Wifi didn't quite reach the hut enough, but didn't really impact our stay. Heard a lot of dogs barking, but didn't go on for long?

Rosedale Light shepherd's hut
Liked: Very nice host with great breakfast.
Disliked: Shower temperature varied from freezing to steaming hot. Hut was a little small for two people.
Recommend to friends Visit again
From the manager: Thank you . It’s a shame you didn’t mention the shower while here as I would happily have sorted this for you. Sometimes people alter the settings and it just needs rebooting. The shower is an excellent one . Size of hut is as described but I think you were unsure what a shepherds hut was really. Perhaps you don’t have them in America.
Excellent place to stay, friendly staff amazing breakfast x

Rosedale Light shepherd's hut
Liked: A beautiful setting with an excellent host. This lovely shepherds hut was set in the north Yorkshire moors with a lovely cooked breakfast in with the price, which we ate in a tearoom .Which is opened later in the morning serving a wonderful selection of home baked treats cooked by the loveliest of hosts called Margaret . She made us feel very welcome and was full of lots of knowledge about the surrounding area and walks . Margaret was happy to speak with us but then also to leave us to enjoy our stay. We were in a lovely clean shepherds hut with everything we needed including a toilet and shower room next to it for our two night stay with local pubs nearby to enjoy a drink and a nice meal. We would highly recommend this place and can’t wait to return.

Rosedale Light shepherd's hut
Liked: The shepherds hut was cute and quirky which is what we were after. The catering facilities were minimal, the bathroom and toilet separate but that was all part of the charm. The scenery was breathtaking and the setting peaceful and relaxing. Maggie was a lovely host- approachable and friendly but also left us alone. The tea shop on the farm was fabulous

From the manager: Thank you it was lovely to meet you . Catering facilities are what are advertised. Microwave bbq and utility and you did get more free china than I expected!
