  • Adults-only luxury shepherd's hut on a Cumbria working farm
  • Beach five minutes' walk; 15 minutes' drive to southern Lake District
  • Kingsize bed, firepit and wood-fired hot tub; dogs welcome
When you fancy a walk from the shepherd’s hut at Guards Farm Hidden Huts, you’ll face a choice – should you take the short five-minute stroll out to the local beach, or turn the other way for an equally lovely wander on the moors? If that sounds like the sort of dilemma you could probably cope with, plot a stay at this cosy and luxurious adults-only glamping hut in the Cumbria countryside about five minutes’ drive south of Kirkby-in-Furness. Although kids aren’t allowed here, dogs are very welcome. As well as having a couple of lovely places within walking distance, this location is also handily placed for jaunts into the Lake District National Park – the southern edge of the park is about 15 minutes’ drive away for walks and other outdoor activities. The town of Ulverston is handily also about 15 minutes’ drive away for shops, pubs and places to eat. Before you do any of that, of course, you’ll have to manage to get yourselves off site – and that could well prove to be tricky, as it’s very easy to feel settled here. For starters, this is a working farm so you’ll have a whole lot of livestock to greet before you go anywhere. And you’ll also no doubt have to dedicate some time to looking out of the window at the stunning views. The hut’s setup is equally enticing – it’s got a kingsize bed, a sofa and a TV for chillout time, an ensuite bathroom and a well-equipped kitchen (with a fridge, induction hob and handcrafted solid oak worktop). Outside, there’s a seating area with firepit and griddle, and the crowning glory: a gorgeous wood-fired hot tub.

Shepherd's hut (hot tub)

Liked Absolutely amazing, beautiful location, the hosts have thought about absolutely everything. The hut is sparkling clean, we used the tub a lot, luckily had great weather. We can't wait to book again, I have nothing negative to say at all. Perfect for dogs as they have their own enclosure to run free.

Shepherd's hut (hot tub)

Liked Absolutely everything. Guards Farm is a perfect place for a 'get away from it all' break. The views from the shepherds hut are amazing and everything is so peaceful. Emma and Paul are the nicest people and really helpful and go above and beyond to make your stay just right with special little touches here and there. The hot tub is spot on, we stayed out in it until 12.40am watching a spectacular storm head out to sea. All in all, a perfect break.

Shepherd's hut (hot tub)

Liked Just back from our 2nd visit to Guards Farm Hidden Huts and it won't be our last! We love everything about this place. It is so peaceful and relaxing. The hut is spotless and has everything in it you need, including an extremely comfortable kingsize bed. The weather for us was brilliant and we made full use of the hot tub and cooked steaks over the fire pit. What makes this place so special though, are the owners, Emma and Paul. They genuinely want you to have the best time, and are always around if you need suggestions on places to visit. They are the loveliest people.

Liked The owners are amazingly welcoming. A beautiful spot, perfect for a hot tub. The wine and snacks were a lovely touch on arrival.

Would recommend this to anybody fancying a trip away. It’s much more spacious and well-equipped than others we’ve stayed in.

It’s definitely on our ‘return to’ list.

Local attractions

This location may technically be just outside the Lake District National Park but it shares many of the same landscape features without having quite as many visitors. Close by you can wander straight out onto the moors, walk to the sands of Dunnerholme beach (about five minutes’ walk) or get your clubs in the car for a round at Dunnerholme Golf Club (10 minutes’ drive). Looking a little further afield, you can explore the wilds of Sandscale Haws Nature Reserve (10 minutes) or South Walney Nature Reserve (35 minutes), or head to Ulverston (15 minutes) for a wander along the canal towpath. And of course there’s the Lake District National Park, where you might choose to head to Coniston Water (20 minutes), ride the Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway (25 minutes), visit Grizedale Forest (35 minutes) for the mountain bike trails, outdoor sculptures and Go Ape course, or find one of the multitude of scenic walking trails.
