What customers say
This is a peaceful, off-grid glamping site offering a tranquil escape. Guests praise the cosy, well-equipped shepherd's huts, beautiful rural setting amongst orchards, and the friendly, helpful hosts. The outdoor shower and compost toilets are noted as clean and functional, with many appreciating the break from technology. Dog-friendly. Some mention difficulties finding the site, and a few found mattresses and steps challenging.

Perfect get away
Ruby shepherd's hut
Liked The area is beautiful, the owner is really friendly and after check in we were left alone for the entire stay.
Completely off grid, so no electric (which we loved). We had a log burner inside the hut, and you can purchase extra wood for £10 (we did have a small box of wood left in the hut for free)
Dog friendly, we will definitely be back!
Disliked Nothing

So peaceful
Thomas shepherd's hut
Liked Absolutely beautiful, so peaceful, one of the most tranquil spot I have stayed in. The bed was really comfortable. The sound of nature was beautiful, and the treat of a little stream and safe place to walk the dogs. Hosts were excellent 👌

Thomas shepherd's hut
Liked Beautiful setting inside fruit orchard. The Shepherd Huts are spaced privately around.The huts are amply equipped with individual cooking areas and facilities.
It is suitably located for the Lakes (Ullswater literally 20 mins away).
Peace n quiet at its finest.
The proprietors are really really nice too..
Dogs enjoyed the river on the footpath adjacent.
Lovely thoughts like marshmallows and sticks for roasting, wood available for firepit or log burner.
You can hear owls and we spotted a hedgehog.
Disliked No electric means no light in the evening.
This is not the fault of the site, I had not experienced off grid camping before and was unprepared!

Welcoming owners, clean facilities.
George shepherd's hut
Liked We stayed with our two children and really enjoyed. It is very spacious and cosy. There is a bunk bed and a small sofa. The bunk bed is quite large – the bottom is like a double bed, and the top can easily accommodate two children. The place is very quiet. We also made friends with their dog, Thomas. We would love to come back again one day. Many thanks to the hosts for such a cosy stay.

The site is lovely, very quiet…
Ruby shepherd's hut
Liked The site is lovely, very quiet and close enough to the motorway which makes it great place either on your way up north or if you like to visit the Lake District. The host was amazing and very helpful. The hut itself was clean, tidy and had anything you may needed and even more! The children and us loved the place and the experience so if we're ever again in the area - definitely will book it again!!

Betty shepherd's hut
Liked Particularly liked 'Betty' shepherd's hut - its position on the site and the space around it is perfect. Loved the open-topped shower. Never knew a composting toilet could be so pleasant! Lovely having fruit trees and animals around.

Relaxing family stay
George shepherd's hut
Liked Really lovely stay with my 8 year old. We were there for the August named storm and the cabin was cosy and well equipped. The owners were extremely welcoming and responsive when we had queries and questions.
The bed is firm but not impossibly so and plenty of good pillows etc.
Don't be frightened of the shower-it's lovely!
Each cabin has an area by it, of open ground (big enough for some friendly badminton and swinging around some point), amongst the mowed pathways in the longer grass and flowers. Over the road there is a field which goes down to the river.
The local area is peaceful rolling countryside close enough to the lakes to hop over (we visited Aira Force and walked down Derwent Water and got the boat ferry back up, and enjoyed local walks at wonderfully peaceful rivers and villages.)
(We also had signal with Three mobile.)
Disliked Not a lot springs to mind.
