Weardale Retreat shepherd's hut (hot tub)
Liked: The accommodation was really comfortable and well put together. We had stacks of extras that made our stay wonderful. We had everything we needed and more. The location is idyllic, peaceful and secluded. The family were very welcoming and helpful. We really enjoyed being surrounded by the farm and the animals. We’d definitely stay again. Wonderfully relaxing.

Weardale Retreat shepherd's hut (hot tub)
Liked: This was a gem of a retreat- the shepherds hut was beautiful- really thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need- including local products, including burgers and sausages, eggs and cheese. The location is spectacular an uninterrupted view across the Dale, with incredible views in every direction, and some very friendly sheep. The site is set in its own space making it really private. The wood fired hot tub was just brilliant- easy to use and plenty of wood available. There was a bbq and also a fire pit, which made fora cosy evening under the stars. The newly mown path to the hut had solar lighting, and part of the space was left wild so there were lots of insects and birds. We would thoroughly recommend visiting, and intend to go back to explore the area in foot. We had our Labrador with us, and she had her own special welcome with a dog blanket, and a bag of treats. And It’s only 30 minutes into Durham.

Weardale Retreat shepherd's hut (hot tub)
Liked: Excellent set up, owners have thought of everything to make your stay relaxing as possible, from the little cart to transport your gear to the hut to the bag of marshmallows for the wood pit. No problems what so ever. Definitely recommend this but to anyone looking for a peaceful few days or a location to do some walking in the Durham Dales.

Weardale Retreat shepherd's hut (hot tub)
Liked: Absolutely loved the area/scenery, privacy and how quiet the place is. The hot tube was amazing aswell, watching the sun go down over the moors was pure bliss while nice and warm in the tub. We took our dog and had the best time, loads of space for him to explore. The little welcome hamper was lovely aswell. We will definitely be staying again!
