  • 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.

What customers say

Lovely, peaceful spot with spotless, well-equipped shepherd's huts. Amazing views, especially from the hot tub, and easy beach access. Emma and Paul are super welcoming and helpful hosts. Great for dogs too! You'll want to come back.

Shepherd's hut (hot tub)

Liked Just came back from spending 3 nights at Guards Hidden Huts, we absolutely loved our stay. We are a couple in their 50s and our dog Max, who enjoyed the secure space to have a run about. The beach is a good 7-8 min walk and worth the trip. We did use the hot tub that is next to the hut, it was late at night and the string lights came on when dark. Emma and Paul are lovely hosts and made us feel very welcome. We would very much recommend you staying at Hidden Hut as we will be going back in the future...

Shepherd's hut (hot tub)

Liked The location is so good, nice 5 minute walk to the beach. The hut is tucked beautifully on the farm with a lovely sence of privacy. Yet a 5 minute drive and you have a village with all the conveniences you may need.

The hut its self was perfectly clean and tidy with everything we needed for our stay, it felt so cozy when you are tucked up in bed.

The owners were so welcoming when we arrived and did a fantastic job of discussing the local area and recommendations on where to eat and what to see.

Also so accommodating to our two dogs whom had a nicely fenced off area around the hut so they could sit and watch the sheep.
