  • Modern shepherd's huts on a peaceful Eden Valley smallholding
  • A 15-minute drive from Penrith; half an hour from Ullswater
  • Rural site with far-reaching views and barbecues provided
If you're on the lookout for comfy Cumbria stays, check out the accommodation at Foxwold Huts and Camping, a peaceful farm site set over eight secluded acres of rural land. Surrounded as they are by green surrounds and finished to a high standard inside and out, these handsome huts make quite the pretty picture and are an all-round brilliant backdrop for stints in the Cumbria countryside. Shepherd's huts have come on quite a bit since pre-industrial times – these models come with barbecue areas, outdoor furniture, plush soft furnishings and comfy beds. They've all been thoughtfully set up far apart from other buildings in a quiet paddock, with green and grassy vistas that are rather lovely to wake up to. They don't come with showers, but separate eco toilet facilities are on hand a short walk away. Those who are in the market for proper rural views have come to the right place: it's part of a smallholding that's taken a variety of animals under its wing over the past few years, including ponies, a flock of sheep and Talulah the resident cow (guests can't actually wander around the farm area but it's certainly a fitting background). There's also a small stream that runs through the site, with fab views over the Pennines to boot. Foxwold Huts and Camping is a mile from Morland village centre, where there's a café, pub and historic parish church. Penrith (15 minutes' drive) is home to the nearest supermarket.

What customers say

Guests rave about the beautiful, serene setting and superb hosts. Cozy, clean shepherd's huts offer a "rustic with modern amenities" feel. Appreciated are the off-grid quiet, spacious sites, and clean composting toilets/outdoor showers. Firm beds were a minor note. Overall, highly positive with many planning returns.

Ruby shepherd's hut

Liked Everything about this site is just perfect! So pleased to have found it. Went as a family of 5 plus 2 dogs staying in Ruby with a tent pitched next to the hut. Charmingly rustic and quirky but with everything you could possibly need. Don’t be put off by the outdoor shower, water was hot and just a joy to be showering in the open air! The owners were so helpful, nothing was a problem at all (even extra marshmallows when we forgot to pick them up at the shop!). We’ll definitely be back!

Thomas shepherd's hut

Liked We booked a last minute night away and so glad we did, fox worlds was beautiful and so peaceful. The owners couldn’t do enough for you and my little boy loved seeing the horses and sheep. The Huts were so clean and comfy, we got upgraded to Betty which was even better for us for space and convenience with a little boy and dog.

George shepherd's hut

Liked We stayed in George for two nights, 2 adults and our two children (17 & 13). The hut and kitchen have absolutely everything you need, no need to pack any kitchen items including plates and cups etc. The hut is really homely and cosy, and the 4 of us fit in really comfortably. We had amazing weather so managed to cook and sit outside late into the evening, we used the fire pit too which was another lovely touch. The site itself is so peaceful, the way the huts are placed you really feel like you are the only ones there! We were dreading using the shower but it was actually a very pleasant experience!!! The owners are lovely, nothing is too much and they are happy to help with any local places to go. Getting up for the loo in the middle of the night and seeing the sky bursting with bright stars was brilliant!!! We will definitely go back one day.

Disliked I’m fussy so the compost toilet was never going to be my favourite part of the stay. That said, the toilets are spotlessly clean and do the job they are there to do!

A freezer compartment to store ice for drinks would be handy.

Ruby shepherd's hut

Liked We had such a wonderful stay in Ruby, the off grid hut. The location was wonderful with a private pitch. The hosts were lovely and could not be kinder. It was central with most areas in the lakes being easily accessible by car. We would 100% love to come again!!

Local attractions

This site is in the sweet spot between the Yorkshire Dales, Lake District and North Pennines, all of which can be reached in a 20-minute drive or less. Stick Ullswater (30 minutes) in your satnav if you're on the lookout for sailing or canoeing on a big body of water; there's also a 20-mile long walking route that encircles this loveliest of lakes, with several pubs and hikers’ cafés to be found along the way. History-hunters may well want to spend a spell at Lowther Castle (20 minutes), a cracking country house with landscaped gardens. A niche but interesting option is to take a trip to Kendal Quaker Tapestry Museum (35 minutes) to see its 77 intricately embroidered panels. In the event that the kids come down with a case of museum fatigue, a trip to the movies and live shows at the Rheged Centre (20 minutes) may well be just the job. The World of Beatrix Potter (50 minutes) is another safe bet for younger tots, while more mature teens may favour a high trees jaunt at Go Ape Grizedale (an hour and 10 minutes).
