Dale Head Farm Shepherds Hut

What a lovely, cosy shepherds' hut set in the most peaceful location. We stayed for 6 nights and there is still so much more to explore. The accommodation was excellent. Clean, cosy and very warm. Maggie and her family did so much to make us all feel welcome. Our 9 year old son had a fantastic time playing in the stream and helping to care for the pet lambs. He would have liked to stay! The breakfasts were delicious. Can't recommend highly enough. Thank you Maggie for all the thoughtful little extras which really did make such a difference. We would love to return again if you would have us all back.

The location was beautiful and peaceful, and the hut was cosy,comfortable and well equipt. Maggie,the owner, was friendly and welcoming and provided us with a delicious breakfast in the morning. We loved the stunning scenery of Rosedale and enjoyed a breathtaking walk that began on the doorstep. My daughter loved being introduced and interacting with the new lambs on the farm. An amazing outdoors experience!

Just come back from 3 amazing days at Dale Head Farm. The Sheperd's hut is just so cool, the log burner keeping the hut warm the whole time we were there, even with 4 inches of snow, and below zero most of the time.
Maggie and Chris were extremely welcoming and friendly. The very rustic coffee shop with a BIG log burner (fully fired up every morning), was the perfect setting for Maggie's amazing cooked breakfast!
If you want a taste of real Yorkshire, then you'd be hard pushed to experience it better else where. The simplicity of the Shepherd's Hut, in the very rural yet historic surroundings of Dale Head Farm, is the perfect escape from the rat race.
Easy access to a wide variant of beautiful walks. Surrounded in the near locality, by outstanding examples of traditional Yorkshire communities. Quirky and quaint pubs, genuinely sincere and warm people, with amazing food as standard.
We will absolutely be back.
Spring time in the Dales...

On the down side...

While we were there, we were most disappointed when we were informed that we would NOT be snowed in. Even with 4-5 inches of snow we were confidently informed that we would be able to leave Dale Head Farm. We were hoping that we may have been snowed in, and would have had to stay a few more days!

Really enjoyed our stay in the shepherds hut, the accomodation was lovely and so different to anywhere we have stayed before. The surroundings are so tranquil and the hut is situated in the countryside with amazing views. The hut itself is of a high standard, very cosy and welcoming, the log burner is an added bonus we managed a very peaceful nights sleep which is rare when we stay elsewhere. The hosts Maggie and family are wonderful, she went above and beyond our expectations to make our stay enjoyable and ensured we had everything we needed and more!. The breakfast in the morning was faultless! Really quality local ingredients and Maggie's baking alone is well worth the trip! We enjoyed our stay so much we have booked another two nights here and we are very much looking forward to it. Our only negative is that we didnt try one of maggies famous jam and cream scones! Hopefully next time!
