  • "What a luxurious property!"

    The lovely owners have thought of everything to make sure you have a relaxing and comfortable stay. We loved that the fire was set ready to light, neverending hot water to enjoy the jacuzzi bath, cozy towels and robes. Thanks to the thoughtfully provided Scrabble dictionary we had a very competitive game! We also really enjoyed the guides shared for local walks. Thank you so much for our relaxing holiday x

  • "Dufton is a lovely location with lots of walks within the vicinity, and within easy driving distance of other towns in the area."

    The cottage itself is just beautiful- really well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches by the owners Carole and Simon for both us and our dog (he loved the dog bed so much I think we'll need to get him a similar one!). We loved our stay at Shepherd's View and would love to visit again.

    Thanks for taking the time to review your stay and glad you enjoyed your stay so much - Pets at Home btw! Property Owner

  • "We’ve stayed in numerous holiday cottages, this is by far the most comfortable and well-considered."

    Everything is of the highest standard! The cottage is well appointed for walking in a quiet village, with amazing views. Owners Carole & Simon have thought of everything and are very friendly and helpful. The information book in the cottage was extremely helpful. The local pub did great food and a good place to have a good beer! Highly recommended and would stay again, and recommend to others.

    Thank you so much for your really lovely comments. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay so much - it makes all the hard work worthwhile to read your feedback! Hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "This was our first time to this area of the lakes and it didn't disappoint!"

    Dufton is quaint with a central green and a pub which had great food by the way, we particularly enjoyed the quiz night (Thursday). The accommodation is excellent, everything has been thought of along with a lovely welcome basket of food. You can see that Shepherds View Is loved by the owners Carole & Simon. We stayed 5 nights, lots to see and do in the area from walks from SV to trips out, all the information you’ll need has been carefully put together by the owners in a book inside the cottage, this we found most helpful. We would highly recommend.

    Thank you so much for taking time to review your stay. It was a pleasure having you to stay and we are delighted you enjoyed your holiday so much. Property Owner

  • "A fabulous barn conversion in a pretty village with outstanding views across the countryside."

    Our accommodation was very comfortable with all mod cons. The owners were very generous in supplying a welcome hamper with local produce. They were there to welcome us and give advice on the local area. An added bonus was the sole use of a small enclosed garden which was secure for our dog. A perfect location for walks, hikes, running and relaxing.

    Thank you for your comments. It was lovely to meet you and glad you enjoyed your stay so much. Property Owner

About the location

DUFTON

Appleby-in-Westmorland 3 miles; Penrith 13 miles.

The attractive, unspoilt rural village of Dufton is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District and Eden Valley. The village has a pub, which serves good food, an Agricultural Show held on the last Saturday in August, and is just three miles from the historic town of Appleby. At the heart of the lush Eden Valley, Appleby-in-Westmorland is one of the loveliest towns in the north of England and was originally the county town of Westmorland. Appleby is a major stop on the Settle-to-Carlisle Railway, which is one of the most beautiful railway journeys in Britain; still today, many of the old steam trains wend their way along this line and over the awe-inspiring Ribblehead viaduct. Enjoy a walk on the Pennine Way at Dufton, or explore one of the local cycle trails. With the delightful Pooley Bridge, Penrith and the magnificent Lake District within easy reach, this is an ideal holiday location.
