"A little haven hidden away and so glad we found it."
Beautiful inside and out and so peaceful that we really were able to switch off and relax, we really hope to return. It was clean, cosy and well equipped with a beautiful view as an added bonus. The directions were clear and easy to follow which made the journey over stress free. Everything was great and have already recommended it to other people.

"Lovely stay and perfect for a short get away."
The instructions to get to High Rigg were a little confusing and we didn't spot any signs until the actual entrance so struggled a little to locate it. The place itself was incredibly quiet and picturesque which is fantastic to enjoy the scenery. We did find the bed a tad uncomfortable and being left with 1 and a half toilet rolls and no matches for the fire/BBQ was a little frustrating but we managed by buying some. The hot tub was one of the best features, lovely to jump into this after a long day plus the fresh cottage pies and sparkling wine really made the hut feel cozy and welcoming, would definitely stay again.

"Both myself and my partner had a lovely time and would thoroughly recommend staying at this place ( High Rigg Shepherds cottage ) It was so peaceful and private and was just perfect for what we were looking for and as a bonus we got to see the Aurora Borealis which just made our stay more perfect If you are looking for a place that is quiet, comfortable with lovely views and need to get away from it all then this is the place for you."
There are plenty of places to visit by car in the surrounding areas that will keep you busy We did a lot of walking with our Dog (Mia) and she also thoroughly enjoyed it and lost weight in the process ( She needed it lol ) We recommend this beautiful place 100%

"An amazing place!"
The 2nd time we have been.The owners are very accomodating, and the customer service is exceptional! We love this place so much and was so sad when it came to us leaving! We will be back. Thank you

"Can’t find any fault in the Shepard's hut or its surroundings."
Was one of the best places I stayed in years
-
"This far exceeded our expectations even though we didn't know what to expect."
The accommodation was the perfect size for me my partner and our dog. There was everything we needed including a doggie bed and towel. The staff were polite and helpful and on hand if needed, The views were lovely I loved how it was down a cute lit path, proper little hideaway. The hot tub was great and we will definitely be coming back. The pies and wine in the fridge were such a lovely touch and have no influence on my views haha.
-
"2nd visit here and I'm sure we will be back, we booked this particular hut as it's the most secluded and has great views!"
It was very clean and you could tell the owners keep on top of things. The hot tub was very relaxing and we used the outdoor log burner and the inside one, they provide some logs which was great, no matches though. Dean was very helpful when I (stupidly) couldn't turn the hob on. VERY easy check in process, a code is supplied for a key box, so you don't have to see or talk to anybody.
-
"Great hosts Dave and Brenda nothing was too much trouble, very helpful."
The Shepherds hut was very comfortable and well equipped. Fantastic views and an awesome hot tub. Would definitely go there on holiday again.

We had a great time the hut itself is so cute and so private bed comfortable and clean we didn’t eat in much but the facilities were adequate and after being out all day the hot tub was perfect
-
"This is an excellent location to spend several days relaxing and recharging your batteries."
The hut is beautiful and everything you need for your stay is cratered for. The owners are so friendly if you need anything and helped straightaway when we had a problem with our car. Highly recommended.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay here."
The hut and hot tub area were clean and nicely decorated with everything we needed. We stayed in the Shepherd’s Hideaway hut and we couldn’t see anyone else from where we were (other than the cows). It’s worth noting that you’re only supplied with 1 toilet roll so take your own if you’re there for a few days like we were.
-
"Beautiful secluded location, perfect for a romantic trip away."
I stayed three nights with my partner and we had an amazing time. The hut was cosy and decorated beautifully. The hot tub was clean and the views where stunning. We will definitely be visiting again.
-
"I would like to thank the owners for helping us out of a jam when we got stuck in the mud by helping me push the car out."
very helpful and gives us some ideas of where to visit. really enjoyed our stay.
-
"The hut was as advertised which is rarity nowadays."
Appreciated the welcome food and drink after long journey and being stuck in jams on motorway. Despite the changeable weather we were snug and secure in the hut. The weather prevented us from utilising the decking and jacuzzi as we would have wished. We will be back and maybe bring good weather with us.
-
"Had a great few nights here would definetly recommend."
Hot tub was great, good to have the privacy and the dog loved it aswell. Shephard’s pie was nice and a free bottle of wine was a good addition to the holiday.
-
"If you want the perfect romantic/relaxing hide away this is the place to go ."
... the cabin was amazing, the sunset views from the hottub was just something else !... can't wait to return beautiful place .. oh and can't forget the fresh home made shepherds pie- amazing all round few days away 28th June 24

"Thank you, a wonderful setting"
-
"Amazing hidden gem!"
Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a chilled relaxing getaway! The pictures don’t do the views justice at this place especially if you’re lucky enough to get a clear evening. Dinner out on the decking and relaxing in the amazing hot tub while staring out across the amazing countryside is just bliss. Only sounds you’ll hear are that of the birds, sheep and cows!
-
"We had a fabulous stay, everything you could need at this property for a short stay."
The hut had amazing views and the shepherd's pie and bottle of fizz was excellent.
-
"The best weekend getaway I've ever had."
We were speechless when we arrived at how beautiful the whole setting/view was. Incredibly cosy, clean and warm atmosphere with everything you need for your stay. Lovely garden for the dog and the view was to die for. The hot tub was just cherry on top. The owners were so welcoming and kind the complimentary bubbels and pies were a delight! We had an absolute joy of a time and would come back here without a second thought. Absolutely amazing 10 stars thank you for an incredible stay!
-
"Absolutely would recommend anybody to stay if your after some alone time in a relaxed environment."
-
"What a lovely little find this was!"
We were blessed with beautiful weather throughout which added to the beauty of the place. The views from Shepherd's hideaway are stunning, we could have been in Tuscany. Beautiful sunsets, so private and peaceful. If you are looking for a total chll, this is ideal. Jacuzzi was well maintained and great for relaxing. Beautiful hut with its own dentity. Has everything you need. Surrounding countryside is gorgeous and nice 17th century pub a walk away, 0.5miles. Owners were lovely. Thank you for the sweet little touch of pies and fizz on arrival. Yes Yes Yes we would return.
-
"Beautifully decorated shepherds hut with stunning views."
Owners very welcoming and helpful. Shepherds pie and bubbles awaiting in the fridge. Hot tub was perfect, even the northern lights made an appearance. Have already recommended to friends and will almost definitely revisit.
-
"We had a fantastic week and were sad to be leaving."
..can not recommend this lovely gem of a getaway enough!! A little confusion from the directions at the last hurdle finding High Rigg but youll get there
-
"This was truely the most tranquil setting , my daughter and I had a wonderful stay ."
. from the moment we arrived to freshly made locally supplied shepherds pie we was sold . This location is great for those who love to go hiking or for those who just want peace and relaxation. It’s within short driving distance to many historical sites .. the lakes aren’t a million miles away and worth the drive down especially the waterfalls . We ate in the local inn on our last evening , it was delicious and the staff are so friendly . I wish to return already .. I’m seriously so sad I returned home I can only imagine the northern lights where a real treat from shepherds sunset / hide away view too . Can not thank the family enough for allowing our crazy dog along too.. he had such an adventure.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay at Shepherds Hideaway it was so peaceful with stunning views ."
The property is so cosy with everything you need and the hot tub was amazing with views across the fields . We find High Rigg a perfect place to stay very private and quiet we will definitely be back to stay again also the hosts left us a delicious homemade shepherds pie and bottle of fizz to enjoy on our arrival such a lovely gesture Thankyou so much
-
"We had an amazing time the location was beautiful, the accommodation was clean, comfy and cosy."
The hot-tub was gorgeous despite the rain. The shepherd's pies on arrival were a wonderful touch and were delicious. Overall we had a relaxing weekend and will.definitely be returning, simply stunning .
-
"What a lovely place, literally can’t fault anything :)"
-
"We loved this property, everything about it."
Everything was thought of, we were both so sad to leave on the last morning. On arrival there was a procesco and pie in the fridge. The lodge is so cosy. We were lucky as we had great weather which helped. It was easy to get around locally, not too far from anywhere but no neighbours really really close. We will be back!!
-
"WHAT A PLACE!"
!!! This small family run business is certainly one to look out for. The location itself is magnificent, with amazing views! We stayed for 3 nights, and it was just perfect. The hot tub is definitely the thing that captures people for these types of getaways. Enough cannot be said for the location, or the family that run these hideaways. If you want a private getaway this would be the one. I was so impressed with the cleanliness, the overall look of the lodge. We had everything we need. The owners were excellent always there for us when we needed them. It is an easy drive into the Lake District for walks, and site seeing. Not to mention the views themself from the lodge. Its quiet, its private, it unique. I would recommend this lodge to anyone! If you want to relax on some annual leave, or you just want a break, this is the place. I will certainly be coming back, to explore even more. Family run businesses are too and far between nowadays, but this one hits the spot, it just shows there are still small businesses who care!!! Get yourself down to the hideaway and lodges, you will not be disappointed! I just want to say a massive thank you to the family that run this, we had an excellent time, and really wish them all the best.
-
"This break away has to be the best one we've been on great location to walk with the dog ."
we also met 1 of the owners and he's was lovely. we will be going back hopefully in the summer. I recommend this location and site for everyone.
-
"Was the perfect little getaway with stunning views to wake up to in the morning"
-
"We truly enjoyed our stay, it was amazingly peaceful and we were left a few ..."
We truly enjoyed our stay, it was amazingly peaceful and we were left a few surprises upon arrival which was a very nice personal touch
-
"This was a fantastic way to spend a short break."
All the members of this family run business were friendly and very helpful. Shepherds hut was lovely. Great design thoughtfully kitted out and tasteful decor. Huts were well situated and the views from the under cover hot tub were a bonus. We were not originally down to visit here and had to change at short notice but now very glad we did. 100% recommend to anyone and will be spreading the word to family and friends. Wayne & Liz
-
"Lovely location to get away from every day life."
Nice and quiet, lovely cottage and hot tub. Loved the two day hamper and would recommend this to others.
-
"What a wonderful place to stay."
All our needs were met. Will definitely be going again.
-
"What an amazing place."
Beautiful hut facilities excellent even looked after our dog with beds, bowls and poop bags (even provided his own bin). Definitely recommend the hamper from Brenda it was gorgeous and full of homemade goodies, meals and breakfasts sorted no need to shop just turn up and open the complimentary bottle of fizz. David and Brenda very welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed and let us know they were around if needed. Each hut is individually thought out with own private space. If you want a lovely private place for peaceful place this is it. Definitely recommend while area we have booked again for Xmas my new favourite place
-
"We had an absolutely amazing time, a much needed break away in the country, beautiful views and surroundings, a cosy little cabin with wood burner and hot tub."
Loved the little personal touches like the welcome shepherd's pie, pink fizz and cosy dressing gowns for us both, and even a bed, bowl and towels for our dog!! A lot of thought really has gone into these bijou little shepherds huts to make sure you have an amazing time. The owners and their family are sooo lovely, and clearly go out of their way to make you feel truly welcome. We really didn't want to leave! Will definitely be returning at some point over the next year! There's so much to do and see locally, and the lakes are only 40 mins away, well worth a visit.
-
"We had a wonderful relaxing break at the hideaway."
It's a beautiful hut, with everything you need. Sitting in the hot tub, looking out and seeing a beautiful landscape. I really appreciate the owners little touches, we were left a homemade cottage pie and a bottle of fiz on arrival. And afterwards we had the homemade shortbread biscuits.
-
"The property was amazing (once we found it hidden away in the trees!"
) From the moment we walked up it was clear this was a special place to stay. The views of the fields with cows and sheep in the distance. And the privacy was unmatched. Walking into the cabin to fairy lights and lovely furnishings was a cherry on top. My absolute favourite part was turning the lights on outside the first night and seeing all the colijrs. Absolutely fantastic. As a 6ft 4 person however I will say the main light in the room may be a tad low, but thst was just a mild inconvenience the first time I walked into it :) Perfect holiday.
-
"High Rigg was a wonderfu, relaxing and enjoyable break."
The total privacy and lovely views made the week so much more relaxing. The facilities are excellent and has everything you need for a self catering break. The hot tub set up is really good and again private. My only issue is the bathroom that is very small and is made to look much bigger in the online Images, however this did not spoil the holiday.
-
"If you want to stay in an idyllic location, in a property that exceeds your expectations this is definitely the property for you."
From the moment you park up and walk through the hidden entrance to your own private garden you know you’ve chosen well!! The property was immaculate,the owners friendly but left you to yourselves. Perfect.
-
"What an incredible little hut!"
From the moment we stepped out the car we loved it - the owners were so welcoming and accommodating for us and there was a complimentary shepherds pie & bottle of bubbly waiting for us in the hut. The hot tub was ready for us to use. It is such a lovely, secluded area that we never wanted to leave. We drove about an hour away from the hut each day to visit the different lakes but that was personal choice, there is lots of walks nearby and places to visit that we could have. We had dinner at a local pub which was lovely. Cooking facilities in the hut were great, bathroom was lovely and the space was incredible. The views you could not get any better than that, there were a lovely herd of cows just outside the back fence of the hut which was lovely scenery. The town surrounding the hut (Brampton) was great, and a short 20 min drive to the lovely town of Carlisle was great - we did this one day then visited Keswick the next, and Windermere after that. Hot tub was perfect and very private. All round amazing experience and will be booking again. Everything we needed was available at the hut, and the owners were more than accommodating to anything we asked.
-
"Hi Brenda and David, just wanted to say what a fabulous stay we had in Shepards Hideaway the past 4 nights, it’s been perfect and we both feel much more relaxed having stayed here, I wanted to share a video I had taken of the hideaway as I found it so beautiful, I’m one with countryside and idyllic scenery and made friends with the cows :) thanks again!"
-
"Lovely little hideaway."
Comfortable and clean cabin with undercover hot tub. Very quiet farm location with great view over the countryside and sunset in the evening.
-
"We had the most relaxing and comfortable stay at High Rigg."
We stayed at Shepherd's Hideaway which had beautiful views. It was a lovely touch to be welcomed with a homemade Shepherds Pie and bottle of fizz. It made our visit all the more special. We would love to come and stay again and we have recommended you to our family and friends. Thank you
-
"The property is amazing and has a fab view and the Shepard's pie was lovely."
Only thing I could say to improve it would be to include an extra bin bag and loo roll.
-
"Beautiful place loved the craftsmanship, the only constructive criticism I could offer was the toilet was just a little too small."
Other than that we had an amazing time thanks you!
-
"This was truly such a great place to stay whilst celebrating my anniversary with girlfriend."
Felt every welcomed and things were perfect from the moment we got there. Easy to find, friendly owners and to top it off shepherds pie on your first night
-
"Our stay was perfect!"
We had the Shepherd’s Hideaway hut. It was so secluded and peaceful. Can’t recommend this place highly enough!
-
"Superb, the minute you enter the place, you already feel that you want to be back."
Highly recommended!!!
-
"Fantastic hut with everything you could possibly want or need for a cosy weekend getaway."
The owners are super friendly but equally completely respectful of privacy. I think we had the best hut with the best views out onto the fields with sunset shining straight onto the seated decking area. The shepherds pie provided is delicious and bottle of champers really topped it off. Went with a friend and had a great time, 100% recommend and 100% will be back again!
-
"Cosy little shepherds hut with everything you need."
Absolutely loved it:)
-
"Absolutely loved our stay."
Location was great, very private. Beautiful views. Perfect relaxing getaway. Thank you so much
-
"Amazing stay 100% would recommend, lovely to arrive to be bottle of fizz and a Shepard's pie."
The hot tub is amazing and the log burner in the hut just really makes it cozy.
-
"An amazing, beautiful and tranquil place for some peace and quiet away from hectic city life."
We’ll be coming again for our third time in as many years this December although in a different cottage.
-
"What a beautiful place to relax into enjoy your surroundings, inside and out, And what a welcome it was to have,The best hotpot ever and a bottle of bubbly waiting for you, what more could you asked for."

"Second visit to this amazing place and can not wait to go back :)"
-
"We were hoping for a quiet private space to relax and recharge with a chance of feeling a little pampered too; we were totally bowled over by what we found - it was absolutely idyllic, one of those rare perfect moments in life where you can’t think of anything else you could possibly want to add."
The privacy, the peace, the view, the hot tub (with daily service), the stove and the fairy lights - a heavenly retreat. Great hosts who have created something truly special and memorable here - thanks to Sykes for enabling this five star experience
-
"What a glorious find!"
Absolutely perfect for a getaway from it all break. Will definitely be returning in the future
-
"Amazing place, comfy & cosy with everything we could possibly need, Brenda & David were so welcoming and the shepherds pies were scrummy."
We will definitely be returning xx
-
"The complimentary homemade shepherd’s pie in the fridge on arrival for our first evening meal was a lovely touch and tasted amazing!"
Additionally there was a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. The robes and slippers came in very useful for the hot tub, which was beautiful to relax in after a long day walking! There are ample facilities to store and cook/prepare food so we had some breakfast at the hut each morning before heading out and then an evening meal on return. It was lovely to kick back and watch TV on the comfy bed after using the hot tub. The hut is isolated enough to enjoy the long views and sounds of the countryside. It’s approximately a 5-10 minute drive to get to the closest convenience store. I would definitely consider returning!
-
"We’ve been to Shepherds Hideaway twice this year, 3 times altogether, and really love it."
Set in a peaceful and tranquil environment, and accommodation is delightfully small and compact, but feels cosy and luxurious. And the added bonus? No wi-fi! So you truly can get away from it all. The hosts are very respectful of your privacy, but are very friendly and welcoming and are there if you need them. It’s an absolute pleasure to relax in the hot tub, and enjoy the wonderful scenery. We wouldn’t hesitate to go back again.
-
"Beter is have wifi because all people need a wifi."
. Tank you
-
"Everything was provided, we fully recommend getting the two day hamper!"
The owners were amazing and extremely helpful and friendly! Couldn’t of wished for a more perfect weekend. We will definitely stay again.
-
"Fabulous mini break in a most amazing Shepard’s hut nothing to fault it was perfect, highly recommended."
Definitely be returning
-
"Beautiful boho style hut that exceeded our expectations!"
The hut had everything we could possibly need for a relaxing time away! Would definitely recommend staying here and the shepherds pie was delicious!! Thank you!
-
"This place was just absolutely perfect for us."
The accommodation was really private. Despite there being other accommodation options, it was silent. It was like we were the only two people in the world. The view is gorgeous as is the Shepherd's hut and the hot tub was lovely. It was everything we could hope for and more. We are already thinking of a date to return!
-
"Where do we start?"
From the moment we arrived we were blown away by how magical this place was and we knew we were going to have the most amazing time. We were greeted with the warmest welcome from Brenda and Dave who are such a lovely couple and were on hand for anything we needed throughout our stay. They had also kindly decorated our hut for my fiancé’s 30th Birthday! They provided us with a 2 day food hamper on request which was filled with everything you could possibly think of or need for the duration of your stay, including produce from local shops and suppliers, and not forgetting all of the delicious home cooked and baked items from Brenda herself. We would highly recommend ordering the food hamper, not only was it convenient but everything was such amazing quality and so tasty! The complimentary Shepherd’s pie (which was out of this world by the way) and bottle of Prosecco was such a lovely touch! To access The Shepherd’s Hideaway you go through a small gap in the hedges and down a winding path lit with festoon lights until you reach the spectacular Hut which was made by Dave himself! The hut is decorated so tastefully and is fully equipped with modern appliances, cutlery, crockery and glassware including a log burner, TV, and your own private hot tub with incredible views of the sunset over Scotland. The complimentary fluffy robes and slippers were also great! As soon as we arrived we already knew we wanted to come back, and our parents have booked off the back of our glowing recommendation! We cannot wait for our next stay, thank you!
-
"A little piece of idyllic scenery for relaxation, together with fabulous Accomodation and great hosts."
Enjoyed it so much we’ve ready booked !!
-
"Shepherds Hideaway has everything you need for a short stay with lots of character in its’ design, inside and out."
The hot tub had amazing views including the sunset over the hills. The property is within driving distance of Hadrian's Wall, Carlisle Castle and the Lake District. The hosts are very friendly and welcomed us with a homemade shepherds pie and a bottle of prosecco on arrival. Definitely recommend staying here!
-
"Excellent service especially the welcoming Shepherds pies and gowns."
During our stay it was filled with peace,great views and happiness. Clean accommodation with pleasant and friendly owners Brenda and Dave. Cannot wait to stay again in the future ☺️
-
"What an absolute gem!"
My wife and I booked at High Rigg for our "mini-moon" (the original having been cancelled due to Covid-19). We were taken a back by everything about the accommodation. To get to it you disappear through an entrance in a beech hedgerow and follow the fairy lights festooned through the trees to the lodge - totally enchanting and even more beautiful when the sun goes down. The accommodation was of the highest standard and we were greeted with a homemade shepherds pie and a vegetable lasagne plus a bottle of prosecco courtesy of our hosts. The bed was supremely comfy and the log burner made the lodge super cosy. Everything was spotlessly clean and our privacy was maintained throughout our stay. Life didn't seem as if it could to get much better as we sat in the luxurious hot tub sipping on the finest champagne and admiring the endless views towards Scotland. We were so thoroughly taken with this lodge that we had already booked to stay again in 2022 before we set off back to reality. I for one, cannot recommend High Rigg highly enough
-
"Brilliant time away, couldn’t fault the place absolutely amazing."
Spoke to owners very quickly about parking the car and asked if everything was ok. Super clean, fresh bedding, robes and new slippers and towels provided. Had everything you need. Owners didn’t bother us at all, secluded and out of the way with fantastic views. The hot tub was unreal, and the Shepard’s pie was so amazing and yummy. Bottle of Prosecco on arrival was a lovely touch, will definitely be returning
-
"Wow..."
What an amazing place! The hut had everything we needed, from the kitchen equipment to the lovely solar lighting that lit your way. It was beautiful. We felt like we were in Narnia. It was so secluded with a beautiful view ...and most importantly, peace and quiet. The inside was so tastefully designed and furnished, really comfy bed and good shower. We shall definitely return!
-
"We have just had an amazing few days here, the hut is exactly what it says, a beautiful hideaway."
The owners were lovely and the Shepard’s pie on arrival was amazing. If you want to completely get away from it all in a fabulous Shepard’s hut with the most amazing views then this is definitely the place to visit. We had the best honeymoon that we will always remember.
-
"A beautiful, peaceful and private location to relax."
There is also plenty to do locally from Hadrians Wall to the Lake Disctrict, Keilder Forest and Keilder Water. We are likely to book again.
-
"We loved our stay here!"
It was our honeymoon and there was a shepherd's pie and Prosecco waiting for us in the fridge. Hot tub has stunning views and is a great place to watch the sunset from. The place is clean and cosy, with everything we need. One thing to note, the listing said it had wifi but it doesn't... but this didn't affect our enjoyment of our stay because we came to disconnect :) Thank you so much, 10/10, would recommend to everyone!
-
"A lovely setting, the second time we stayed here."
Highly recommend.
-
"Beautiful location!"
Such a cute lodge and decorated with love. The hot tub overlooks fields which makes for fantastic views at all times of day and night. You have everything you need in one place. The owners are lovely from what we witnessed, we didn't get to speak properly with the current situation. Will return 100%!!!
-
"Lovely cabin on arrival all the lights where lit up and looked so pretty, everything inside was clean and the homemade shepherd's pie and bottle of bubbly was a great extra touch."
The cabin was well secluded over looking the countryside. Couldn't recommend this place enough to family and friends, the cabin was well kitted out and lots of thought has gone into the décor in and around the cabin. Would love to return soon!
-
"This Shepherds Hide Away is exactly that, it is very secluded."
Stunning view and a very cosy retreat away from the world. The accomodation is very small as expected but has everything you need for a lovely mini break. It's set in beautiful grounds and the couple who own it are so welcoming and friendly. The fizz and shepherds pie went down a treat. Be sure to pop into the shop on site Gardenalia we bought some Halloween and Christmas bits and bobs...all very pretty. We are hoping to return in December fingers crossed we are not in lockdown.
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the hideaway."
The lodge itself was beautiful and exceeded our expectations. The fizz and Shepard’s pie on arrival was an extra surprise that topped off the experience. Owners were very helpful and available when needed. The hot tub and log fire also made our trip. We have already recommended to family and friends, a definite 10/10.
-
"It was fab!"
Brenda and David made us feel so at home with their personal touches of shepherds pie and fizz. So private and secluded, just what you want on a relaxing get away. We will definitely be back!
-
"Thoroughly enjoyed our holiday hideaway."
The Shepherds hut was lovingly decorated and cosy. The bottle of fizz and Shepherds pie was a real unexpected treat on our arrival. Will definitely be back, thank you Brenda and David
-
"It is a beautiful hut very well equipped and very private."
The hot tub was excellent One little niggle there is a wall cupboard with nothing underneath so kept banging my head on it and the bathroom is exceptionally small.
-
"A lovely,secluded hideaway."
We felt totally relaxed and we looked forward to the hot tub after a day out. Immaculate and clean and everything we needed. Thank you Brenda and David who were very friendly and helpful.
-
"Lovely little get-away."
Nice touches of the owners with the shepherds pie an prosecco. Really lovely an polite. And very helpful. Would recommend to anyone. May even book again sometime soon.
-
"Owners Brenda and David are extremely friendly, helpful and welcoming."
The holiday accommodation was perfect it was very clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and the hot tub was amazing. I will definitely book again
-
"We stayed at the Shepherd’s Hideaway for 3 nights and would absolutely recommend it to anyone."
We loved everything about it and it felt like being at home and on holiday at the same time. We will definitely be returning again next year!
-
"From start to finish it has been absolutely amazing and the lovely owners made us feel more than welcome."
. The hut and hot tub are absolutely perfect we will definitely be booking again at some point.. I would highly recommend for anyone wanting either a relaxing break or if you like walking there's lots of lovely scenery around.. 10 out of 10
-
"This is possibly the loveliest place we have ever stayed."
I was worried when I first booked as it was an impulse booking but I had nothing to worry about it. Its cute, cosy, modern, stylish, with a very nice hot tub. The first night we had a view of a stunning sunset from our hot tub. Although, due to covid our hosts couldn't meet us on arrival. Brenda spotted us pulling up after our day out and stopped for a chat. What a truly lovely person she is! I cant pick one fault with this accommodation. The shepherd's hideaway is set back behind a walkway of bushes which adds a special romantic feel. I would 100% book again!
-
"High Rigg Shepherd's Hideaway was much bigger than we expected and fantastically decorated."
The whole place was spotlessly clean and fully kitted out with everything we needed. The hut is in a private clearing that is circled by trees and has a fantastic view out over the countryside. The outdoor hot tub was great and the fairy lights around the trees were a lovely touch. We had a great time using the bbq too. Brenda and David were excellent hosts and very responsive. Would definitely recommend!

About the location
BRAMPTON, CUMBRIA
Carlisle 10 miles.
The market town of Brampton is the ideal base for exploring Hadrian’s Wall. The town boasts a rich and colourful history going back to the Roman occupation, Border reivers from Scotland and the Jacobite uprisings, plus bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters in one of the old buildings in Brampton. In the centre of the town is Moot Hall, which was built in 1817, and now houses the Tourist Information Centre, and there is a large motte to the east of the town, which is 135 feet high and has the statue of the 7th Earl of Carlisle on it. A few miles outside Brampton is Talkin Tarn Country Park. It covers 120 acres of farmland and woodland, 65 of which make up the Tarn, a 10,000 year old glacial lake, fed by underwater springs. Two miles away is Gelt Woods, which is an ancient woodland and RSPB nature reserve and has the River Gelt running through it. Brampton is a wonderful base for exploring this historic and scenic area.
