"The whole experience was amazing from start to finish."
The shepherds pie and wine was a lovely touch. Everything you needed was in the hut. The hot tub was amazing and warm enough to use throughout the whole stay. Very private. I would definitely recommend for a relaxing stay
-
"A lovely little gem in a beautiful setting!"
Comfy, cosy, peaceful, well equipped, great explanation of directions on your welcome email. Recommendations would be to add a corkscrew, as we had some wine we brought with us that we couldn't open in the end, that's all we missed though, as everything else was thought of, even a torch and lighter!
-

"The property was amazing and the location and views were astounding."
Well looked after, the owners checked on us to see if we needed anything and the shepards pies we got were delicious. Would definitely recommend to others and will look at coming again to this beautifully located property with hot tub which was lovely after a long day of being out and about.

"Fantastic accomodation and stay in a beautiful location."
-
"Absolutely loved our stay here!"
The hut was so peaceful and relaxing. It had all the standard ammenities in the property so you only need to pack some food. It backed onto a field of cows so if you take your dog I'd keep that in mind as they do come close to the fence. Really enjoyed the shepherd's pie too, was a lovely touch.
-

"An absolute find of the place."
Truly beautiful and peaceful. The owners were tentative with their service and the homemade pies on arrival, was a lovely touch. We will definitely go back again and was worth the 375 mile journey. This site won't allow a picture, but it is beautiful.

"This place is a gem, lovely little cabin with hot tub."
Travel light clothes wise as there is not much space inside for hanging clotges etc! But the cabin has all the home comforts required. Wood burning stove is an asset and kept it very cosy. Really appreciated the prosecco and shepherds pie the first night. All in all a lovely spot for a chilled break.
-

"Booked for our 10th anniversary and it didn’t disappoint in any way."
We wanted solitude and just us time and spent our time just relaxing when we weren’t hiking around the area. 11/10, I wish I was closer as we would be regulars! Thank you so much, absolutely perfect!
-
"We had such a relaxing stay!"
The hut was just perfect, the view was beautiful and it lived up to its name, as the sunsets were just spectacular! The first night we arrived after a long 6-hour drive to a lovely Shepherd's pie and bottle of pink fizz. We couldn't fault it, we had such a lovely week and the owners were really friendly. 100% would stay here again.
-
"Such a beautiful shepherds hut, very cosy."
Lovely view from the decking and good access to local walks, not too far from Hadrian's wall either! Would definitely recommend for a little getaway, and would definitely stay again :)
-
"A lovely place to get away and relax!"
! Stunning views and loved having a hot tub!! Very peaceful and the owners made us a shepherd's pie which was very yummy!! They even gave us a bottle of fizz!! The place had lots of character and was very charming!! Would 100% stay again and recommend to anyone else interested in staying!!
-
"Exactly what is advertised, a nice relaxing getaway!"
You can go on a nice peaceful walk through the country in the day, and come back to a lovely warm hot tub in the evening. To top it off, the hosts were very kind and helpful, and provided an amazing Shepherds Pie. Had an amazing time, even if the weather wasn’t the greatest!
-
"Had a great week in the Shepherd's sunset Hut."
Nice and clean and private. Met the owner who who gave us some tips on local things to do. Great base for Hadrians wall and the lake district. Not too far from the local shops if required. I would highly recommend this place.
-
"We had a lovely relaxing stay in the shepherd's sunset, the views where great and saying hello to the cows on a morning was a bonus."
The hut is well appointed and we slept great. Cant wait to book again !!!
-
"The cabin was amazing and so homely, it had an amazing view and we had such a perfect relaxing weekend and we will 100% be going back."
The owners are so lovely they couldn’t have made it a nicer experience for us, we are so thankful and can’t wait to go back
-
"We recently had the pleasure of staying at Shepheards Sunset for three nights."
Brenda and David extended a warm and genuine welcome, making us feel right at home. Their hospitality was exceptional, and their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our stay. The surprise of Shepheards pie and a bottle of fizz upon arrival was a thoughtful and welcoming touch, setting the tone for a memorable getaway. This lodge is set within a private garden which creates a real peaceful environment to relax in after exploring the many places the area has to offer. Overall, we can’t recommend this enough and have already booked our return.
-
"David, Brenda and Chris made us welcome from the moment we showed up at High Rigg."
Place was in a great location with fantastic views and was as good as expected with some nice little personal touches like Shepherds Pie and bottle of Fizz. Definitely will return.
-
"Only giving 5 stars as there is no 6 stars."
Had the best time, totally relaxed vibe, fantastic pub within walking distance and lots of places to explore. Met the lovely owner just as we were leaving after 3 days which made us feel very welcome and trusted with their property and our privacy respected. We knew they were only a few feet away if we required any help but didn’t as everything had instructions and was well thought through. Can’t wait to go back and although all the accommodations are In beautiful settings, I think ‘Sunset’ offers the best views and privacy. Congratulations on your vision.
-
"We had a great stay, Brenda and David both very helpful and welcoming, amazing views, great touch with the free fizz and amazing Shepard's pie, hot tub was bubbling hot and ready for arrival, fully stocked log fire which we made the most out of having it snow outside."
Lots of local walks, and views... Will be returning!
-
"Generally we loved the cabin."
It was so peaceful away from it all . Hot tub was brilliant & relaxing A few minor observations which didn’t spoil our stay & are intended to be constructive 1 A welcome letter from owner with a few simple instructions for heater, cooker etc would be good 2 There were some cobwebs above the chimney over the fire 3 Some form of clothes hanging/ storage would help As I say we enjoyed it but these would have made it even better
-
"We had a lovely relaxing stay at High Rigg last weekend."
The accommodation was beautiful and as described. The owners had thought of everything that you might need, including a filling meal and fizz for your first night. Shepherd's Sunset is located towards the back of the property, down a little walkway so there are no passing cars, if it wasn't for the cows and the cats you wouldn't see another soul. The views were stunning and would change with the seasons. The hot tub is under cover so can be enjoyed whatever the weather. Lastly, the owner is a lovely friendly and helpful chap. I have already recommended this little gem to friends and colleagues, it's perfect!
-
"Outstanding Mini-moon break @ High Rigg Shepherds Sunset."
Beautifully done & all facilities required to make your stay so comfortable. Very private & the hot tub was such a great relax after a day out.We did struggle to find it at first, but just gave the owner a quick call & he kindly gave us further instructions. A lovely touch was the shepherds pie waiting in the oven and a chilled bottle of fizz. We popped up to Gretna Outlet for some shopping therapy, took a drive to Penrith & then into Pooley Bridge, which is beautiful with easy access to Ullswater. Do not hesitate, if you want a relaxing few days away in beautiful surroundings then please choose this accommodation. Thank you for a wonderful break. Julie & Darren

"The owners were on holiday when we went to the lodge."
However, the son made us feel welcomed and made sure any issues were rectified. The only issue was the fire alarm kept sounding, but this was fixed immediately. The lodge itself was very comfortable with everything you need, from pots and pans to utensils. The hot tub was serviced everyday and was needed after a long day of walking. We did meet the owner on the last day and he was very friendly. The nights were silent and relaxing which made the stay even better.
-
"Beautiful property, well maintained with everything you need."
Would definitely recommend shepherds sunset as it is more secluded than some of the others. We loved the hot tub and the cows!!
-

"Had a fantastic time at High Rigg, the owners David and Brenda are very welcoming and accomodating."
The accomodation we stayed in was comfortable, clean and secluded with great views and a relaxing atmosphere. I would highly reccomend it. We will be staying here again and are already looking at dates for later in the year. Fantastic!!
-
"Wow..."
..what a fantastic place to stay! The shepherd's hut was in a beautiful rural location and had a very private setting. Nothing was too much trouble and the owner allowed us to park my motorbike in the nearby barn. Lovely interior and the homemade shepherd's pie was delicious! We have already recommended the location to other friends and family. A perfect long birthday weekend for my partner and I.
-

"High Rigg is a gorgeous little getaway."
Beautifully situated and beautifully designed. Everything was lovely from the decor in the hut to the hot tub, secluded from other huts. The Shephards pie and bubbly were a welcome touch, especially as we arrived late on the Friday night. Will definitely visit again.

"What a wonderful place."
Gorgeous location. Warm welcome. Beautiful hut. It's the attention to detail that stands out. Everything has been carefully thought about. A meal ready to throw in the oven and a bottle of bubbly in the fridge when you arrive. Ready made up bags of firelighters and kindling for the wood burner. Towels, blankets and dressing gowns so you can make the most of the hot tub, even in winter. The whole place just feels immediately cosy. We had a wonderful weekend and we're looking forward to coming back.

"We both have stressful jobs so wanted a peaceful and relaxing weekend, the hut was perfect and attention to detail was amazing, clean and spotless, great facilities and lovely and warm, The hot tub was fantastic and relaxing."
We will be returning for sure in the summer to make use of outdoor space and bbq. The shepherd's pie was so tasty and a nice touch.

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.
