“Perfect Getaway!!!”

We arrived to the site in the evening after a super foggy drive, we spoke to the owner quickly and at a distance (due to coronavirus) to find out where to park our car for our shepherds hut.

We arrived to the site in the evening after a super foggy drive, we spoke to the owner quickly and at a distance (due to coronavirus) to find out where to park our car for our shepherds hut. The car is parked out of the way and nearby the back of the house which was decorated beautifully with christmas decor. The hut is situated behind the shop that is on site, unfortunately we never got chance to go into this shop but it did look lovely. Behind the shop is a line of trees, a beautiful enchanting walkway to the back of the hut and BAM, you are there! The heating was on, and the lights to light up our path made us feel amazing as soon as we arrived. Im not a fan of shepherds pie but this shepherds pie that was provided was UNREAL. Could eat that everyday for the rest of my life... The hut was beautifully done to a high standard, the bed was really comfortable and the shower pressure was amazing. The hot tub was amazing after a long day out in the cold. The location is right in the middle for the North Penines and the upper part of the Lake District. I would 100% recommend and i would 100% return! Thank you!

“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.

“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!

Mr Oreilly July 2020

“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 raiders 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.
