“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

Miss Jones September 2021

“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!

Mr Goddard August 2021

“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.

“Beautiful boho style hut that exceeded our expectations!”

Miss Collis June 2021

“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!

- Miss Collis, June 2021
Miss Howard June 2021

“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!

Mr Dixon May 2021

“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!

- Mr Dixon, May 2021
Miss Matthews May 2021

“Excellent service especially the welcoming Shepherds pies and gowns.”

Mr Adams May 2021

“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

Miss Metcalfe May 2021

“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

- Miss Metcalfe, May 2021
Ms Horrocks-taylor April 2021

“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!

- Ms Horrocks-taylor, April 2021
Mrs Morgan April 2021

“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.

- Mrs Morgan, April 2021
Miss Beadman April 2021

“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.

- Miss Beadman, April 2021
Mr Vincent April 2021

“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!

- Mr Vincent, April 2021

“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%!!!

- Miss Wallis, October 2020
Mr Wilkinson October 2020

“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!

- Mr Wilkinson, October 2020
Mr Wells October 2020

“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.

- Mr Wells, October 2020
Miss Haigh October 2020

“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.

- Miss Haigh, October 2020
Miss Sillett October 2020

Miss Holmes July 2020

“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!

- Miss Holmes, July 2020
Mr O'reilly 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 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.
