About this property
Tucked away just seven miles east of Carlisle and a stone's throw away from the village of Wetheral, this delightful shepherd's hut boasts a wonderful position for exploring the whole of Cumbria. With open country views and a charming woodland setting, High Rigg Shepherd's Hut is well-suited to couples looking for a romantic break away together. Pop open a bottle of fizz left for you on arrival and enjoy a real treat with your loved one, either out on the decking or while eating a home-cooked shepherd's pie at the dining table. You have a lovely seating area at the foot of the king-size double bed and a well-appointed kitchen for rustling up romantic dinners. Open the French doors on a sunny day and let the outside in while you delve into a good book or simply take in the views. There is also a shower room to complete the interior in a stylish and modern fashion. Separating you from the rippling lake and the decking area to the front, is a balcony enclosing a wonderful outdoor space, so you can recline on a lovely summer's day and sip a cooling beverage. Climb into the hot tub and make the most of being out in the open countryside in all weathers, with the advantage of having a roof over the deck to shelter you from the wind. Tucked behind the decking is a small grassy area with a handy storage cupboard for stowing away any additional belongings.

We were away for our Birthday and took our wee dog with us. Cabin was decorated really nicely and had everything we needed already there. Bed was super comfy and we had a great sleep. Nice touch with our gift of a bottle of fizz and two pies - which were so tasty! Thank you! The weather wasnât great while we were there but we still had a nice relaxing time and the nature around us was so nice, even spotted a bat and an owl at night! The only thing I would detail is that I wouldnât class it as âdog friendlyâ only because the area isnât closed off for the dog to be let off the lead to run around freely! Other than that the space is looked after, nice big area to wander around and the wee pond with the ducks and babies was so nice to wake up to.
