Sheep farming is part of the landscape in the Lake District so a shepherd’s hut is a fitting place to rest your head after an exhilarating day in the peaks. The humble hut has evolved from its origins as a practical shelter and our Cumbrian collection comes with some serious luxuries like hot tubs, roll-top baths and even one with an on-site swimming pool. As you channel your inner shepherd or shepherdess, look out for the ‘smiling’ Herdwick sheep that are synonymous with the Lakes. You’ll find yourself grinning back at them as you spend idyllic days exploring craggy mountains, vast lakes, ancient castles and picturesque villages.
Our shepherd’s huts in the Lake District are dotted across some of the most beautiful spots in the world-famous national park. We know how special these places are because we’ve inspected each one on your behalf. From your front door you’ll have instant access to hiking trails, watersports, and wildlife. But you can’t beat the moment you return home, kick off your walking boots and relax on the deck with a cool beer, against a backdrop of spectacular scenery.
Hark back to a simple, pastoral way of life in one of our wild and remote shepherd’s huts. They’re places to slow down, switch off and breathe in deep lungfuls of fresh country air as any lingering stress drifts away on the breeze.
If you care about the environment and are partial to organic farms and abundant wildlife, then you’ve come to the right place. Take a look at our most sustainable shepherd’s huts that don’t scrimp on comfort.
