Shabby Shepherds

This place was incredible! Outside from the fire pit / seating it has panoramic views of the Eden Valley, inside its beautifully furnished with everything you need. We also loved the little touches like fresh eggs and selection of eco toiletries. It feels like you have the whole valley to yourself but youre in the perfect spot to explore the Lake District while missing the crowds. If you just want to escape you can certainly do it here. Cook in the unit or on the fire pit. Enjoy the silence with a book. Feed the Alpacas. Take a (very) short walk to the village and see the historic church or pub. Take a longer walk down the valley to the river where you can swim or fish. I honestly cant rate this place highly enough!

We had a pleasure to visit this amazing place. The hut is brilliant and is fully equipped from dishes to cosmetics. The bed is comfy. Simon and Viv prepared the welcoming set (a homemade bread, milk, butter, free-range eggs and jams) so it was really nice. You can find the board games and blankets in the cupboard and the eco cosmetics in the bathroom. The cosy hut is located on the Eden Valley so you can enjoy stunning views. There is also a firepit. Simon and Viv gave us opportunity of meeting and feeding their animals (the alpacas, sheep, hens and horses) that were ours neighbours. Could it be better? Hosts are kind and helpfull and make your stay unforgettable. I recomend this place for everyone.

Our experience of staying at Shabby Shepherd's was exceptional. The location of the hut was perfect for exploring Cumbria and then returning to hang out at the hut overlooking the beautiful scenery. Simon and Viv were extremely welcoming - we felt at ease and relaxed instantly and their warm welcome played a huge factor. They have some great tips for local walks and eateries, and they really gave a sense of community spirit. The hut itself had everything we needed for a cosy stay, including an extremely comfortable bed and lovely welcome treats. We can't thank our hosts enough, including Bryan the sheep.
