Nothing! Everything was a short drive or walk away.

We had a lovely stay at the Shabby Shephards hut. The facilities in the hut are great, it’s a beautiful and private location, plus the owners are lovely and helpful! We had some freshly baked bread and some eggs on arrival and they were both great. We also loved the opportunity to meet and feed the animals on site. We would love to come back again in the future!

Absolutely nothing. It was just magical.

If your life is as busy as ours, then this is for you. The epitome of peace and tranquillity! From the secluded location (a field all to yourself), with the best neighbours I have ever encountered: some ryeland sheep, horses, and a trio of alpacas that all greet you in the morning. If that isn't enough, you get the most beautiful breath taking landscape. A sky full of stars, blankets, and a fire pit only gets better with the marshmallows included. The hut is just wonderful. Every little detail is thought about, from the decor to the fresh eggs and bread when we arrived. This place was a real haven to gather our thoughts, relax, and embrace some quality time away from life. I couldn't recommend Shabby Shepherds enough!

Nothing everything was perfect

The host was amazing. We got freshly baked bread and free-range eggs, and they were more than helpful in anything we wanted. The accommodation was spotless and very well kept.

Met all expectations so there was nothing we didnt like. Didn’t like we had to leave so soon.

There wasn’t anything not to like. Had an amazing time over new year period. Was cosy and warm inside with an amazing view. Would recommend who is wanting to stay in a Shepards hut near the lakes to stay in shabby Shepard's.

A very cute cabin just overlooking the eden valley surrounded by a beautiful farm with the cutest Alpacas and hens. The homemade bread was delicious and the sightseeing recommendations were spot on. Amazing hosts. Will definitely come back.

10 out of 10! Our stay was amazing from start to finish, Simon was an exceptional host he welcomed us with a fresh loaf of bread that he had personally made that day, then showed us round the hut but also introduced us to all the animals who were also so friendly and gentle, one particular hen greeted us at the gate when we came home one day and walked us to the hut! Simon also recommended a lovely pub just a couple of minutes walk away where we had a gorgeous 3 course meal and also kindly helped us with our trips that we had planned. The hut itself was absolutely perfect, they really pay attention to detail with things such as fresh hens eggs from the hens they have on site, butter and milk in the fridge even marshmallows to toast on the fire pit, it was so cosy but practical inside and the views were just beautiful. Just exactly what we needed, we will definitely be back!!

Excellent stay. The shepherds hut was well laid out and very comfortable with all mod cons, including full size shower and toilet. The location was tip top with peace and quiet and fantastic views right from your front door, but with a good pub 5 minutes down the road And the hosts Simon & Viv were very welcoming indeed. I'd heartily recommend.

That we had to come home at the end of our stay

An amazing experience from beginning to end. Viv and Simon were very pleasant and helpful, stunning views and lovely accommodation. The shepherd's hut was more spacious than we anticipated and was everything we hoped for and more.

The shower could have had a bit more pressure, but was ok.

Great views and surroundings, everything was perfect. Feeding the alpacas was a very nice experience.

It’s very cute, ideal for a couple wanting to go on walks or drive over to the Lake District. Lacy’s cave was a local walk we would recommend. Ideal location for a peaceful getaway

Extremely helpful, friendly hosts. Beautifully finished accommodation and idyllic location. Lots of lovely little touches - wine, bread, eggs left for us. Animal food so we could feed the alpacas and plenty of wood for the firepit. It was lovely to be able to sit out and stargaze on a cool October evening.

Absolutely stunning location! Hosts 11/10, so friendly and nothing was any trouble. The animals were as friendly as the host. It really was perfect

EVERYTHING! The chalet itself had everything we could possibly need. Including kindly leaving us eggs from the chickens, fresh bread and Prosecco for my birthday. The pull down bed was very comfy and all the amenities were spotless and great to use.
