The hut is as described on the website - no nasty surprises. Views are stunning even in the rain. Plenty of space to bbq / camp fire outside. It is quite remote spot which is what we were looking for and if there had been no cloud Iâm sure the star show wouldâve been spectacular.
Had a great stay at the hut, everything you could possibly need, very clean, cosy, fabulous views and piece & quiet. Host came to say hello, lovely & friendly .. will definitely be back
Would definitely recommend.
We had a great stay in Croft Head, the views are amazing, and it was lovely to see the lambs every morning! The hut had everything we needed for our short stay and we probably would have used the fire pit on an evening if the weather had been kinder.
All very good ,
Huts were exceptional and host was very friendly and welcoming.
It was a great base for peace quiet and relaxation exploring the area.
Would thoroughly recommend
Just returned from couple of nights in Matthew's Shepherd Hut.
Stunning location, breathtaking views, immaculate accomodation, first class host.
What's not to love.
Cant wait to return
We had an amazing stay! Everything was perfect.. beautiful area and the Shepard's hut had everything we needed, sadly there was another shepherds hut next to us and we was under the impression we would be totally alone BUT overall gorgeous place to stay!
We were looking for a quiet and relaxing couple of days and the Shepherds hut gave us just that. It was small and very cozy. It was warm on arrival which was very welcoming. If i were to give some feedback i would say that a couple of side lamps would be helpful. Overall an excellent stay.
Fabulous little getaway. A beautiful, well thought out location where you can truly unwind and explore the outstanding local area.
Refreshing to get 'what it say on the tin' so to speak.
Thank you!
We really enjoyed this property. For a cozy space itâs very well equipped and is so well designed it felt spacious. It was so peaceful we loved waking up next to the sheep and enjoying morning coffee outside with views of the lake. Our host was very helpful with showing us a short cut through his property to start a walk. Check in and out very easy. Would stay again.
This property was all that we expected. Clean, beautifully decorated and had all the amenities we could need. And on top of that the stunning setting. Just a short drive to lots of beautiful walks and Keswick town centre. We will be back.
Stayed here for 2 nights while in the Lakes, absolutely stunning views and location while just a short drive to Keswick. The cabin is clean and well presented and Matt, the host is welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended watching the unset from here on an evening and then watching the Lambs bounce around the field in the morning. We will most likely be back.
What a perfect break away. Spotlessly clean shepherds hut. Facilities as described. Dog friendly owners. Miles of walks and a short drive to the town. 1000% will return. Perfect get away.
Just what we wanted. The location -- a Lakeland sheep farm -- is beautiful and quiet, completely away from it all. Stunning views over the valley.
The shepherd's hut was just as you see it in the photos: for our requirements it was well appointed and had everything we needed. The farmer, Matt, was really nice and helpful but also left us to ourselves.
We loved our stay and would highly recommend.
