We enjoyed our stay at the shepherd's hut - particularly watching the sun set , sheep graze and clouds scud across the sky

The location is just outstanding. If you like hiking you can start right off your doorstep, on the foot of the great Skiddaw. The sheep greeted me in the morning and the view toward Derwent Water is lovely.
Our stay here was everything we had hoped for and more. Idyllic setting, relaxing in and out of the hut in the fresh air with outstanding views of Bassenthwaite Lake and surrounding countryside. A fantastic place to unwind totally.
Nothing was too much trouble for our host Matt. We would love to come back and will be recommending this hut to our family and friends.
We arrived a little early (just to park up) so we could go for a walk in the surrounding area and Matthew was only too happy to let us check-in early as the hut was ready - this really helped us make the most of our 3 night stay. The hut was comfy, clean, well equipped and we even managed to make use of the fire pitt one night! Absolutely stunning views from the moment you arrive, from the door step and even through the windows of the hut when you're going to bed and when you wake up! Loads of good walks / footpaths in the area and a nice pub in Bassenthwaite - we'll definitely be returning!!
The stay exceeded all expectations. The hut was surprsingly spacious, and a lovely place to stay. The fact you literally overlooked nothing but fields was beautiful, the little lambs were right outside our door. We stayed so we could walk Skiddaw and we literally set off from the hut straight up through the field. I cant recommend this place enough, Matt was brilliant and nothing was too much of an ask. We will 100% be back again.
We were delighted with our stay at Matthew’s wonderfully located shepherd’s hut overlooking beautiful Bassenthwaite lake and at the foot of majestic Skiddaw mountain. The accommodation was easy to access with car parking directly outside and well equipped so we were able to effortlessly whip up an evening meal and eat it outside on our secluded garden area watching the sun set. The large double bed was cosy and comfortable so we slept well after enjoying nearby lake swimming and glorious lakeland walking. Matthew was very helpful and communication was organised and efficient. Thoroughly recommend!
Couldn’t fault a single thing about our stay here! We were allowed to bring our cat along too, she had the best time! Beautiful scenery around the accommodation, only short drive from lakes etc. would love to stay here again! Matthew the host has been very helpful and kind, very highly recommend!
