The yurts were clean and the bedding was lovely and thick so were nice and warm.

Shepherd's hut (no pets)
Liked: Place was amazing. The hut was very cosy and well equipped for our needs. Everything was spot on, from the quiet site to the warm and powerful enough private showers. Honestly we cant fault the place

Liked: The location was amazing, wonderful views of the fells.
Great to have comfy beds and duvets and a nice log burner to keep us warm. The outdoor fire pit was great too and so good to have logs available to buy.
The enclosed field was perfect for my kids and dog so we could relax while they had fun.

Liked: We loved our 2 night stay here, wish it could have been longer. Everything you need is in the spotlessly clean, beautifully decked out yurt, perfect for good and bad weather, I felt like I’d been to a retreat after our time here. Great views and so peaceful. We will definitely be returning.
