Betty shepherd's hut
Liked: Lovely warm welcome.
Space between cabins for our dog.
Kindly informed other people staying about our dog- understanding owners.
Well equipped kitchen
Clean toilets
No WiFi which was a nice break- why I gave the WiFi 5 stars as had none!!
Nice place to try first 'off grid experience'
Disliked: Can't think off any.

Betty shepherd's hut
Liked: We had a lovely 1 night stay here, myself and my daughter came for a treat!
My daughter loved the fire pit and particularly enjoyed all the animals.
It was very peaceful and a cosy little hut - the lovely hosts also contacted us to prior to arriving to say they had changed our hut to one with a log fire due to the weather becoming more chillier, which was lovely.
We will back at some point to enjoy the lovely peace and quiet again 😊.
Thank you again!

Ruby shepherd's hut
Liked: A lovely welcome on arrival, helpful, friendly and informative. The hut was amazing everything we needed warm and comfortable.
We highly recommend a stay at foxwold huts and will return some day.
Disliked: Just one tiny thing we found was the steps in and out the hut were alittle narrow/small under foot and made it alittle scary coming out of the hut. Overall this didn't particularly affect our stay or upset.

Thomas shepherd's hut
Liked: Absolutely gorgeous stay. Our hosts were so hospitable and welcoming giving clear directions to the site. The shepherds hut was perfect for our needs with a cosy log burner and comfy bed. We felt very at ease and relaxed, exactly what we needed. Puppies, dogs, horses, shooting stars, what more can you ask for!
Such a great family orientated business, would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thanks again!

Thomas shepherd's hut
Liked: What a little gem this place is😍 it’s such a beautiful small site, the little huts & layout of the site are perfect. I loved the fact we didn’t need to bring much as it’s all provided for you. Loved the shelter cooked area to protect you from the English weather. The perfect place to relax and very close to lots of different hiking trails.
What I will say is remember to bring a power bank to charge electricals as there are no plug sockets.

George shepherd's hut
Liked: We had a wonderful couple of days stay here, with our Black Lab, staying in the George cabin. The weather wasn't the best, but the cosy huts were superb in keeping us warm and dry. It was the dog's first time camping, and he loved the grassy area to run around freely on. We accidentally brought all our camping gear, such as a cooker, pots and pans- the kitchen areas come fully equipped, and made our experience so much better, especially with fresh water taps attached to the huts. The compost toilets are the best maintained I've ever seen, and the outdoor shower is really good too. Give it a try!
Joan took care of us, and she was amazing! Such a friendly face, who was more than happy to answer any questions we had. Other reviews mention the hospitality being great, and I couldn't agree more.
It's a beautiful area too, so perfect if you want to drive and do some good hikes or walks. Lowther Castle is stunning, and is a must! Really hope to be back.

George shepherd's hut
Liked: The hut was extremely cozy, containing everything we needed. Outdoor kitchen had everything and gas stove was perfect. Really enjoyed the outdoor area and the fire pit topped it off. Hosts were brilliant and stopped off a couple of times to check we were ok, it was such a peaceful place, exactly what was needed.
Disliked: Nothing, it was exactly what we wanted and had everything we needed.
