Unplug from digital distractions at this shepherd’s hut, set on the grounds of a Grade I-listed hall. Location-wise, it’s just over a mile from Greystoke village and 4 miles from the Lake District, making it an ideal base for exploring Cumbria’s unspoilt Eden Valley. Compact yet well-appointed, it’s the perfect bolthole for a couple or solo traveller. There’s a breakfast hamper to get you started and a picnic table by the stream for lunches alfresco. Complimentary logs and charcoal are provided for the fire pit or barbecue, and your host can even help arrange activities like clay pigeon shooting and cycle hire on the wider estate.

Home truths:
*Due to the rural location, we recommend having a car for ease of getting around. There’s an allocated parking space on-site and wagons for guest luggage are available.
*The host recommends that guests bring a torch as the gravel driveway leading to the home is unlit.
*Please don’t use hairdryers here as they can trip the fuses on the solar power system.
*An infant under 12 months old is welcome to join you here.
*The bed is against the wall and can only be accessed from one side.
*Please be aware there's no wi-fi at this home.
