This charming shepherd's hut offers spectacular fell views and serves as the perfect retreat for couples seeking a romantic getaway or walking adventure in the quieter northern region of the Lake District. What makes this property special is its thoughtful design combined with the convenience of an on-site tea room where you can pre-order evening meals. Set within the grounds of a tea room on the fringes of the small village of Uldale, the hut provides immediate access to walks in the Caldbeck Fells, offering a peaceful escape from busier areas of the national park.
Step up four wooden steps onto the decking to enter this beautifully finished retreat through traditional farmhouse-style stable doors. The open-plan interior features a compact cooking area with a small hob, fridge/freezer and microwave, alongside a bistro table for dining. Light the wood burner and relax on the comfortable sofa while watching the Smart TV, with electric heating ensuring year-round warmth. At the far end, a king-size bed promises restful nights after days spent in the fresh air. The compact shower room includes a shower and WC. Outside, the raised deck offers outdoor furniture and spectacular fell views - ideal for morning coffee. Private parking for one car is provided in the grounds.
