    “We had a lovely stay at the retreat.”

    Perfect setting. The hut has everything you need & was clean & fresh. The exterior is looking dated & I can understand why some reviews say it looks nothing like the photos because it doesn’t. A freshen up outside would make all the difference. Update the advertising photos. The owner came & introduced himself & we also asked for extra tea & coffee which was hand delivered within minutes. Above & beyond service, thankyou

The property

Enjoying a secluded position on the outskirts of the market town of Brampton, near the majestic land of the North Pennines AONB is this outstanding hideaway, High Rigg Shepherd's Retreat.

This shepherd’s hut is perfect for a couple seeking to explore Cumbria or simply get away from it all to enjoy a romantic retreat together.

After situating your car within the allocated off-road parking space, a short walk up the endearing pathway will bring you to this elegantly-styled dwelling.

On arrival, be drawn in by the home-made shepherd’s pie that awaits you within the open-plan living room, where a woodburning stove offers a sense of tranquillity during those chiller evenings.

This small, yet well-appointed space comes with a kitchen area for rustling up your own tasty treats, a dining space and a plush king-size bed waiting to be sunk into after an action-packed day.

During a balmy afternoon, enjoy a spot of alfresco dining whilst sipping a local gin and admiring your rural surroundings before continuing around the corner to dip into the bubbling hot tub.

Look forward to opening up the fizz that’s awaiting you in the wine bucket, roast some marshmallows and curl up with your partner in front of the fire pit with throws wrapped around you as the evening grows darker and before you retire to the evening’s embrace.

As you wake up, look forward to tucking into the locally sourced breakfast, with something to suit each appetite.

About the location

BRAMPTON, CUMBRIA

Carlisle 10 miles.

The market town of Brampton is the ideal base for exploring Hadrian’s Wall. The town boasts a rich and colourful history going back to the Roman occupation, Border reivers from Scotland and the Jacobite uprisings, plus bonnie Prince Charlie established his headquarters in one of the old buildings in Brampton. In the centre of the town is Moot Hall, which was built in 1817, and now houses the Tourist Information Centre, and there is a large motte to the east of the town, which is 135 feet high and has the statue of the 7th Earl of Carlisle on it. A few miles outside Brampton is Talkin Tarn Country Park. It covers 120 acres of farmland and woodland, 65 of which make up the Tarn, a 10,000 year old glacial lake, fed by underwater springs. Two miles away is Gelt Woods, which is an ancient woodland and RSPB nature reserve and has the River Gelt running through it. Brampton is a wonderful base for exploring this historic and scenic area.
