About this property
Brampton 5.6 miles. Situated in the peaceful Heads Nook in Cumbria is High Rigg Shepherd's Sunset, an enchanting shepherd's hut boasting countryside views from the hot tub on the decking. With easy access to the market town of Brampton and the thriving Lake District National Park, this lodge makes for a perfect base for a couple or solo traveller to explore the area or stay in and relax in peace. On arrival at the lodge, park your car and make your way through the wooden-fence-lined path to reach your abode for the trip, adding to the naturistic feel in the area. Climb the step up to the decking and make your way inside to discover a convenient open-plan living space. Kick off your shoes and relax in front of the TV for a couple of hours while the woodburning stove gently roars in the background. From here, utilise the kitchen and whip up a delicious meal for your loved one to enjoy at the dining table over a glass of wine, or perhaps take your meals alfresco and admire the views while out on the decking. Enjoy a soak in the hot tub as the evening draws to a close, and when sleep calls, make your way inside to rest your eyes ahead of an adventurous day out.

The shepherds pie and wine was a lovely touch. Everything you needed was in the hut. The hot tub was amazing and warm enough to use throughout the whole stay. Very private. I would definitely recommend for a relaxing stay

Comfy, cosy, peaceful, well equipped, great explanation of directions on your welcome email. Recommendations would be to add a corkscrew, as we had some wine we brought with us that we couldn't open in the end, that's all we missed though, as everything else was thought of, even a torch and lighter!
