The details

From the moment you arrive at Brackenslack Shepherd’s Huts, it’s clear this is glamping done properly. Set in the heart of the Eden Valley, each beautifully crafted hut offers uninterrupted countryside views and a private outdoor space complete with a copper bathtub for two, inviting you to soak beneath open skies as the sun sets or stars begin to appear.

Inside, these thoughtfully designed huts strike the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. Each one sleeps two guests and features a sumptuous king size bed, cosy log burner and warm, stylish interiors inspired by the surrounding landscape. Whether it’s Crosby’s calming woodland tones, Meaburn’s cheerful floral touches or Morland’s rich wildlife-inspired palette, every hut has its own personality while maintaining a sense of calm and luxury throughout.

The open-plan living space is cleverly laid out to maximise comfort, with a well-equipped kitchenette that includes everything you need for relaxed, self-catered stays. A breakfast bar offers the perfect perch for slow mornings with coffee, while the ensuite shower room, complete with fluffy towels and toiletries, adds an extra layer of indulgence. With Smart TVs, Starlink WiFi and soft lighting, you can stay connected or simply switch off entirely.

Step outside and you’ll find your own private sanctuary. Fire up the BBQ, sway gently in the hammock or settle in beside the fire pit as dusk falls. The huts are carefully positioned to ensure complete privacy, meaning you can fully unwind without interruption. Whether visiting in summer for long, golden evenings or in winter for cosy nights by the fire, this is a year-round retreat designed for relaxation and romance.

Beyond your hut, the surrounding area offers plenty to explore. The Lake District and Yorkshire Dales are both within easy reach, offering endless opportunities for walking, cycling and wild swimming. Closer to home, the charming market town of Appleby-in-Westmorland is just a short drive away, with independent shops, cosy pubs and scenic riverside walks waiting to be discovered.
