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.
