We got amazing value for our money at this secret gem in the beautiful Eden Valley. The shepherds hut was beautifully appointed with special touches and the panoramic views were amazing. The hosts were really nice, giving us local recommendations and even gifting us a bottle of Prosecco for our anniversary. Plus, sitting out by the fire pit at night was pure magic.
The hotel breakfast menu could have had a wider variety of options.

I had the most amazing time at this cozy shepherd hut overlooking the stunning Eden Valley. the hosts, Simon and Viv, were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make our anniversary special. They even surprised us with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco! Their recommendations for local activities were spot, on, and we thoroughly enjoyed meeting and feeding their adorable animals. the hut itself was top, notch, with high, quality fittings and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I can't recommend this place highly enough and can't wait to return!
Can't fault the property in any way! 👍.

The hut was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. the hosts, Simon and Viv, went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect. the location was ideal for exploring Cumbria and the views from the hut were breathtaking. We particularly enjoyed feeding the animals and toasting marshmallows on the fire pit. a truly wonderful experience.
Felt super comfortable, no complaints.

My recent stay at Shabby Shepherds was absolutely perfect! The cozy shepherd hut had top quality fittings and overlooked the stunning Eden Valley, offering spectacular views. I loved sitting by the fire pit under the big umbrella, even if it rained. The presence of alpacas, sheep, horse, and chickens added an extra charm to the experience. Simon and Viv, the hosts, were incredibly welcoming and provided great recommendations for places to visit. I can't wait to return to this little piece of heaven!

I gotta say, we got amazing value for our money at this place. The room was cozy and well-equipped, with everything from dishes to eco-friendly cosmetics. The location was amazing, with fine panoramic views of the Eden Valley. And the staff?
The breakfast option could have been better, maybe a wider selection would be nice.

What a fantastic stay at Shabby Shepherds! I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful location to unwind and enjoy the fine views of the Eden Valley. The shepherds hut itself was wonderful, with its charming decor and all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was being able to feed the horses and alpacas, it made my stay here even more special. And let's not forget about toasting marshmallows on the fire pit, it was such a good experience.
