High Rigg Shepherd's Sunset

We had a wonderful holiday surrounded by nature.

The lodge was lovely, comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The peace and quiet were exactly what we were looking for, and the beautiful sunsets every evening made our stay even more special. It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy nature and escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We would happily come back and can honestly recommend this place to everyone. We would definitely stay here again!

Peaceful, relaxing and tranquil exactly what we were looking for with pubs nearby and carlise a 10-15 min drive away.

A perfect base for the exploration of the lakes, loved it

Really enjoyed our stay.

Loved the hot tub being ready all the time. Only negative was the water pressure, sometimes no water if had showers first and flies!!

Lovely hut lovely views.

Everything was catered for. We made good use of the hot tub. Lovely robes and slippers were a very welcome touch. Along side the pies and presseco. Excellent area to visit the local scenery lakes and hadrians wall. The only thing was the barbed wire was not very substantial for stopping our dog entering the adjacent field but we managed to keep her out.

We stayed in Shepherds Sunset, which lived up to its name.

The hut was welcoming, very comfortable, everything you would ever need, amazing setting and wonderful hosts. We were also lucky enough to have fantastic weather. A real hidden gem

This place is very peaceful and was perfect for what we wanted.

The shepherd’s hut was amazing, with great views, and the owners were very helpful if we needed anything. We will definitely be returning at some point, especially for the shepherd’s pie! Perfect for a couple’s getaway.

Great hosts and a great place to relax and unwind.

The shepherd's pie and prosecco are a great touch.. we went during a cold spell and had to report no water. It was dealt with quickly and the frozen burst pipe was sorted within the hour and we were back online. The hot tub was clean and lovely and warm especially on those -2 degree days We would stay hear again in a heartbeat and have recommended it to friends. Thank you for a great birthday stay!

I've stayed in alot of lodges/shepherd's hours but this was by far so we'll equipped.

The little things were all there. From washing up liquid to salt and pepper. I honestly was able to cook a decent lamb henry, the oven was simple to use, everything was amazing. Can't wait to come back

Amazing, will definitely be returning

We had a lovely stay, we had everything we needed for cooking.

The bed was comfy and the hot tub was excellent. We’ll be back and will highly recommend High Rigg to others.

This is the second time we've been to this accommodation such a lovely place to go to just chill out and turn off from the world.

You have everything you need in the accommodation. We will definitely be back. We wish we had stayed for longer!

We had a fantastic getaway at High Rigg, incredibly quiet and peaceful setting and the hosts were lovely.

Complimentary Sheperds Pie and Prosecco were both delicious and a lovely bonus. Lots to see and do nearby, or just wander into the countryside.

Couldn’t ask for anything more fantastic location with great facilities well maintained tidy property with calming stunning views

Wonderful Shepherds Hut!

One of 5 on the site and ours was called: Shepherd's Sunset - for obvious reasons! We were very lucky with the weather and the sunsets were amazing! We viewed them from our lovely, covered hot tub with a glass of bubbly! The bubbly came courtesy of our hosts who left a bottle of Prosecco in the fridge along with a couple of shepherds pies no less! (Delicious!) Accommodation was as per photos - small, but comfortable (And that is part of its charm) Lovely area too - 2 great pubs nearby: The String Of Horses and The Duke Of Cumberland. We walked around Talkin Tarn and climbed up Talkin Fell - beautiful, serene, quiet and tranquil. Lovely way to spend our wedding anniversary - would highly recommend. Tony & Jane.

Firstly would like to mention the Positives, Beautiful Location over looking such Georgous scenery and fields what went on and on with such character cows coming up to you every morning to say hello and away from built up areas just what we both needed, the owner was a true gentleman, the cottage had a good outdoor area with the added Hot Tub which came in use every evening, the shepherds pie and bottle of fizz also a lovely touch on arrival, The only thing what was a little disappointed in was the size of the bathroom, it wasn't the biggest, so if your a slightly bigger person you would struggle to move around or even fit in the shower and on the toilet too also the pressure of the shower isn't the greatest, some may say does this really matter?

To us it did but we managed to get by for the days we was here.... The location was just what we both needed just to get away from white noise and built up areas, the drive up to this location was easy to find and straight forward, the area outside was perfect and the drive around the different areas was beautiful, it's not for people who do have walking difficulties but just like us we drove around and escaped in our car and different local points of history, town is only 10 miles away and there's loads of like bits to see, we both took the risk to do something different to help our mental health and it was the perfect decision, would we come back...Yes we would....take a chance, you'll never know it may just be tge right choice....Perfect little getaway to reset and take time out for both our Mental Health....

What a fabulous stay at High Rigg.

Shepherds Sunset was utterley delightful and peaceful. ust what the doctor ordered! The owner introduced himself when we arrived and we had a lovely chat. We wanted for nothing, and High Rigg is an absolute credit to you.

This is our second time staying at the property, great setting with wonderful views.

The huts are compact but have everything you need. Unfortunately for the second time the weather was not our friend! Obviously, the GB weather is never guaranteed. Great location to access lots of local hikes. Would stay again.

really nice place .

room and hot tub amazing . clean and well looked after site . Chris and owner really nice to take to. had a very relaxed week. will go again in future.

This was a lovely break and the hut was lovely and will definitely book again

Beautiful accommodation fabulous hot tub fantastic views peaceful location the sunsets are outstanding we had great weather for our stay our dog loved it a fantastic place to relax .

Well done

We had an incredible stay here - it was so quiet and peaceful, and the property was beautiful.

It was lovely and clean, and had everything we could’ve needed for our stay. The hosts were very friendly and they were available if we needed anything. The pie and fizz went down a treat too! Overall it was absolutely perfect, and we’d love to stay here again. Thank you for having us!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay, clean, tidy, comfortable, lots of nice touches.

We felt so welcomed, while given total privacy. Every element of our stay was lovely and the only room for improvement would be that as we brought our dog, the garden could be a little more secure, especially given their are sheep in the adjacent fields - a more secure fence on the field side would be ideal, but otherwise it was absolutely perfect! We will definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay in this property!

It was our first time in a ‘Shepherd’s hut’ and we were a little surprised at how compact it was however the outdoor space made up for this with covered and uncovered areas allowing us to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery and ever changing weathers!

We loved staying here.

It was everything we wished it could be. The accommodation was well equipped, cosy and comfortable with a lovely bottle of complimentary fizz in the fridge for us to enjoy. The hot tub is the icing on the cake. We did a couple of walks then came back and relaxed in there with a beer and some music whilst our food was cooking in the oven. It was bliss

We loved it.

It was our second visit and we will definitely be back again next year hopefully with the dogs as well.

We have had a fabulous time at High Rigg, we would recommend this beautiful retreat, the shepherds huts are amazing comfortable cosy homely, the facilities were great, amazing place to stay with amazing country side walks and views.

Dog friendly like home from home .

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish.

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

A lovely little gem in a beautiful setting!

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!

We had a lovely relaxing stay.

The property was compact but had everything we needed for an amazing stay. It was very dog friendly and the Shepard's pie and bottle of fizz made for a very nice welcome. The settings are stunning!

Great place to stay and lovely owners.

Hot tub was a great treat. Owners recommendation to visit Powfoot near Annan was spot on. Enjoyed the welcome pack.

The property was amazing and the location and views were astounding.

Well looked after, the owners checked on us to see if we needed anything and the shepards pies we got were delicious. Would definitely recommend to others and will look at coming again to this beautifully located property with hot tub which was lovely after a long day of being out and about.

A much needed break for me & my dog & it did not disappoint.

A beautiful quiet setting, lovely accommodation, clean & kitted out with everything you would need, even down to doggy towels

Fantastic accomodation and stay in a beautiful location.

Absolutely loved our stay here!

The hut was so peaceful and relaxing. It had all the standard ammenities in the property so you only need to pack some food. It backed onto a field of cows so if you take your dog I'd keep that in mind as they do come close to the fence. Really enjoyed the shepherd's pie too, was a lovely touch.

Was truly relaxing and peaceful location .

We stayed in the Shepherds Sunset and was make to feel completely at home. We would recommend it to anyone for a relaxing getaway from it all . We will be back.

Great property in a nice out of the way location.

We woke up to lovely views. Had brief contact with I believe was potentially one of the owners and they were great. Would highly recommend

We had the best time, We needed to relax and we did.

Local pub was friendly. We would come back.

Well what can I say other than WOW!

Beautiful setting, lovely scenery . Relaxing spot the Hot Tub was amazing just what the Dr ordered for me & my husband . Absolutely recommend this place we will definitely be coming back and will be sharing our experiences to our family and friends . The hosts are lovely and are only phone call away if you need them . On arrival the wine was chilling in the fridge nice and cold and the Shepherds pie was a delight . You will not be disappointed.

An absolute find of the place.

Truly beautiful and peaceful. The owners were tentative with their service and the homemade pies on arrival, was a lovely touch. We will definitely go back again and was worth the 375 mile journey. This site won't allow a picture, but it is beautiful.

Amazing place to stay, lovely people, amazing hot tub with beautiful scenery.

Will definitely be visiting again

Had a lovely stay at high Rigg!

The hut was so cosy and the view from shepherds sunset was lovely. The owner is really friendly and the pie and fizz in the fridge was a fantastic bonus. We will definitely be coming back!

A lovely stay, would highly recommend!

This place is a gem, lovely little cabin with hot tub.

Travel light clothes wise as there is not much space inside for hanging clotges etc! But the cabin has all the home comforts required. Wood burning stove is an asset and kept it very cosy. Really appreciated the prosecco and shepherds pie the first night. All in all a lovely spot for a chilled break.

Would recommend this property to anyone .

Small but perfectly formed . Hot tub fabulous owners very friendly and helpful. Shepherds pie which was left for us delicious. Views amazing lived our stay there. Arrived Wednesday left Sunday loved every minute. Great places to visit within easy reach

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay.

Everything was perfect.

This was a very comfortable stay, we really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the serenity of the countryside was much needed.

Will be staying again. A must for the couples. Owners were very accommodating and lovely.

We had such a relaxing stay!

The hut was just perfect, the view was beautiful and it lived up to its name, as the sunsets were just spectacular! The first night we arrived after a long 6-hour drive to a lovely Shepherd's pie and bottle of pink fizz. We couldn't fault it, we had such a lovely week and the owners were really friendly. 100% would stay here again.

No everything was perfect and we really enjoyed our stay

Booked for our 10th anniversary and it didn’t disappoint in any way.

We wanted solitude and just us time and spent our time just relaxing when we weren’t hiking around the area. 11/10, I wish I was closer as we would be regulars! Thank you so much, absolutely perfect!

Such a beautiful shepherds hut, very cosy.

Lovely view from the decking and good access to local walks, not too far from Hadrian's wall either! Would definitely recommend for a little getaway, and would definitely stay again :)

A lovely place to get away and relax!

! Stunning views and loved having a hot tub!! Very peaceful and the owners made us a shepherd's pie which was very yummy!! They even gave us a bottle of fizz!! The place had lots of character and was very charming!! Would 100% stay again and recommend to anyone else interested in staying!!

Exactly what is advertised, a nice relaxing getaway!

You can go on a nice peaceful walk through the country in the day, and come back to a lovely warm hot tub in the evening. To top it off, the hosts were very kind and helpful, and provided an amazing Shepherds Pie. Had an amazing time, even if the weather wasn’t the greatest!

Had a great week in the Shepherd's sunset Hut.

Nice and clean and private. Met the owner who who gave us some tips on local things to do. Great base for Hadrians wall and the lake district. Not too far from the local shops if required. I would highly recommend this place.

The cabin was amazing and so homely, it had an amazing view and we had such a perfect relaxing weekend and we will 100% be going back.

The owners are so lovely they couldn’t have made it a nicer experience for us, we are so thankful and can’t wait to go back

We had a lovely relaxing stay in the shepherd's sunset, the views where great and saying hello to the cows on a morning was a bonus.

The hut is well appointed and we slept great. Cant wait to book again !!!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Shepheards Sunset for three nights.

Brenda and David extended a warm and genuine welcome, making us feel right at home. Their hospitality was exceptional, and their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our stay. The surprise of Shepheards pie and a bottle of fizz upon arrival was a thoughtful and welcoming touch, setting the tone for a memorable getaway. This lodge is set within a private garden which creates a real peaceful environment to relax in after exploring the many places the area has to offer. Overall, we can’t recommend this enough and have already booked our return.

David, Brenda and Chris made us welcome from the moment we showed up at High Rigg.

Place was in a great location with fantastic views and was as good as expected with some nice little personal touches like Shepherds Pie and bottle of Fizz. Definitely will return.

Only giving 5 stars as there is no 6 stars.

Had the best time, totally relaxed vibe, fantastic pub within walking distance and lots of places to explore. Met the lovely owner just as we were leaving after 3 days which made us feel very welcome and trusted with their property and our privacy respected. We knew they were only a few feet away if we required any help but didn’t as everything had instructions and was well thought through. Can’t wait to go back and although all the accommodations are In beautiful settings, I think ‘Sunset’ offers the best views and privacy. Congratulations on your vision.

We had a great stay, Brenda and David both very helpful and welcoming, amazing views, great touch with the free fizz and amazing Shepard's pie, hot tub was bubbling hot and ready for arrival, fully stocked log fire which we made the most out of having it snow outside.

Lots of local walks, and views... Will be returning!

Generally we loved the cabin.

It was so peaceful away from it all . Hot tub was brilliant & relaxing A few minor observations which didn’t spoil our stay & are intended to be constructive 1 A welcome letter from owner with a few simple instructions for heater, cooker etc would be good 2 There were some cobwebs above the chimney over the fire 3 Some form of clothes hanging/ storage would help As I say we enjoyed it but these would have made it even better

We had a lovely relaxing stay at High Rigg last weekend.

The accommodation was beautiful and as described. The owners had thought of everything that you might need, including a filling meal and fizz for your first night. Shepherd's Sunset is located towards the back of the property, down a little walkway so there are no passing cars, if it wasn't for the cows and the cats you wouldn't see another soul. The views were stunning and would change with the seasons. The hot tub is under cover so can be enjoyed whatever the weather. Lastly, the owner is a lovely friendly and helpful chap. I have already recommended this little gem to friends and colleagues, it's perfect!

Outstanding Mini-moon break @ High Rigg Shepherds Sunset.

Beautifully done & all facilities required to make your stay so comfortable. Very private & the hot tub was such a great relax after a day out.We did struggle to find it at first, but just gave the owner a quick call & he kindly gave us further instructions. A lovely touch was the shepherds pie waiting in the oven and a chilled bottle of fizz. We popped up to Gretna Outlet for some shopping therapy, took a drive to Penrith & then into Pooley Bridge, which is beautiful with easy access to Ullswater. Do not hesitate, if you want a relaxing few days away in beautiful surroundings then please choose this accommodation. Thank you for a wonderful break. Julie & Darren

The owners were on holiday when we went to the lodge.

However, the son made us feel welcomed and made sure any issues were rectified. The only issue was the fire alarm kept sounding, but this was fixed immediately. The lodge itself was very comfortable with everything you need, from pots and pans to utensils. The hot tub was serviced everyday and was needed after a long day of walking. We did meet the owner on the last day and he was very friendly. The nights were silent and relaxing which made the stay even better.

Beautiful property, well maintained with everything you need.

Would definitely recommend shepherds sunset as it is more secluded than some of the others. We loved the hot tub and the cows!!

thank you for amazing relax.

it is beautiful,cozy place. if you need short break in our busy time,this place for you.

The shepherds hut was fantastic the views were magnificent and the owners were friendly and helpful .

We will return and have already recommended to family and friends

Wow.

....what a fantastic place to stay! The shepherd's hut was in a beautiful rural location and had a very private setting. Nothing was too much trouble and the owner allowed us to park my motorbike in the nearby barn. Lovely interior and the homemade shepherd's pie was delicious! We have already recommended the location to other friends and family. A perfect long birthday weekend for my partner and I.

Had a fantastic time at High Rigg, the owners David and Brenda are very welcoming and accomodating.

The accomodation we stayed in was comfortable, clean and secluded with great views and a relaxing atmosphere. I would highly reccomend it. We will be staying here again and are already looking at dates for later in the year. Fantastic!!

Perfect little getaway!

Was so clean and the little side touches made it so welcoming! Hot tub was ready on arrival, couldn’t ask for anything more! The owners were really friendly, we’d definitely come back!!

Well what can I say … what a wonderful little wonderland , for a tranquil, beautiful peaceful rest , from the real world !

We loved every minute ! 5 star all the way ! We didn’t want to leave this beautiful exquisite place ! Lots of beautiful landscapes and even though the sun didn’t shine throughout our visit , we couldn’t have cared less !! We will absolutely be back very soon !

We had an amazing stay!

Everything was perfectly clean and well equipped. The hot tub added the perfect relaxation we needed to the lovely private Shepard's hut. The owners were lovely also very kind and friendly! Couldn't recommend more and we will definitely be back

High Rigg is a gorgeous little getaway.

Beautifully situated and beautifully designed. Everything was lovely from the decor in the hut to the hot tub, secluded from other huts. The Shephards pie and bubbly were a welcome touch, especially as we arrived late on the Friday night. Will definitely visit again.

Absolutely Fabulous.

3 night relaxing break in a picturesque location. The accommodation is excellent and has everything you need. Its very private with no one overlooking and you can switch off and relax in the hot tub. I would definitely recommend and would definitely go back.

Pictures don't do it justice.

Cottage pie in the fridge. Amazing views, very quiet. Warm Lodge and hot tub on arrival. Would

Thanks for perfect holiday❤

Absolutely loved it could not fault it at all.

What a wonderful place.

Gorgeous location. Warm welcome. Beautiful hut. It's the attention to detail that stands out. Everything has been carefully thought about. A meal ready to throw in the oven and a bottle of bubbly in the fridge when you arrive. Ready made up bags of firelighters and kindling for the wood burner. Towels, blankets and dressing gowns so you can make the most of the hot tub, even in winter. The whole place just feels immediately cosy. We had a wonderful weekend and we're looking forward to coming back.

Absolutely perfect!

Could not recommend this place enough, the owners were fantastic and very welcoming! The hut is the perfect getaway whether it be a romantic break or not, just brilliant! The welcome gesture on arrival was the perfect finishing touch to the start of our weekend away, thank you!

We both have stressful jobs so wanted a peaceful and relaxing weekend, the hut was perfect and attention to detail was amazing, clean and spotless, great facilities and lovely and warm, The hot tub was fantastic and relaxing.

We will be returning for sure in the summer to make use of outdoor space and bbq. The shepherd's pie was so tasty and a nice touch.

Was a nice relaxing break, peace quiet and a hot tub, what more do u need?

? Was comphy and the owners would gladly go out of their way 2help with anything u needed

A great tranquil place to stay and the view is outstanding!

The owners were very nice and the holiday was very relaxing.

So peaceful and relaxing.

Accommodation had everything we needed, very comfortable, ideal setting to unwind

Stayed in the shepherds sunset hut for two nights, very comfortable and quiet with great views.

A great place to stay and will definitely go back.
