Shepherds Hut

Welcome to our shepherds hut here in beautiful Swaledale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The hut is located in a secluded location with far reaching views of the valley. There is a short walk on a steep slope to get to the hut (this can be slippy when wet- be prepared), however we’re sure you’ll agree it’s worth the effort for the privacy and views. Parking is on the cobbled area at the front of High Gill House. We’ve loved creating this idyllic getaway for two or the solo traveller.  We’ve tried to recreate that “den like” feeling , a private and cosy escape from life with a bit of luxury!! The wildlife is in abundance, the curlews, canadian geese, kingfishers, herons,pheasants, rabbits and deer can all be seen. The bird feeders are a constant source of pleasure, extra nuts supplied!!! The night skies when clear, are filled with stars and the owls hoot all adds to a magical experience. We hope we can welcome you soon.

The Area – Swaledale

Low Row is a beautiful Dales village which is fabulous for walking and admiring the scenery whatever time of year. The beautiful drystone walling iconic to the dales and the hardy Swaledale sheep with their black faces graze on the hillsides. The gorgeous chocolate box cottages dotted all over the hillside provide a wonderful back drop to a truly stunning area.
The Punch Bowl pub provides wonderful food and a 10 minute walk from the shepherds hut. Further shops, pubs and cafes can be found in Reeth, four miles away. The fish and chip van visits our village on a friday evening providing a wonderful and easy tea!!! The dales bike centre in Fremington (4 miles away) rent bikes out including electric ones which are great to explore the trails. The bike centre cafe is amazing too for cakes – far too many to choose from!!

Shepherds Hut – Kitchenette, bedroom, dining and sitting area, bathroom and wood burner

The cosy hut with oak flooring and underfloor heating also has a cute woodburning stove making the hut a great place to stay whatever the season. The kingsize bed with luxury bed linen ensures a great nights sleep. Windows look out to the hills beyond and the ever changing scenery, lie in bed looking at the moon and stars, hear the birds singing and the owls hoot.

The kitchenette comprises of an induction hob and a microwave, sink and all the usual kitchen items, a toaster, cafetiere, pots and pans to create a comfortable stay. The fold down oak table allows you to have breakfast with a view, the comfy chairs with their sheepskin throws are so relaxing, you may not want to venture out. The books, walking guides, cards, dominoes, Roberts radio provide further relaxation. The ensuite bathroom has a full size shower, sink and loo with luxury soaps. We searched all over to find unique and quirky items to make this hut a really memorable place to stay.

We have provided lots of information in the hut on places to visit, eat, walk , local festivals, fairs etc but we’re always available to ask questions or point you in the right direction.

Outside Space

Located in a field you sometimes have to share with the local Swaledale sheep! There’s also a fire pit with cooking griddle and pan, a great place to huddle round and enjoy the crackle of the wood on the fire. There are also benches and tables with cushions and outdoor lanterns for al fresco dining or just sitting and admiring the view. We provide some firewood and kindling, further can be bought from us if required. Matches, firelighters can be found in metal tins in the hut.
