General Info

Enjoying a secluded position on the outskirts of the market town of Brampton, near the majestic land of the North Pennines AONB is this outstanding hideaway, High Rigg Shepherd's Retreat. This shepherd’s hut is perfect for a couple seeking to explore Cumbria or simply get away from it all to enjoy a romantic retreat together. After situating your car within the allocated off-road parking space, a short walk up the endearing pathway will bring you to this elegantly-styled dwelling. On arrival, be drawn in by the home-made shepherd’s pie that awaits you within the open-plan living room, where a woodburning stove offers a sense of tranquillity during those chiller evenings. This small, yet well-appointed space comes with a kitchen area for rustling up your own tasty treats, a dining space and a plush king-size bed waiting to be sunk into after an action-packed day. During a balmy afternoon, enjoy a spot of alfresco dining whilst sipping a local gin and admiring your rural surroundings before continuing around the corner to dip into the bubbling hot tub. Look forward to opening up the fizz that’s awaiting you in the wine bucket, roast some marshmallows and curl up with your partner in front of the fire pit with throws wrapped around you as the evening grows darker and before you retire to the evening’s embrace. As you wake up, look forward to tucking into the locally sourced breakfast, with something to suit each appetite. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic base, head to Brampton where you will find a selection of amenities, as well as opportunities for exploring Hadrian's Wall and the Scottish Borders. For those feeling active, a short car journey will bring you to North Pennines AONB, where you will find a magnitude of walking opportunities upon heather moorland and woodland settings. High Rigg Shepherd's Retreat is a wonderful base for refreshing break with your partner. Read More

Reviews

Happy but disappointed!!!!

There are 2 parts to my review. The first part regarding the stay..... The Shepherds hut is lovely, done to a good standard with amazing views over the hills and had an undercover hot tub. Set up on a hill in the peace and quiet, you couldn’t ask for more. We loved it so much so that on the way home we were looking to book again...... This takes me onto the 2nd part of my review...... We paid £414 for 3 nights, the same 3 nights next year and the owners want £1100!!!! Yes you read correctly £1100!!! The price has trippled! Now like most things I expect an increase year on year but to treble the price blew my mind. I felt at £414 it was priced about right, you can imagine my shock at seeing £1100!! This is not just for a the weekend I wanted in September. Every 3 night stay from about the end of March to the end of October is around the £1100 mark! Now dont get me wrong its nice but certainly not worth anywhere near that. I rang Sykes Cottages who confirmed that the owners had increased their prices. For me there are as nice if not nicer Shepherds huts around for a hell of alot less. Seems to me the owners have become greedy and possibly thinking people will be staying in UK next year aswell due to Covid-19. In a nutshell, lovely accommodation, very relaxing but feel the owners are taking advantage. I won’t be paying that amount thats for sure!!!!

If you need a quiet break this is the one!

Absolutely amazing.. Due to covid the gentleman David apologised for not being able to offer the usual warm welcome bless him.. For a woman who has ocd I haven't had to look twice the cleanliness is outstanding the shepherds pie is scrumptious.. And it is so private we will definitely be booking again
