"We had an absolutely delightful experience staying at Caroline and John's Shepherd's Hut."
The hut itself exceeded our expectations, boasting a charming ambiance and coziness. Its picturesque setting, right next to a vast stretch of beach, was idyllic. Witnessing the dramatic tidal changes was mesmerizing - from expansive wet sands in the morning to a submerged beach by the afternoon. The hut was equipped with everything we needed, including continuous hot water and all the essentials for cooking our meals. Caroline and John were exceptional hosts, offering warmth and assistance throughout our stay. Caroline's homemade cakes were a delightful bonus. Our time there was thoroughly enjoyable, and we left with a tinge of sadness, already looking to return for another visit!
Thank you so very much for your lovely feedback and we are both so pleased that you had such a good stay with us. The hut is very much "our baby" and we always wanted it to be a real home from home experience for our guests so even more pleased that you liked it so much. The scenery on the beach does indeed change every single day and we feel really privileged to live here. We very much look forward to welcoming you both back and thank you so very much once again.
Caroline and John.

"Really cosy and warm shepherd's hut and the location is stunning."
Having a beach just yards from the door is bliss and the local facilities for shopping, eating out, exploring etc was perfect. The owners were delightful and the welcome pack of fresh eggs, fresh milk, bread and home baked cake were all enjoyed. We plan to return because our holiday was everything we hoped for.
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and we are so glad that you had such a good time. Look forward to welcoming you again (as do the hens and goats!). Caroline and John.

"The Shepherds Hut was so comfortable ,well equipped and its location so peaceful I found it hard to leave!"
The beach is literally on the doorstep and the scenery changed with the tides - when low tide it was possible to walk out ( take wellies) a good distance but at high tide the waves were spectacular. I enjoyed my beach walks very much and then home to a nice warm well insulated hut for sustenance!
The owners lived in a farm house behind the hut and ran a cafe during the day with freshly cooked food. They provided a welcome pack which included eggs from their own hens and a delicious home baked cake.
I enjoyed my holiday very much . Val ( late March 2023)
We are so glad you had a good holiday and a restful time. The beach is indeed amazing and we feel very privileged to live here and enjoy it every day - it changes so much. Thank you for your kind comments about the shepherd's hut and the welcome pack - very much appreciated. We look forward to seeing you again.

Will definitely recommend.

"Beautiful setting, right next to the beach for fabulous walks or just sat watching the wildlife and the scenery."
The hut is cosy, clean and well equipped, a perfect escape to relax and rest.
The welcome basket was lovely and the cake delicious. The hosts are helpful but discreet - would highly recommend a visit. It’s a perfect base to explore the lakes too.

"Comfortable bed and hot water never ran out as it has in other shepherds huts we’ve stayed in."
If we had to be really picky - the tea towels didn’t dry properly and left lots of fluff behind. It would’ve been handy to have some hooks to hang keys/clothes. And instead of the single arm chair in my opinion it would be better to have a small sofa and take out the stool/basket as difficult to watch tv from bed because of the angle. Very nicely maintained though, we loved the location and the welcome pack - thank you!
Thanks for that and so glad you had a good time and enjoyed the shepherd's hut. The tea towels were brand new for your booking so can only assume that is why they were a bit fluffy!
We did measure up for a sofa instead of the arm chair but this would have been a very tight fit indeed and would have made the hut very cramped.
There are two hooks on the back of the shower room door which could be used for clothes as well as towels and the shelf at the end of the bed has adequate space for keys, phones etc.
Glad you enjoyed your holiday and look forward to seeing you again.

"We had the most amazing stay at the Seashore Shepherds Hut."
From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome, a lovely selection of goodies awaited us, including homemade cake. The hut feels much bigger than i expected. There was a super practical kitchen area, powerful shower, oodles of hot water and lots of under-bed storage. Very comfortable bed and armchair, even lovely vintage china, just perfect. You can tell much love and care has gone into the making. The absolute best thing, is the wonderful location. beautiful views and an almost private beach! We are already planning to visit again. Thank you Caroline and John and your lovely animals, we so loved our time with you. xx
Thank you so very much for a wonderful review. We are so glad you enjoyed your time with us and appreciated the hut itself. It is very much "our baby" and we took a lot of time choosing furnishings etc for it.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet you all and I hope the children went home with great memories. The hens, goats and Speedy, our donkey, send their very best wishes and we all look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you very much once again.

"The Shepherds Hut is the Lake District’s very own “Tardis”."
Once inside it feels surprisingly spacious, with a wonderfully comfortable double bed, a fully equipped kitchen, and even a full size shower.
Set in a tranquil setting, literally a few steps from the beach, it is the perfect place to get away from the pressures of modern day living. If you feel the need to explore, then there is plenty to investigate in the area, and the magnificent Lake District is just a short drive away.
Caroline and John are the perfect hosts, and went to great lengths to ensure that my stay was enjoyable.
I really didn’t want to leave!
That's a wonderful review - thank you so much and very glad you had a good week. Look forward to seeing you soon.

The only issue I had was that I’m a light sleeper so because some of the windows didn’t have curtains I got woken up by the sun rising.
