About this property
Tucked away just seven miles east of Carlisle and a stone's throw away from the village of Wetheral, this delightful shepherd's hut boasts a wonderful position for exploring the whole of Cumbria. With open country views and a charming woodland setting, High Rigg Shepherd's Hut is well-suited to couples looking for a romantic break away together. Pop open a bottle of fizz left for you on arrival and enjoy a real treat with your loved one, either out on the decking or while eating a home-cooked shepherd's pie at the dining table. You have a lovely seating area at the foot of the king-size double bed and a well-appointed kitchen for rustling up romantic dinners. Open the French doors on a sunny day and let the outside in while you delve into a good book or simply take in the views. There is also a shower room to complete the interior in a stylish and modern fashion. Separating you from the rippling lake and the decking area to the front, is a balcony enclosing a wonderful outdoor space, so you can recline on a lovely summer's day and sip a cooling beverage. Climb into the hot tub and make the most of being out in the open countryside in all weathers, with the advantage of having a roof over the deck to shelter you from the wind. Tucked behind the decking is a small grassy area with a handy storage cupboard for stowing away any additional belongings. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 972580, 992979, 1018187, 1049869, 1083212, 1107439, together sleeping up to 18 guests.
The village of Wetheral lies five miles from Carlisle in the north of Cumbria. It boasts great transport links, a village green and is overlooked by a restaurant, pub, village shop and tearooms. To the east, the 19th century viaduct towers above the river with some of the best salmon fishing in the country. Further along the river you can view a tumbling waterfall from Corby Castle and later pay a visit to the city of Carlisle for a wealth of shops and eateries.
