Is La'al Ling Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
La'al Ling is not ideal for children as it's designed specifically for couples with a studio layout and single king-size bed. The limited space and romantic setup make it unsuitable for families. There's no additional sleeping space or child-friendly facilities. The hot tub and fire pit also present safety concerns for young visitors.
For Couples
La'al Ling is built for romance. The intimate studio space with king-size bed and woodburning stove creates a cosy atmosphere. Soak together in the wood-fired hot tub under starry skies. Cook a meal to share or use the BBQ. The private enclosed garden with fire pit offers perfect evenings for two. Thoughtful extras from the owners make it special.
Pet Friendly
La'al Ling does not allow pets. The shepherd's hut is situated on a working farm with sheep and other livestock nearby, making it unsuitable for dogs or other pets. If you're looking for a pet-friendly holiday, you'll need to consider alternative accommodation in the Lake District area.

La'al Ling Reviews

Tracey
We had a lovely stay at Laal Ling, such a cosy and romantic hideaway the extras provided were very thoughtful and made the experience even better. Would definitely recommend and hope to return for another break away very soon!
Rebecca
Me and my friend had the most delightful stay. The owners were both such fabulous hosts and were only a message or phone call away if we needed any help. We had the added luxury of a velvetiser which was a lovely added bonus. We brought a pizza with us and they were really helpful cooking our pizza for us as there was no oven in the shepherds hut. As well as more than happy to help with the hot tub even having it set up for us when we arrived. The shepherds hut is gorgeous and we are looking forward to booking it again. Thank you for such a delightful stay
I booked La'al Ling for a twonight break to celebrate my husband's 40th at the beginning of the new year. What a lovely Shepherd's Hut this is. Dean and Jo are fabulous hosts, very welcoming and incredibly helpful. We really appreciated all the extra home comforts on arrival, so thank you. Milk, orange juice, tea, coffee, cereals, bread and butter were all provided and they even had a bottle of prosecco waiting for us in the fridge. We were rubbish at getting a fire started, so Dean helped us to get it going for the wonderful hot tub. We enjoyed two nights under the stars, which was so relaxing. Beautiful surroundings and a warm, welcoming smile. We will be back!
We were warmly greeted by Dean and Jo. They showed us where everything was, and how to use all the facilities. Dean had already fired up the hot tub, so shortly after unpacking we were in it, relaxing, whilst taking in the amazing views. Later whilst the storm was angry outside, we were snuggled in front of the roaring fire listening to the hypnotic rain dancing on the roof. The local area had a power cut due to the storm, but we had a 'kettle' over the fire, and Jo had placed Xmas lights around the hut, so it was warm, light and we could make hot brews. We'd thoroughly recommend La'al Ling, and we'll be back in the summer
We had a great stay at L'aal Ling and couldn't have asked for more from the hosts they thought of everything to make the stay that little bit more special! The hut was wonderfully cosy and the log burner was perfect in the colder weather we can't wait to come back!
Andrew
This was better than some 5 star hotels I have stoped in definitely cleaner and the hosts couldnt do enough for us. Very comfortable warm and very pleasant views are amazing we will definitely be going back thanks for a Brilliant stay Andrew and prim
Alexander
Dean and Jo were fabulous hosts. They have spent a lot of time and effort making the Hut functional and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The setting is lovely, nice and quiet. Some lovely places to visit on the doorstep and you arent driving at 2 mph to get there like you would if you stopped in more touristy spots around the lakes. You are literally only a few miles of the dual carriageway which was great after the drive up there. It was great to have the log burning hot tub made ready for your return from a days walking. Seriously the hosts couldnt do enough, provided local places to eat, walks and were so pleasant! I will be looking to return.
The hosts are absolutely lovely, so accommodation, definetly recommend x
Matthew
Beautiful setting, on a farm, surrounded by little sheep, with a view of Blencathra The hosts have thought of everything and are operating on a world class level We had the chance to speak to the host Laura and her son who looked after us on our first evening both super nice and helpful. Will definitely be coming back Thanks so much for the perfect birthday stay

To jo and dean thank you for your lovely hospitality we had a great time with ... To jo and dean thank you for your lovely hospitality we had a great time with you we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and your cleaness of your shepherd's hut
Steven
I really enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable stay at La'al Ling which I now know means Little Ling. The shepherds hut accommodation was very comfortable and clean, and beautifully decorated. It is situated within it's own private garden, where you can relax in the hot tub, and enjoy the views. The facilities available in the hut were just right, with plenty of hot water for the shower. Although you may want to get away from the trappings of modern life, having WiFi available was essential to me, and it never let me down. The only thing that did let me down was my own ability to create a good fire for the hot tub. The owner, Dean, came to my rescue there, and got the temperature up to the perfect level. Dean and Jo were excellent hosts, with plenty of recommendations for places to eat, and of course Dean's fire building skills. I would definitely stay at La'al Ling again. Thanks Dean and Jo for a lovely stay.
Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful shepherds hut. It was such clean and cosy hut with lots of extra goodies that we didnt expect. The hosts were really friendly and welcoming people. We really enjoyed our stay and will be recommending to other people. Megan & Olly
We had the best time at laal ling, it is so homely and has everything you could possibly need, not forgetting the amazing views that comes with it, didnt want to leave and would 100 recommend!
Steven
Myself and my girlfriend had the most amazing weekend. Amazing views, the hut was so cozy and the hosts were so friendly and thoughtful, so much shocked us as there was a lovely spread of snacks, milk oj and Champagne in the fridge, even had playing cards, the hot tub was perfect and my girlfriend wants the same bedding as which was in the hut as it was so so comfortable. We would give it 6 stars if we could. Perfect
Ashley
Booked as a last minute gettaway, we was blown away with the set up and facilities of the shepards hut at la'ling. Dean and Joanne couldn't be more accomodating. This is a 5 star stay and would 100 recommend to any one wanting a peaceful getaway in the lakes with a luxurious property. We will definetley be back !
