The Highland Hideaway Shepherd Hut sits on a working farm in Patterdale, Lake District. This cosy wooden retreat offers breathtaking fell views that'll make your Instagram followers weep with envy. The compact but perfectly formed hut gives you everything needed for a Lake District escape without the faff of a massive holiday home.

Set against a backdrop of mountains and valleys, this location is a walker's paradise. Helvellyn, Place Fell and Angle Tarn are all accessible straight from your door. Want water? Ullswater Lake is less than 2 miles away where you can hop on a steamer, try paddleboarding or brave some wild swimming (shrinkage warning!).

Is The Highland Hideaway Shepherd Hut Right For You?

Discover why this cottage is ideal for different types of visitors

For Families
This property is designed specifically as a romantic retreat for couples and has limited space with just one double bed. The compact interior, working farm setting and focus on adult relaxation make it unsuitable for children. Families would be better looking at larger properties in the Lake District that offer child-friendly facilities and more space.
For Couples
The Highland Hideaway offers couples a perfect romantic escape. The intimate shepherd's hut layout creates a cosy atmosphere, while the private hot tub under starry skies adds luxury. French doors frame mountain views from your bed. Couples can walk hand-in-hand to nearby Ullswater, cook meals together on the BBQ, or snuggle by the fire pit with a glass of wine.
Pet Friendly
This property does not allow pets. The Highland Hideaway Shepherd Hut is situated on a working farm with livestock nearby, making it unsuitable for dogs. The compact nature of the accommodation and the presence of sheep in the surrounding fields means pets are not permitted. Guests with pets should look for alternative pet-friendly options in the Lake District.
