This peaceful one-bedroom shepherd''s hut is located within the Lake District National Park and boasts fabulous views and a private hot tub. It''s a romantic bolthole for a couple plus one hound wanting tranquillity, outdoor adventure, and long walks in nature.

Leave shoes and boots outside and take the few steps up to the living and sleeping area. Earthy tones and brilliant white walls create a soothing atmosphere while carefully chosen furnishings add a touch of warmth and comfort. The space is drenched in natural light and in warm weather you can open the French doors, relax on the double bed, and let the beauty of the landscape wash over you. The neat, bijou kitchen is perfect for creating simple meals and you can dine at the intimate kitchen table or step outside and eat at the table overlooking the fells. The hut also has a beautifully designed shower room. Outside, breathe in the fresh air and let Fido sniff out new scents in the surrounding shrubs and lawn. Unwind with a drink at the patio table, watch the sunset over the mountains and when darkness falls, slip into the hot tub and gaze at the stars.

Pull on hiking boots and explore Helvellyn, Skiddaw, and Catbells straight from your doorstep. Your hound will love scampering over moorland as you take in the stunning views from the summits. Alternatively, spend the day at Derwent Water Lake (4 miles) where you can stroll along the shore, splash in the water, or enjoy the views from a boat. For restaurants, pubs, and cafes head to the market town of Keswick (4 miles) or enjoy a drink at the friendly country pub in Threlkeld (1 mile).
