Enjoying a secluded position on the outskirts of the market town of Brampton, near the majestic land of the North Pennines AONB is this outstanding hideaway, High Rigg Shepherd's Retreat. This shepherd’s hut is perfect for a couple seeking to explore Cumbria or simply get away from it all to enjoy a romantic retreat together. After situating your car within the allocated off-road parking space, a short walk up the endearing pathway will bring you to this elegantly-styled dwelling. On arrival, be drawn in by the home-made shepherd’s pie that awaits you within the open-plan living room, where a woodburning stove offers a sense of tranquillity during those chiller evenings. This small, yet well-appointed space comes with a kitchen area for rustling up your own tasty treats, a dining space and a plush king-size bed waiting to be sunk into after an action-packed day. During a balmy afternoon, enjoy a spot of alfresco dining whilst sipping a local gin and admiring your rural surroundings before continuing around the corner to dip into the bubbling hot tub. Look forward to opening up the fizz that’s awaiting you in the wine bucket, roast some marshmallows and curl up with your partner in front of the fire pit with throws wrapped around you as the evening grows darker and before you retire to the evening’s embrace. As you wake up, look forward to tucking into the locally sourced breakfast, with something to suit each appetite. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic base, head to Brampton where you will find a selection of amenities, as well as opportunities for exploring Hadrian's Wall and the Scottish Borders. For those feeling active, a short car journey will bring you to North Pennines AONB, where you will find a magnitude of walking opportunities upon heather moorland and woodland settings. High Rigg Shepherd's Retreat is a wonderful base for refreshing break with your partner. Read More
