The Woolmere

Situated in a quiet area and surrounded by Cumbria’s rolling hills, this delightful property is ideal for couples or solo travellers looking for a secluded and tranquil escape to nature. This property is part of a unique development including two other shepherds’ huts at the same location.

Perfect for walkers and cyclists, this lovely corner of Cumbria, in Bennethead, is only 3 miles from Pooley Bridge, set at the northern tip of Ullswater. There are plenty of hiking options amid the breathtaking scenery, with Glenridding and Patterdale less than 10 miles away and starting points for an ascent of Helvellyn.

For a tranquil spot away from the crowds, head to Derwentwater, less than 20 miles away, and enjoy canoeing, walking or taking a boat cruise while admiring the views. Alternatively, if you prefer historic sites, then a must-visit attraction is Lowther Castle and Gardens, only 8 miles away.

Walk through the front garden and up the large oak stairs to the double French doors that give you access to this lovely property. As you step inside, you are met by a warm and welcoming ambience and a sense of more space than you might ordinarily expect to find in a shepherd’s hut.

This unique Cumbrian experience features two shepherds’ huts joined by a hallway, creating a more spacious environment in which to relax and enjoy an unforgettable stay. Once inside, on the left, you’ll discover a generous living/dining space, and the kitchen is to your right.

The decor and furnishings have a superior feel, inviting you to sink into the comfortable seating and unwind fully after a day exploring the Cumbrian fells and lakes. Pop a log on the wood burner for a cosy ambience and watch your favourite box set together on the Smart TV.
