High Rigg Shepherd's Sunrise Reviews

The place was amazing! ! We stayed for 2 nights as our monthly couple get away. When i contacted the owner about having some things sent over she was more than happy to have them delivered and even decorated the hut before we got there. We was amazed that on our arrival we had a bottle of fizz and 2 shepherds pies waiting got us which tasted beautiful. The man came and spoke to us before we left he was a lovely gentleman the grounds were amazing and we took a walk round. I definitely would recommend and possibly for longer stays i will be returning again soon the only thing i would change was the cleaning spray empty and no spare bin bags and a proper sponge to wash dishes

Lesley

Great stay at Shepherds Sunrise. Everything we could need was available to use in the accommodation. Loved the Shepherds pie and bottle of fizz welcoming us on our first night. Lots of places to explore. Would definately come back and use the Shepherds hut aswell as recommend to others.

We had a fabulous stay at High Rigg Shepards Hut Sunrise. It was lovely and relaxing. Lovely walks near by, and the food at the String of Horses pub was amazing, dont forget your 20 off voucher when you go. The owners were lovely and very helpful too. We will be back !

What an amazing place. We so enjoyed our stay at Shepherd's Sunrise. The hut was spotless and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Inside was beautifully decorated and outside the hot tub was great with comfortable seating areas and fabulous views. The delicious shepherd's pie and fizz left for us in the fridge were a lovely idea, and the owners were so friendly. Its a beautiful area to explore and so close for a visit to the Lakes. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning in the future.

Amazing, comfortable, clean, peaceful and everything we could have hoped for and more. The lights were on as we arrived so it was easy to see our way up to our door. The hot tub area was lit up and ready for us use. The hut was warm, inviting and ready for us with shepherd's pie and a bottle of fizz in the fridge. Easy and enough instructions for all the bits and pieces we used. The log fire was amazing, the bed was comfortable, the hot tub was fantastic and the owners were friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back and definitely recommend this to anyone who needs a relaxing time together xx Beautiful, peaceful, very clean and cosy with very friendly owners too xxx

Second time staying, we had a lovely time. Definitely be back next year.

Sanjin

It was a wonderful stay. The hut is beautifully decorated and everything was spotless. The fire was really easy to light only comment is make sure you bring a lighter with you to start the fire! So peaceful with some lovely views of the pond.

George

Amazing stay, we got caught in a storm and were looked after very well. Couldnt be happier. Thank you again for the amazing experience!

Nice comfortable stay, even in 6 temperatures I was turning heater down and the log fire boosted temperature up all night.

Incredible place to stay, the Shepard's pie was delicious. Friendly people and amazing views

Great facility to get away for a few days. Maintenance Only thing I would suggest sorting out is adding some clear or white silicone sealant to the back of the sink to prevent water damage to the back of the cupboard. Suggestion One additional toilet roll might be worth adding in the storage cupboard especially as Sunday was a no go day with the high winds and rain plus that unexpected time of month. Travel There were no shops nearby to get those essential supplies baring in mind we did not have transport. It took an hour and fifty minutes to walk to the BP station on A69, the first day, and one hour to Hayton village on our way home where there may have been some essentials on offer. It was closed on the Monday so we didnt find out. By car, a doddle so don't be put off. For information the route to Hayton takes you to the A69 and a bus stop to get to Brampton or Carlisle via the 635 bus. This is closer than to the BP garage where the Spar is. Hot tub a must. With dressing gowns and slippers provided, an evening outside is even more relaxing. Unless you have transport, this holiday is for the keen walker. We related to both. Owners were exceptionally helpful and provided some excellent help and advice. Thank you Claire. I rarely return to places as I love travelling but I would return here. It is slightly on the pricey side but with the place to yourself in the middle of nowhere it's worth it. Overall a very cosy place with great outlook. Well equipped for such a small space but used effectively there is plenty of space.

EXCELLENT PLACE BOOKED TO RETURN IN JANUARY 2025 CAN NOT WAIT TO GO BACK

Kathay

This is truly a little gem, not only from the delights of the surroundings, the shepherds hut was just perfect every little detail well thought off, I worried before arrival about the size as some I have stayed in that look big on the pictures but are quite small, but this was one of the larger huts we've stayed in, the jacuzzi was very private, never seen any other guests. a lovely gesture of delicious shepherds pie and a bottle of fizz which was a lovely welcome gift, I would highly recommend, and we are already planning our next trip back. If I could make one small change and it would be small, may I suggest removing the customer signs and the be replaced with guest.

We had a great stay. Everybody was friendly and helpful on the site. The shepherds pies are a great touch. Can't wait to go back

Lovely and relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings, small But perfectly formed. Hot tub excellent and bed extremely comfortable. Will stay again

Millie

We were warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived, he was very kind and already had the hot tub ready for us! The lodge was very cosy and clean, the lighting of the lodge made it very warm and romantic, with fairy lights both inside and outside. There were shepherd's pies already waiting for us in the fridge with a bottle of sparkling we've never tasted shepherd's pie as good as them! There is also a very nice pub less than 10 mins walk away. Overall, a very pleasant stay, and highly recommend to anyone, especially couples who want a cosy getaway!

Rachel

Really lovely stay. Peaceful and relaxing locationplot. Close to local pubs which were very welcoming to us and our dog! The fence surrounding the hut had wide gaps and with sheep being nearby there was a slight concern the dog might get into mischief we brought a dog gate which fitted perfectly so problem solved! I think considering the pricepoint some charcoal for the bbq could have come for free rather than additional cost on arrival and some local recommendations may have come in handy from the hosts we bumped into some locals who happily obliged us though so no worries there!

Worst experience ever over run with bugs and flys from the trees Parking in ... Worst experience ever over run with bugs and flys from the trees Parking in between the trees was terrible when you get out of the vehicle on wet ground very slippery and dangerous We stayed just one night and moved out pictures looked wonderful real life experience rubbish

What a truly beautiful setting quiet and very peaceful. The shepherds hut was cosy comfortable and the hot tub was so soothing. The views are breathtaking watching cows grazing on the hill opposite and ducks paddling on the lake was a treat. Shepherds Sunrise we will return. Mrs and Mr Evans

Veronica

We had a lovely time hut was lovely the heater was lovely for when it got cold ,hot tub great to . Only thing was it needed a gate to stop the dog getting out up the lane

Absolutely fabulous, what a gorgeous place to stay and have a relaxing break. We absolutely loved it!!!

Stephen

Hi Rigg the sunrise is the best shepherds hut we have stayed in. The views and the grounds were well kept and all you can hear is the bird song and sheep. The bed was so comfortable with beautiful linen. The hot tub was amazing with all the fairy lights and under cover. The garden needs a gate to stop your dog getting out on the driveway. Sitting on the raised balcony eating our complimentary shepherds pie and sipping our pisecco what more do you need. Would recommend to everyone,well worth the money.we will be back. Our golden retriever slept like a log and so did we. The owners were friendly and there if you needed anything. Sunrise is a credit to them.

Fantastic stay at 'sunrise' Lovely pies and sparkling wine in Fridge

Jonathon

The property was great. Lovely, clean and comfortable place to relax. The only reason we wouldnt score 10 would be that the fence allowed the dog to potentially get through to the sheep, so he couldnt roam free without worrying. Also, the bathroom was on the small side for a 6ft 3 man.

Jennifer

Very enjoyable stay at Shepherds Sunrise. A wonderful peaceful location. The accommodation was very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. Hot tub excellent! Location ideal, enjoyed a pleasant 10min walk to the local pub for a tasty dinner.

Algirdas

The hot tub was great,a real highlights and stunning views out of the cabin. .Coking facilities ,bathroomshower and bedding where all top quality and made the stay a home from home. A great stay and we can't wait to return.

Samantha

We would highly recommend staying here at high rigg. First of all the place is just so beautiful it really makes you appreciate life and the world we live in. It's idyllic, the wildlife is amazing. Upon arrival we had prossecco in the fridge along with the most delicious shepards pie you would have ever tasted. The huts are just perfect kitted out with everything you need, the hot tub had lights and 2 jet settings, on a night time there was lights all around the hut it was so romantic. Hats off to the owners you have created a wonderful escape for those who need to slow down, take a breather and rejuvenate. We can not wait to return!

The hut and location were as described, very relaxing and private. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at Shepherds Sunrise, beautiful place and really nice people. The hut was lovely, well equipped with everything you need and the wood fire was great in the evening after a soak in the hot tub. Beautiful view overlooking the pond, great views all round. The night sky was amazing for star gazing, and theres a lovely country pub half a mile away, food was really good. We will most definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay, the hut was very clean and cozy. Hot tub was great, lovely peaceful location with a nice view of the pond. Definitely would come again, highly recommend!!!

I would recommend staying here they are lovely people. coasy cabins and very warm

Had a lovely stay and will definitely be coming back. Thanks

We had an amazing time, what a beautiful place this is, by far the best shepards hut we've stayed in. We will definitely return. Thankyou.

We had a fantastic 3 night stay with our dog. Brilliant clean facilities with everything you need. The autumnal weather and rain didnt matter as the hot tub was undercover and the radiator keeps the hut really warm. There was a log fire too but we didnt need it. Bed was really comfy too. The perfect get away for that rural feel with a gorgeous view of the pond. If you do venture out theres a great pub down the road with amazing food too. The shepherds pie and bottle of fizz in the fridge was an added bonus. Be prepared that there is no internet or service there so you really get that off grid feel. We will definitely be back!

Brilliant place to stay , Very clean and very well thought about

Excellent stay and absolutely loved our 3 night stay. The only thing missing was a wardrobe !!. The lodge and hot tub were fantastic. The pub half a mile away was friendly and served lovely food. The shepherd's pie in the fridge was the best I've ever eaten !!. Our last day we travelled half an hour to Ullswater lake and had a motorboat ride and nice lunch. Definitely recommend our stay. A big thankyou

We loved it at High Rigg. We will definitely be back.

The shepherd's hut was just perfect for 2 with everything that we needed for our stay, with a gorgeous view over the pond and a sunny decking though out the day, the hut had heating and a log fire but this was not needed as it was so warm, the bed was so comfy that we slept all night, the dressing gowns and slippers was a lovely touch to use while using the hot tub which was perfect after a long walk, the hosts made us feel so welcome first of all by leaving a homemade shepherd's pie which was delicious and a bottle of fizz on our arrival and secondly by introducing himself on our 2 day and even offered to clean the bbq after we had just used it, we will definitely be going back

Amazing property and surrounding area, lovely and relaxing weekend away!

Robert

Enjoyed a brilliant 3 days in Shepherds Sunrise. Great facilities, quiet and relaxing with a hottub for extra comfort. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has been looking for that Hottub cabin in the woods. A very committed owner makes sure you have the best break possible. Thanks David and all the best till next time.
