Windermere 4.3 miles. Resting rurally in Crook alongside River Gilpin in Cumbria is Damson Shepherd Hut, a delightful single-storey dwelling. Enveloped by pretty blooms and sweeping fields, well-positioned within the Lake District National Park, whilst offering a studio-style layout, and a private outdoor space, the property welcomes two guests, perfect for a romantic getaway. Park up and make your way to your intimate abode, complete with quirky interiors and rustic features, providing all the basics for a self-catered stay. Take advantage of the fire pit/barbecue if you fancy alfresco meals, whilst enjoying the peace and quiet of your surroundings. Return indoors for a quick refresh in the sleek shower room, before relaxing in front of the woodburning stove, recounting your day's adventures.

The location is fantastic and so quiet! It was the perfect place to return back to after a day of exploring. The hut itself was very clean, had some lovely details and the bed was super comfy! The property owner was very thoughtful and had some great recommendations for us too. It was great being so close to Bowness-on-Windermere and Kendal. We had a brilliant time and would highly recommend the hut to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing place to stay with easy access to lots of stunning places.
