Welcome to Fergie’s Hut! Perfect for a romantic break in The Lake District, with your own private hot tub and unobstructed fell views, you’ll love the privacy and the feeling of escapism from the moment you arrive. Ever dreamed of staying in a traditional Cumbrian shepherd’s hut? Look no further! Fergie’s Hut is quaint, comfortable and has lots of cosy features which will make this stay a memorable one, like the little wood burner, which you can light if the night gets cool. Every detail in this quirky hideaway has been carefully thought through with guest comfort in mind, but without losing too much of the original charm that these huts provided to the shepherds while tending their valuable flocks in Victorian times and right into the 1950’s. Outside you have a BBQ and firepit to enjoy whilst sitting outside, and if that’s not warm enough for you, the showstopper must be the beautiful calming hot tub, set in a genuine, restored 1920’s farm cart shed, with views of the surrounding farmland and fells. Fergie’s Hut is a little different from many – it has a separate centrally heated ‘wash ‘n’ dry hub’ with en-suite and walk in shower, a hair drying station, and room for drying clothes and footwear.
