About the site


The Hamlet at Samlesbury Hall is a collection of 25 brightly coloured shepherd's huts, set in the grounds of arguably one of the most haunted locations in Britain. Glamping has never been so exciting! The huts are each a room in their own right, with accommodation for up to four people in each, complete with memory foam mattresses and an ensuite bathroom and power shower. They have full central heating, making them suitable for a stay at any time of the year. Each hut is also fitted with plug sockets and USB ports for your convenience. Outside each hut is a picnic bench and fire pit, for you to sit back and relax, toasting marshmallows and singing songs around the campfire. There are three huts that are dog free and so are great for those with any allergies. Dogs are able to stay in the other huts but please book pets in advance. The site is also home to the Southworth Spa shepherd's hut, set in a private area and equipped with a double bed, an ensuite shower room, a wood-fired hot tub, sauna, and a cold plunge bucket. There are alsoa seating hut which has tea and coffee facilities, an alexa and a fridge/freezer and outside seating with wooden benches and a firepit. Please note that children and dogs are not allowed in this area. Please note there is only a fridge/freezer in the Southworth Spa NOT the shepherd huts. Samlesbury Hall is open during the day for you to look around, and on Sundays, the site offers guided tours to the public at 11am and 2pm.
