Ambleside, Cumbria & Lake District

Site overview

The Herdwick Huts have their own site within the magnificent grounds of Rydal Hall, in the heart of the Lake District. Nestled beneath the Fairfield Horseshoe, the location is hard to beat. A walk through a stunning woodland sculpture path takes you to Rydal Hall and its extensive 34 acre grounds. There are also paths which lead past cascading waterfalls and secret pools - perfect for wild swimming.

Shepherd's Hut - Shepherds Hut (Pet Free)May 2023

It was our first visit to Herdwick Huts and will not be the last, we had a lovely holiday from start to finish. The huts were lovely and clean and enough space between them so it was quiet and private. The views were amazing looking out over the fells of an evening with a cold beer, BBQ and fire going - you couldn't ask for anymore. It was only a 2 minute walk to the clean toilet block and a further 2 minutes to the shower block, which again was spotless. Excellent pub 'The Badger' at the bottom of the road and also a bus stop so very easy to get around. I would definitely recommend Herdwick Huts and we will be back again very soon, possibly in October when it's colder and we can try the wood burner in the hut!

absolutely fantastic stay could not have been better

Shepherd's Hut - Shepherd Huts (Pet Friendly)Aug 2023

We enjoyed our stay at the Herdwick Huts very much. The huts are cozy, comfortable and a good size for a couple. We enjoyed the central location in the Lake District, the surrounding area with the waterfall and the sheep, the Tea Shop and the proximity to many hiking trails. The facilities were modern and mostly clean. The huts are near a bus stop with a good connection to Ambleside and Windermere. The walk to the showers is quite long and it would be nice to have a proper reading lamp in the hut, but everything else was great.

Great place for couple and a dog

Excellent cabin with lots of amenities located at the starting point for some of the best walks in the lakes. No need to drive and park. Ambleside and Grasmere are also within walking distance of shops and the pub 😊
