Chris and Danielle

Came to stay here in October for our 3 year anniversary. We had never been to the Peak District before and wow, it didn’t disappoint. What an amazingly beautiful part of the world, and to top it off was this absolute gem. A lovely little hut with all the amenities you can think of and some extra comforts, very warm on a cold night, and with a personalised touch of wine and cake on arriving we couldn’t have asked for more. We will definitely be coming here again, plenty more walks to be had around this beautiful place. Pub and locals fantastic too.

Thank you to the most welcoming hosts, Ian and Angela. The elderflower wine and chocolates went down perfectly whilst relaxing in the hut.

The views from the hut are incredible, especially with the sunny weather that we had. The maps supplied facilitated some incredible walks including Mam Tor and Three Shires Head, which had the best scenic views for photos and memories of the Peak District.

We enjoyed a pint of lager at Wincle Brewery, a stone’s throw and a bit from the hut, and finished our evenings at local pubs including Sutton Hall and The Church House, both of which we recommend.

Overall, we love this place and will certainly visit again in the future.

Beautiful! So many nice and thoughtful touches. Fantastic location, what a view. Lovely walks around and about. Angela welcomed us every morning with a cheery wave. We did the brewery tour, very interesting and well worth a visit. The Ship Inn is very relaxed and friendly with lovely food. We will definitely be back.

Such a beautiful location, very nice and relaxing and just what we both needed, a second honeymoon with no children. The shepherd’s hut is amazing and so beautiful, every little touch makes it perfect. Angela and Ian were very friendly and recommended places to go. Thank you so much for our lovely stay and we hope to come back next year.

Jake and Louise

What a beautiful location! Our stay was perfect, walks close by and the shepherd’s hut is comfortable, well equipped and well designed. Angela and Ian have thought of everything, which really made our stay that much more fabulous. The fire pit is a stunning addition, making our stay warmer and a little bit more exciting. We don’t do things like this in London. Thank you.

Jamie and Caroline

We had a lovely stay at the shepherd’s hut. Such a beautiful location and so relaxing. The summerhouse was lovely for watching the sun go down and seeing the stars come out. The Ship Inn do really lovely food and even have a good offering for vegans. We love how the shepherd’s hut is decorated and the thoughtful welcoming touches. One night wasn’t enough. We will be back.

Meg and James

The hut and its surroundings have felt like a fairytale. Everything that we needed was here. Ian and Angela are an absolute joy and provided wood and firelighters for the barbecue, and to top it all off some tomatoes fresh from the greenhouse. We will be raving about this place to our friends.
