When you wish to hide away from the world and listen to that inner eco-warrior a stay at Moss Shepherds' Hut offers just that without ever losing the comforts you enjoy at home.

Escape the busy life and indulge in calm serenity and have peace to read that book you have always wanted to, chat to loved ones and just be..... Without the distractions of phones, Internet and TV you can completely unwind, (although 4G is very good and available if you need it!).

This beautifully presented shepherds hut, Moss, is one of a pair of huts, located in the heart of Egerton, extremely accessible yet feeling like you are a million miles from civilisation. This is an “off grid” experience with the fun of a camping style stay with the luxury of a comfy bed with hotel style linen and towels and a full shower-room. The hut sits in a sheep paddock / field with wonderful views across the countryside. Superb facilities have been considered including washing up area, covered cooking area with gas ring, logs, kindling, drinking water and even ice blocks for your garden fridge (a cool box!) Options available to add a breakfast box and even a cocktail box onto your stay. Enjoy 2 nights for a special price!

Perfect getaway 5/5

I booked this for my partners birthday as he is an avid outdoor person, and I had never tried anything like this before. We were so happy with the location and how quiet it was, the lady that I dealt with was super friendly and efficient and everything was thought of! The day was so perfect and couldn’t have asked for anything more. I would absolutely stay again given its quaint and you can detach from everything. Amazing thank you again!!!

Lovely stay 4.8/5

Myself and my partner stayed here for a night, it was lovely the place was spotless, the hosts where lovely and so helpful. It has fantastic views and the bed is very comfortable! I’d say the only thing is I’d preferred if there were a few more solar lights outside because it’s very difficult to see and navigate your way round at night, even with a torch! We will definitely be staying here again

A lovely remote get away 4.5/5

We enjoyed our short stay at the shepherds hut. It was perfect to get completely away from it all. Anne was very helpful and they had thought of all we would need. Cool packs to keep your food cold with a basic kitchen. We will definitely be returning! Thank you.

Very cosy cabin and having a fireplace outside and a wood burner inside definitely made the experience more pleasant. Amazing views of the sky on clear nights or a warm and cosy evening indoor with a small fire going. Got fantastic views at sunrise every morning. Heather and Anne were lovely and very accommodating and everything was spotless.

Wow what a place. This was more than we could have hoped for. The hut was immaculate and Heather had thought of everything you could possibly need. It is a stunning location and the peace and quiet was perfect for us. This weekend was to recharge and that is what we did. We walked, we read, we napped and we went to a coue of local pubs for meals. We cannot rate enough and would recommend to anyone for anytime.

We had a lovely stay. I​t was peaceful and quiet and we loved the sheep in the field nearby. The facilities and cleanliness were great and we were left to ourselves to enjoy a mini break away. The ladies were helpful with tips and suggestions nearby and the check in process was easy. Thank you.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here with Heather and Anne they are lovely hosts. When we walked into the hut it was very clean and tidy and they have made great efforts to add extra homely touches which we loved. Plenty of wood (we loved the fire pit and woodstove inside). We went on a really hot weekend and our food stayed cool with the cool box and ice blocks which is all provided for you. It was so quiet there just what you need to switch off and relax. Heather and Anne were easy to get hold of if you ever needed anything. We honestly couldn't ask for a better place or hosts. We highly recommend a visit here. Thanks again for an amazing weekend.

This experience has been everything we were looking for from an escape to the country with a fantastic view. The pictures don't give it justice.

Absolutely loved this place! Definitely exceeded my expectations. Everything had been thought of, down to the marshmallows for the fire. Facilities were fantastic, immaculate and modern. Both the main hut and the shower room /toilet were surprisingly roomy and the main hut heats up really nicely with the fire going. I would highly recommend and hope to visit again soon.
