 Verified This is a wonderful place to stay and well setup for our cockapoo. It was incredibly peaceful and secluded with a river running next to us, yet had a Coop less than 10 minutes drive away. We did a few local walks which had great views and even took a photo of an original bit of Hadrians wall! Other guests have mentioned there is “no internet”, there is some 5G signal on EE if you sit on the patio area outside the Hut if you really want it!

 Verified We were walking the Hadrians Wall Path, the shepherds hut was a little way off the path but not too far. As we had no food we placed an order with Sainsbury’s using a food delivery app and it was delivered relatively quickly. The shepherds hut had everything we needed for a restful night.
