Gaze out across the Yorkshire Dales towards Nab End and Great Wegber as you relax outside this exquisite shepherd’s hut in Aysgarth. Sleeping just two guests, the appealing, one-bedroom getaway makes a magical, romantic retreat for a couple. Just 0.5 miles from the picturesque Aysgarth Falls, the timber-framed hideaway is close to a myriad of marvellous walks. Return from your hikes to sit outside in the sunshine on your private deck or to cuddle up inside the bolthole, which has been insulated with sheep’s wool and has underfloor heating.
Wander through the orchard to let yourselves into your bijou new home from home. Step inside to find studio-style accommodation, with a beautifully decorated, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner/bedroom. Here you can relax on the sofa, which can be converted into a bed for children by prior arrangement, to watch TV, read your books or plan the following day’s adventures. Prepare light meals in here on those occasions you choose not to eat out and dine together at the table inside or out in the fresh air. When you are ready to turn in for the night, enjoy a comfortable sleep in the double bed. Have breakfast out on the deck in the summer months as you take in the far-reaching views. There is parking for one car with the shepherd’s hut.
Have an afternoon out to Bolton Castle, 4.5 miles away, to wander its many gardens and perhaps even try your hand at falconry. Venture into Leyburn, 8 miles away, or Hawes, 8.5 miles from the shepherd’s hut to stock up on Yorkshire produce and dine out in a pub or restaurant. Richmond, with its medieval castle that has stunning views, is 16.5 miles from your base. While you are here walk 1 mile from the town along the river to Easby Abbey.
