Soak in the private outdoor hot tub after a day on the fells. It's one of the standout features of this shepherd's hut stay.
Walk up to the private seated high point and take in a majestic view down the Ullswater Valley. Few stays offer this.
Two huts joined by a hallway means far more room than a standard shepherd's hut. Superior décor makes it feel genuinely special.
Pop a log on the wood burner and settle into the living space. Perfect for cool Cumbrian evenings after a day outdoors.
The front garden has a multi-stove and seating area. Great for cooking and eating outside on a fine evening.
One dog is welcome at The Woolmere. With fells and lakeside paths on the doorstep it's a great base for dogs too.
