The Experience
A heavenly hideaway for couples in a glorious corner of the world, coddled between the Lakes and the Dales. You approach through a charming walled garden, then straight into the kitchen with its flagged floor, red Aga, lovely beams and glorious view. Snuggle by the wood-burner (logs on the house) in the beamed sitting room with your very generous welcome basket: champagne, locally made chocolates, homemade bread and cake, all you need for breakfast, and a mini honesty bar with beers, wines and spirits. Upstairs to your oak beamed bedroom and bathroom: the handmade king-size bed is spoiling (with choice of feather or fibre pillows), so too the bathroom with ruby red roll top, thick white towels, robes and large shower. Debbie’s creative flair makes the whole place sparkle, and outside you get another red roll top, front and back gardens to follow the sunshine. Walk across fields to the pub for supper, head back for a cosy night in. Great for romantic couples who want privacy, but you can also take other properties – The Shepherd’s Cottage and The Farmhouse are attached, Angel Barn and helpful owners are nearby.

Had the most perfect weekend at the shepherds cottage. Felt like such a treat, with the gorgeous hamper, two bath tubs and robes to mooch around in. The most cosy cottage with amazing views and lots of lovely touches, super comfy bed too. Hope to return again soon!

We had the most wonderful holiday in Shepherd’s Cottage - an idyllic place in which to really relax and enjoying the stunning scenery. The standard of the cottage was excellent with amazing attention to detail and we loved the two contained patios - it was lovely to know your dog was secure. One of the best holidays we have ever had. We have already booked for next year.

Spending time here was an absolute delight! The attention to detail is fantastic. We recommend *Outside baths - they are a must and fabulous when the barn owl is swooping around. *Just go and explore the countryside - the views are amazing. *The hamper! * Make time for a meal at The Black Swan - fabulous! We will definitely be coming back to this wonderful cottage. Well done on creating this unique experience.

The neighbourhood
Local points of interest from Debbie & Richard Greaves
- Champagne Welcome Hamper, full of homemade & local treats: our own eggs, milk, home-made sourdough bread for breakfast, homemade cake for afternoon tea and of course a bottle of fizz!
- There are two Special Places to Eat & Drink nearby - The Kings Head Hotel and The Black Swan, both of which are in Ravenstonedale village. The Fat Lamb is a quirky country inn within walking distance (4 fields!) and another four within a 10 minute drive.
- Riding, mountain bikes, outdoor adventures, fishing lessons, cookery classes, paragliding, clay pigeon shooting can all be arranged nearby. We are situated in the recently extended Yorkshire Dales National Park and just a short drive away from the Lakes.
- Walking galore! Smardale Gill Nature Reserve is a 7 mile walk, over a stunning disused railway bridge, see red squirrels along the way. Wander up to the Limestone Pavements, just a 15 minute stroll away. Find hidden wild swimming pools in the fells.
- Kirkby Lonsdale is a boutique shopper's heaven, perfect for a mooch followed by afternoon tea. There's a shop to suit everyone! Or try Sedbergh, the book town of the north, dotted with antique shops too.
- Large it up: bring all your friends (up to 16) and take over the The Farmhouse (sleeps 8) & Angel Barn (sleeps 6) too. Perfect for large family celebrations. Catered meals can be delivered.

As soon as we entered the shepherds cottage we felt a real sense of home from home.' Everything has been so carefully thought out, to make your stay as comfortable as possible. It really was superb in every way, from start to finish...The quality of materials used and the little personal touches gave it the wow factor. There was even the addition of a beautiful Christmas tree, which had been lovingly decorated for us to enjov. We wouldn't hesitate in returning ...a real find. I wish it was ours!!
