    Very quaint teeny tiny hut that has a fantastic view and everything you need to hand. Lovely owner who came and gave us some details and a chat about the hills. We had a great sleep after our mountain walks and few celebratory voddies x

    We booked in for two nights for my partner's birthday, so that we could make an attempt on Helvellyn. Unfortunately the ice was "the best for 5 years" as the man coming off the summit in crampons with ice-axes told us. The Hut was a lovely cosy...

    The location was perfection, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The scenery just from The Hut window was insane! The beck nearby was perfect for a morning dip and the sound was heard from The Hut, it was so relaxing. We also didn’t...

    The property was in a beautiful location and very out of the way. It was very cosy and had everything I needed for my stay. It was in a great location for the walks I wanted to do and was very close to the shops in case I needed anything.

Escape to the Lake District Mountains, a unique, tranquil getaway at the foot of Helvellyn, 2km above Ullswater, up towards Striding Edge. Mountains tower above the hut, watching over our guests these Birkhouse Moor and Sheffield Pike with views of the Angle Tarn Pikes & High Street. ,Situated on the side of the Glenridding Beck, which is perfect for morning dip. The beck can be heard both outside and in, & relaxing and therapeutic for mind, body and soul. Single/double duvets on offer for a small charge for duvets on request, Sheets and pillow/pillowcases provided, and towels too. open Doorway into kitchen space and further open doorway into toilet area. Double glazed french doors, lead onto decking area for amazing mountain & river view. Fully insulated ceiling for a cosy space. Outside table / chairs / fire pit for your use. Open access land allows access to the Glenridding Beck for your dip. PLEASE NOTE the shower is an outdoor shower. use only our natural products.
I am Mountain Leader and navigation coach, so can help you with your Hiking Highs web page for our guiding company. I meet wonderful people staying in my hut from all over the world, and my 'Room With A View' also.
The area is very remote, although there are 2 lovely supermarket shops in the village, 1.5km down our track, in Glenridding. The village sits on the shores of Ullswater, so beautiful Steamer trips available up and down the lake. Lots to explore if you like a quiet place. 2 cafes, and 4 bars which all serve great food in the village.
