“Spent a week here for a chainsaw course, it was brilliant!”

Couldn’t ask for a better place and the hot tub was amazing after climbing all day. Definitely be back again. Thank you

Liam October 2025

“4 nights at La’al Ling and it was brilliant!”

Dean greeted us on arrival, showed us everything we needed to know and was on hand for any questions during our stay. Couldn’t recommend this hut for a couple wanting a staycation more than this! Service, cleanliness, quietness, comfort, it had it all! For anyone wanting to stay here they are grabbing themselves a bargain & a really enjoyable stay. We’ll be back for sure!

- Liam, October 2025

Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re really chuffed you enjoyed your stay and found everything spot-on — clean, comfy and peaceful just as it should be.

Ian September 2025

“Wow what a find!”

! A gorgeous, clean, fresh, cosy Shepherd’s hut in an idyllic rural setting, with its own little garden and the added luxury of a hot tub. It provided everything you could ask for and more, with generous little touches. The accommodation enhanced our holiday no end. Coming back to relax after exploring the amazing lakes and surrounding area was a delight. Dean and Jo were a pleasure to meet and couldn’t be more helpful. We would highly recommend.

- Ian, September 2025

Thank you kindly for such lovely words! We’re chuffed to bits that you found the hut cosy and welcoming, and that the little touches added to your stay. It makes us so happy to know La’al Ling gave you a proper base for exploring the Lakes and fells, and that a dip in the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day. It was grand to meet you both, and you’d be more than welcome back whenever you fancy another Cumbrian escape. Property Owner
Judith September 2025

“Lovely little hide away.”

The hosts have done a brilliant job. Everything you need is there for you. The hut was spotless. Little extras left for us too. Proseco bread milk orange juice milk jams butter tea coffee and sugar. Nice touch. They are very informative and on hand if needed. The hot tub is an extra bonus which we used. Would highly recommend. X

- Judith, September 2025

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! We’re chuffed to bits you enjoyed your stay with the little extras, and glad you had chance to relax in the hot tub too Even if it was hossin’ it doon, it’s still a great spot to unwind! You’d be very welcome back anytime ❤️ x Property Owner
Nathan August 2025

“Absolutely brilliant place to stay!”

Lovely clean place with an ace hot tub with even better views. The owners even went to little details such as leaving fresh milk/juice/butter etc in the fridge for us and kindly explained to us where everything was and how to use everything too! Definitely the best shepherds hut we’ve ever stayed in. Thanks again!

- Nathan, August 2025

Thanks so much for your lovely review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the hot tub, views, and little touches – it was a pleasure having you. Hearing La’al Ling is the best shepherd’s hut you’ve stayed in means the world to us ❤️ We’d love to welcome you back anytime! Dean & Jo x Property Owner
Amber August 2025

“Me and my partner stayed here in the middle of august, 1 for my birthday and 2 to visit my family.”

And what can we say! From start to finish dean and jo couldn’t do enough for us! Jo texted me on our way up asking if we wanted the hot tub ready for our arrival, told me what was in the hut and they even left us goodies! (Which were very kind). Jo came and introduced herself and told us some more stuff about the place, had a lovely conversation with her! The next day we got to speak to dean, what a lovely man! Very chatty and informative which is lovely! Overall we had the most amazing stay here and will definitely be staying again! Thank you so much dean and Jo!

- Amber, August 2025

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We’re delighted you chose to celebrate your birthday (and fit in some family time) with a stay at La’al Ling. We’re so pleased you enjoyed the little touches and felt well looked after. Hearing that you had such an amazing stay really means a lot to us. We’d be absolutely thrilled to welcome you back anytime! Property Owner
Kerry August 2025

“What a fabulous time we had during our stay.”

Dean and Jo were so accommodating and welcoming. Location was perfect, not too far away from activities and local amenities. Accommodation exceeded our expectations. The perfect getaway. :)

- Kerry, August 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely words! We’re really pleased you had such a fabulous stay and that the hut and location worked so well for your getaway. It was a real pleasure to host you both, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for another escape. Property Owner
Jonathan August 2025

“We had a lovely time after a very hectic few weeks.”

La’al king was the perfect romantic base from which to see the local sites. Can’t begin to say how welcoming and friendly Dean & Jo were. Would definitely recommend this lovely quaint shepherds hut.

- Jonathan, August 2025

Thank you for your kind words and it was our pleasure to host you! We do take pride in the relaxing setting and luxury experience provided to our guests so it was great to hear we hit the mark! Come back soon. Property Owner
Leah August 2025

“We had a lovely and relaxing 4 night stay to celebrate my 30th birthday.”

Dean and Jo were very accommodating and ensured we were happy with everything inside/outside the hut before leaving us to enjoy your stay. The shepherds hut was immaculately presented with lots of towels, a robe and slippers each. The welcome breakfast / treats were also very much enjoyed and a lovely added touch. Dean gave us some ideas for exploring around the Lakes and while doing so we stopped off for food at Foundry 34, Penrith and The Crown Inn, Pooley Bridge near Ullswater Lake. Recommend both! Thank you Dean & Jo for our wonderful stay. I’m sure we will be back again in the future!

- Leah, August 2025

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! We’re really glad you enjoyed celebrating your 30th with us and that the hut and little touches helped make it special. Great to hear you liked the local recommendations too! You’re always welcome back at La’al Ling anytime ☺️ Property Owner
Joanne June 2025

“Amazing little Shepherd Hut in a perfect location.”

The accommodation has everything you need. When we arrived, the hot tub was ready for us to start our holiday. Jo & Dean couldn’t be more helpful. Thank you for making our first holiday together a special one x

- Joanne, June 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words — we’re absolutely delighted that La’al Ling was part of your first holiday together! It means a lot to hear that you found everything you needed and that the hot tub was a welcome start to your break. We always aim to create a relaxing and memorable stay, so knowing we helped make your trip a special one really makes our day. It was a real pleasure having you — thank you again, and we’d love to welcome you back any time! All the best, Dean & Jo x Property Owner
Fiona June 2025

“This is a beautiful property with super facilities, thoughtfully prepared by the owners to combine a comfortable and luxurious shepherd hut stay with practicalities.”

The hot tub experience was wonderful after a day in the hills and we chose to use the full sized fridge, well-equipped cooking utensils and microwave for our meals - although there are lovely pubs a short drive away. The property has stunning views (from the hot tub too!), and although you can hear a little traffic at busier times from the small road, this doesn’t intrude. In fact, the location is superbly suited for beauty and accessibility. Our host Jo was lovely with great information provided and she took the time to check all was well and then left us to enjoy the peaceful stay! I would definitely recommend!

- Fiona, June 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback — it really means a lot to us! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay at La’al Ling and that the shepherd’s hut struck the right balance between comfort, luxury and practicality. It sounds like you made the most of the space — and we’re glad the hot tub hit the spot after your time in the hills! It’s great to know the views, the location and the facilities worked well for you, and that the little touches helped make your stay special. Jo will be especially chuffed to hear your kind words — she loves making sure guests feel welcome and well looked after, while still being able to properly unwind. Thanks again for the recommendation — we’d love to welcome you back any time! Warm wishes, Dean & Jo Property Owner
Mollie June 2025

“Dean and Jo were so lovely and their hut was the best holiday accommodation I’ve ever stayed in.”

It was so cosy and luxurious, and the photos don’t nearly do the view justice. We had everything we needed right there, and we were especially pleased that they had all the OL maps for the surrounding areas, that we could borrow for our days hiking. The only negative was that we struggled to leave the lovely hut to go on our planned hikes! Fantastic stay, can’t wait to return

- Mollie, June 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! It really means a lot to us to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at the hut — especially knowing it’s the best holiday accommodation you’ve ever stayed in, that’s such a kind compliment. We’re so pleased you found everything you needed (including the trusty OS maps!) and that the views exceeded expectations — they really are something special, aren’t they? And we totally understand the struggle to leave the hut… it’s a common theme with guests and one we take as high praise! We’d love to welcome you back anytime — there’ll always be a warm hot tub and many more hikes waiting for you. Warm wishes, Dean & Jo Property Owner
Steve May 2025

“La'al Ling.”

Amazing!!!! We were greeted by our hosts Jo & Dean and made very welcome, they had text us earlier in the day to ask out time of arrival so they would have the hot tub warmed and ready to use. (Nice thought) The shepherds hut was immaculate both inside and out and spotlessly clean and fresh. There was everything we needed for our stay here, and Jo had given us loads of local places to visit and eat if needed. Completely enjoyed our holiday there and felt relaxed, Jo & Dean and their son James left us to our own devices yet they were only a phone call away if needed. Big thankyou!!!! We will be booking again and would recommend this idilic retreat in such a beautiful quite location of Cumbria to anyone. Thanks Jo, Dean & James. All the best Steve & Adele x

- Steve, May 2025

Dear Steve & Adele, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback — it really means a lot to us. We’re so glad you felt welcome and relaxed, and that you enjoyed the hut, the hot tub, and the peaceful setting. It was a real pleasure to host you both, and we’re delighted you’re planning to come back. You’re welcome anytime! Warmest wishes, Jo, Dean & James x Property Owner
Anna May 2025

“La’al ling is a great shepherds hut.”

It has all the amenities you would need and every single corner of the shepherds hut has been thought of so well from Dean & Jo the owners. It was a really thoughtful touch for them to put Prosecco, milk and butter and some other little bits for our breakfast. It was so lovely that Dean & Jo messaged us before our arrival to make sure that they could great us on arrival at the shepherds hut. They even heated the hot tub for our arrival for when we arrived. Both Dean & Jo are very accommodating and made us feel very welcome. The bed was extremely comfortable! The space is very well thought of with under the bed storage for your luggage so then you don’t have to find a space to put it. Me and my boyfriend will definitely be coming back to La’al ling. If there’s any shepherds hut you stay in please stay in this one!

- Anna, May 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely message — it really made us smile! We’re so glad you both had such a great time at La’al Ling and that all the little touches helped make your stay feel that bit more special. It means a lot to hear that the hut had everything you needed and that you felt welcomed and comfortable — we always try to make it feel like a home away from home, so it’s lovely to know that came across. We’d absolutely love to have you both back anytime — you’d be so welcome. Thanks again for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us! All the best, Dean & Jo Property Owner
Luce April 2025

“The most perfect long weekend, the little added extras like Prosecco in the fridge on arrival, and the hot tub already being heated up just made it that bit more special.”

Location wise is was brilliant, with loads to do in the area, we went to The Secret Garden on the Saturday night, highly highly recommend, the food and drinks were delicious! That said, make sure you book a taxi home as we did get stuck!! Thank you very much for the most wonderful weekend, we will be back!

- Luce, April 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such a perfect long weekend at the hut and that the little touches helped make your stay even more special. It’s great to know you made the most of the local area too—The Secret Garden is a real gem, and we’ll be sure to remind future guests about booking taxis in advance (a very good tip!). We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing escape—thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to share your experience. Property Owner
Emily April 2025

“My boyfriend and I had a brilliant stay at La’al Ling.”

Not only was the Shepherd’s Hut pristine and had everything we needed, but the owners were so kind and helpful to us during our stay. This meant we had a really enjoyable, relaxing time (especially because each day we got back and the hot tub was ready for us to use!). We would really recommend this beautiful place.

- Emily, April 2025

Wow, thank you for such a fantastic review! We’re so happy to hear you had a brilliant time at La’al Ling and that you felt so welcome and relaxed throughout your stay. It’s lovely to know you enjoyed the Shepherd’s Hut and the hot tub treats after your days out.

Rochelle April 2025

“Absolutely loved our stay here!”

The cabin is equipped with everything you need! Lovely views of the country side, clean all throughout, maintained to a high standard and both owners are absolutely lovely! Couldn’t thank them enough for their help during our stay there, would 100% be staying again next year!

- Rochelle, April 2025

Thank you ever so much for your beautiful words. It was truly a pleasure to host you, and we’re so glad that the charm of the countryside, the comfort of the cabin, and a few little thoughtful touches helped create a stay to remember.

Colynda April 2025

“Not long got back from a 3 day break with my partner.”

All I can say is WOW…..the view was amazing and so relaxing. The accommodation is stunning fresh juice, milk, bread, butter, some cereal and Prosecco was waiting for us. Very accommodating and welcoming from Dean and Jo. They honestly couldn’t do enough for you! Dean was a whizz with the hot tub making sure it was heated perfectly for us! They recommended us to the George and Dragon which was a stunning steak to share! We had all the essentials to have a BBQ and the set up was brilliant we didn’t need anything else! We also found some beautiful waterfalls, castles and great views! Would definitely come back again for another relaxing trip! Thank you so much again for your hospitality.

- Colynda, April 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so glad you had a relaxing stay and enjoyed the views, the welcome treats, and the hot tub — Dean is especially pleased to hear your kind words!

Until then, take care and happy travels! Dean & Jo Property Owner
Mark March 2025

“I can not rave enough about the property or the proprietors after our recent visit!”

The somewhat qwirky accommodation was immaculate, exactly as advertised and the views from the hut were to die for. Dean and Jo were excellent hosts, always on hand should we need anything, but at the same time not intrusive. It was a lovely touch when we had gone out for a meal one evening they had hand turned on around 20 lanterns along the path to the hut so as to light our way upon our return. Lots of lovely things to do in the area with the Lakes an easy commute and some wonderful gastro pub dining close by. Will definitely be returning in the future.

- Mark, March 2025

Thank you so much for your kind words—we’re absolutely delighted that you enjoyed your stay with us! It means the world to hear that the shepherd’s hut and its views made such an impression, and we’re especially touched that you appreciated the little touches like the lanterns. Creating a warm, welcoming experience is exactly what we strive for, and we’re so glad it shone through. We’re lucky to have such beautiful surroundings and charming local spots to share, and we’d be honoured to welcome you back anytime. Until then, take care and thank you again for your thoughtful review! Property Owner
Rebecca February 2025

“Me and my friend had the most delightful stay.”

The owners were both such fabulous hosts and were only a message or phone call away if we needed any help. We had the added luxury of a velvetiser which was a lovely added bonus. We brought a pizza with us and they were really helpful cooking our pizza for us as there was no oven in the shepherds hut. As well as more than happy to help with the hot tub even having it set up for us when we arrived. The shepherds hut is gorgeous and we are looking forward to booking it again. Thank you for such a delightful stay

- Rebecca, February 2025

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your friend had such a wonderful stay and that you enjoyed the little extra luxuries, like the Velvetiser. It was also our pleasure to help with your pizza and make sure the hot tub was ready for your arrival—we want every stay to be as relaxing and enjoyable as possible! We really appreciate your kind words about the shepherd’s hut and can’t wait to welcome you back for another visit. See you again soon! Dean & Jo Property Owner
Anna January 2025

“I booked La'al Ling for a two-night break to celebrate my husband's 40th at the beginning of the new year.”

What a lovely Shepherd's Hut this is. Dean and Jo are fabulous hosts, very welcoming and incredibly helpful. We really appreciated all the extra home comforts on arrival, so thank you. Milk, orange juice, tea, coffee, cereals, bread and butter were all provided and they even had a bottle of prosecco waiting for us in the fridge. We were rubbish at getting a fire started, so Dean helped us to get it going for the wonderful hot tub. We enjoyed two nights under the stars, which was so relaxing. Beautiful surroundings and a warm, welcoming smile. We will be back!

- Anna, January 2025

Thank you for your lovely feedback and choosing us for your special celebration. We are so pleased our guests from near and far make the most of our cosy hut and tub. It’s been a joy to host you and look forward to seeing you in the warmer months. Dean and Jo x Property Owner
John December 2024

“We were warmly greeted by Dean and Jo.”

They showed us where everything was, and how to use all the facilities. Dean had already fired up the hot tub, so shortly after unpacking we were in it, relaxing, whilst taking in the amazing views. Later whilst the storm was angry outside, we were snuggled in front of the roaring fire listening to the hypnotic rain dancing on the roof. The local area had a power cut due to the storm, but we had a 'kettle' over the fire, and Jo had placed Xmas lights around the hut, so it was warm, light and we could make hot brews. We'd thoroughly recommend La'al Ling, and we'll be back in the summer ;-)

- John, December 2024

Thank you for your kind words We are so glad that the storm didn’t spoil your stay and you were warm and cosy. We would love to see you again when the sun is shining over La’al Ling. Property Owner
Chris November 2024

“We had a great stay at L'aal Ling and couldn't have asked for more from the hosts - they thought of everything to make the stay that little bit more special!”

The hut was wonderfully cosy and the log burner was perfect in the colder weather - we can't wait to come back!

- Chris, November 2024

Dear Chris, we are so pleased you were cosy in La’al Ling despite the weather being bitterly cold during your stay. It would be lovely to see you again in the future. Best wishes Dean and Jo Property Owner
Andrew November 2024

“This was better than some 5 star hotels I have stoped in definitely cleaner and the hosts couldn’t do enough for us.”

- Andrew, November 2024

Dear Andrew and Prim, it was lovely to meet you both. We are so glad you had a nice time at La’al Ling on our very first festive season stay. We look forward to seeing you again. Merry Christmas Dean and Jo Property Owner
Alexander October 2024

“Dean and Jo were fabulous hosts.”

They have spent a lot of time and effort making the Hut functional and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The setting is lovely, nice and quiet. Some lovely places to visit on the doorstep and you aren’t driving at 2 mph to get there like you would if you stopped in more touristy spots around the lakes. You are literally only a few miles of the dual carriageway which was great after the drive up there. It was great to have the log burning hot tub made ready for your return from a days walking. Seriously the hosts couldn’t do enough, provided local places to eat, walks and were so pleasant! I will be looking to return.

- Alexander, October 2024

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased you had a lovely time and hope you come back soon to explore more of the local area. Lovely to meet you both. Property Owner

Steven August 2024

“I really enjoyed a relaxing and comfortable stay at La'al Ling (which I now know means Little Ling).”

The shepherds hut accommodation was very comfortable and clean, and beautifully decorated. It is situated within it's own private garden, where you can relax in the hot tub, and enjoy the views. The facilities available in the hut were just right, with plenty of hot water for the shower. Although you may want to get away from the trappings of modern life, having Wi-Fi available was essential to me, and it never let me down. The only thing that did let me down was my own ability to create a good fire for the hot tub. The owner, Dean, came to my rescue there, and got the temperature up to the perfect level. Dean and Jo were excellent hosts, with plenty of recommendations for places to eat, and of course Dean's fire building skills. I would definitely stay at La'al Ling again. Thanks Dean and Jo for a lovely stay.

- Steven, August 2024

Hi there and thank you for such a lovely review, we are so glad you enjoyed your time with us! It was truly a pleasure to host you and be your personal fire starter ;-) it’s all part of the service! Please do come back and see us soon, you will be very welcome. Best wishes Dean & Jo Property Owner

“Myself and my girlfriend had the most amazing weekend.”

Amazing views, the hut was so cozy and the hosts were so friendly and thoughtful, so much shocked us as there was a lovely spread of snacks, milk oj and Champagne in the fridge, even had playing cards, the hot tub was perfect and my girlfriend wants the same bedding as which was in the hut as it was so so comfortable. We would give it 6 stars if we could. Perfect

Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle, Brougham Hall (The Windsor of the North), Lowther Castle and Gardens, Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
