Shepherds View

We had a great break at Shepherds View, the accommodation was excellent , owners had thought of everything we could need.

Super king bed was super comfy and Wi-Fi strong. Location great to walk local Dufton Pike and to explore Eden side. The local Stag Inn only 100 m away great food , lovely people. We would definitely return to finish the walks we missed and the fact we loved the property too! Thank you C & S for making it stress free holiday .

Very comfy, very well equipped and very clean.

There has clearly been a lot of work and thought gone into creating the cottage and offering a great experience - lots of lovely little touches. Great position on the edge of the village with lovely views from the main window (especially good if there is a nice sunset). Friendly owners, readily available to help and actually we saw them a few times as the properties are very close and cars are parked together. Worth noting car parking is a bit tight. Lovely welcome basket with tasty goodies. Very pretty, well kept garden and whilst enclosed, it is not accessible from the house. Also no dog poo or wee allowed in the garden which we weren't aware of until we got there and meant there wasn't anywhere we could let our dog loose. Great to be able to walk to the village cafe and the local pub (the pizza van parked outside on a Monday does great wood fired pizzas).

Absolutely stunning and everything you need is there, a gem of a find and stay.

The hosts Simon and Carole were so lovely and helpful and nothing was a problem. Definitely be back

One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed at.

Well equipped and certainly luxury place. Nothing but praise for the way Shepherds View is advertised. A very much recommended place to stay. A very nice welcome pack is provided and all the logs you want for the fire. 5 star place

What a luxurious property!

The lovely owners have thought of everything to make sure you have a relaxing and comfortable stay. We loved that the fire was set ready to light, neverending hot water to enjoy the jacuzzi bath, cozy towels and robes. Thanks to the thoughtfully provided Scrabble dictionary we had a very competitive game! We also really enjoyed the guides shared for local walks. Thank you so much for our relaxing holiday x

Dufton is a lovely location with lots of walks within the vicinity, and within easy driving distance of other towns in the area.

The cottage itself is just beautiful- really well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches by the owners Carole and Simon for both us and our dog (he loved the dog bed so much I think we'll need to get him a similar one!). We loved our stay at Shepherd's View and would love to visit again.

We’ve stayed in numerous holiday cottages, this is by far the most comfortable and well-considered.

Everything is of the highest standard! The cottage is well appointed for walking in a quiet village, with amazing views. Owners Carole & Simon have thought of everything and are very friendly and helpful. The information book in the cottage was extremely helpful. The local pub did great food and a good place to have a good beer! Highly recommended and would stay again, and recommend to others.

This was our first time to this area of the lakes and it didn't disappoint!

Dufton is quaint with a central green and a pub which had great food by the way, we particularly enjoyed the quiz night (Thursday). The accommodation is excellent, everything has been thought of along with a lovely welcome basket of food. You can see that Shepherds View Is loved by the owners Carole & Simon. We stayed 5 nights, lots to see and do in the area from walks from SV to trips out, all the information you’ll need has been carefully put together by the owners in a book inside the cottage, this we found most helpful. We would highly recommend.

An exceptional cottage, Simon and Carol should be proud of what they have achieved in providing a superbly furnished and quality finished property.

The attention to detail in every way and thoughtful welcome pack made our stay even more memorable. We shall be going back without question.

A fabulous barn conversion in a pretty village with outstanding views across the countryside.

Our accommodation was very comfortable with all mod cons. The owners were very generous in supplying a welcome hamper with local produce. They were there to welcome us and give advice on the local area. An added bonus was the sole use of a small enclosed garden which was secure for our dog. A perfect location for walks, hikes, running and relaxing.
