2 nights at Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

Perfect getaway for me and my daughter. The hut is perfect, everything you could need and equipped and furnished beautifully. The views are stunning and the location is within easy reach of nature reserves and forests - spoilt for choice. It was so cosy and warm in the hut with the log burner lit and the fairy lights on. We will return! Thank you

2 nights at Hollow Gill Huts

My daughter and I just returned from a 2 night stay. The accommodation, the view, the hospitality and the lovely little extra touches made us feel so welcome and exceeded all expectations. The accommodation was clean and bright and had everything we needed and more. Emma was a superb host and nothing was too much trouble. What an absolutely perfect getaway in the quiet, watching the sunrise and the sunset with the sounds of the birds, seeing the rabbits running around. Simply cannot recommend this place enough for couples or families.

4 nights at Little Ranch Glamping

A warm and relaxed welcome from the moment we arrived. The kids were safe roaming in the play area and engaging with the animals. Our dogs were treated like family. We were super comfortable and I was able to switch off from the busy real world and read a book and enjoy the surroundings. The facilities are fantastic and the beds are big and comfortable! Can't wait to visit again.

3 nights at Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

We loved our stay at Over the Moon. Location was perfect, bed was extremely comfy and the hut was very cosy with everything you'd need. We loved the chickens mooching around and hearing the sheep and baby lambs. Such a peaceful and beautiful location. Thanks to Ruth & Jude and the animals ☺️

Over The Moon is a charming shepherd’s hut, and it was an absolute delight to stay there. The accommodation is thoughtfully designed and beautifully finished to a high standard. It was also super cosy and warm. The peaceful setting made it the perfect place to unwind and recharge. Waking up to the sounds of nature and enjoying the tranquil surroundings was just what I needed. I would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a relaxing and restorative getaway.

Weekend Trip to Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

I had a wonderful time at Ruth's Shepards hut. The hut was so cozy and a perfect location to explore the delights of North Wales. The eggs from the hens were the best I've tasted! 😍 I was travelling alone with my dog and Ruth put me right at ease and was a very welcoming host. I can't wait to return to Over The Moon in the future 💖

Weekend Trip to Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

We absolutely loved our stay in this shepherd’s hut. The location is fantastic, with plenty of walks and nature spots nearby—perfect for outdoor lovers. The orchard garden was much larger than we expected and ideal for letting our dog roam safely off-lead. The hut itself was impressively well equipped with everything we needed: a fully stocked kitchen, shower, toilet, sink, soft towels, various lighting options, indoor and outdoor seating, plus both a radiator and log burner for cozy evenings. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax after long walks. It was also, without a doubt, the cleanest holiday stay we’ve ever experienced. Communication with Ruth was spot on. Everything felt just right, and we enjoyed every moment. We loved it so much we’re already booking our next stay!

1 night at Little Ranch Glamping

Loved our stay in the Canalside Cabin. Very cosy and atmospheric. Amazingly built and full of character and charm. It was lovely to be able to walk the dog along the canal towpath and amazingly quiet. We were sad not to be able to stay longer and will be back! Thanks for having us!

Weekend Trip to Over-the-Moon Luxury Shepherds Hut

We had the most wonderful stay at The Sheperd’s Hut. Ruth and Jude were truly wonderful hosts. The location is just beautiful. Waking up to the gorgeous views, and our exploring the local forest was amazing. The sheep, chickens, and friendliest dogs made for a wonderful walk through the field. Everything was spotless, and you could feel the work and love that had been poured in. Tea, coffee, and sugar provided, as well as all the cooking tools you could need. The log burner was set up for us before we arrived, and we lit it on our last night. It was so toasty. The hut was comfortable, cosy, and exactly what you need to escape to the countryside. The eggs from the chickens are a must have! The local village was lovely too. We had the most beautiful Sunday Roast in the village. We are so grateful for the hints and tips given in the binder on arrival. Diolch!

Every detail of this stay was perfect - the clear directions, hot tub, views, wheel barrow for luggage transport and comfortable bed are just some of the highlights. We had an amazing stay in the most beautiful area and Jane was so helpful during our stay. Couldn’t recommend enough.

3 nights at Otter Moss Accommodation

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the log cabin, from the great atmosphere to the welcoming and helpful people close by, it was one of nicest glamping experiences. The cabin was such a cozy experience along with the beautiful view right outside of your cabin. If you are looking for some time away to relax or for long walks or even a little boat around the stream Ottermoss is the place to go.

Shepherd's huts near Settle guide

Overview

Right on the western edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, the small market town of Settle is a handy base for exploring the national park, as well as other nearby nature spots and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs). It’s also an easy place for campers without their own car to check out, as it’s on a railway line and served by two stations—Settle and Giggleswick. There are a few campsites and caravan parks around the town, and many more options in the surrounding countryside.

Where to go

Yorkshire Dales National Park

Settle is just outside the boundaries of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, but is an ideal base for exploring the hiking trails, cycle routes, and natural attractions of the park. The nearby village of Malham is especially worth visiting, as many of the national park’s most beautiful attractions can be visited on foot from here: Janet’s Foss Waterfall, Malham Cove, Malham Tarn, and Gordale Scar among them.

Forest of Bowland AONB

Settle is sandwiched between the Yorkshire Dales and the Yorkshire section of the Forest of Bowland AONB, which crosses over into Lancashire. This landscape of moorland, peat bogs, and pockets of ancient woodlands is another lovely area of picturesque landscapes, walking and cycling trails. It’s easy to visit on a day trip from Settle, or camp in a tent or caravan at a campsite in the AONB (wild camping is not generally permitted).

Nidderdale AONB

East of Settle, Nidderdale AONB is a continuation of the beautiful landscape of moorlands, valleys, flower-covered woodlands, and rolling farmland of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Campers staying in or near Settle can visit on day trips for birdwatching, wildlife-spotting, and walking adventures. There are also more camping options around the AONB, especially glamping sites located on family-run farmland.

Lake District National Park

Cumbria’s Lake District National Park is easy to visit from Settle as a major road runs directly there. This beautiful, Romantic park is worth more than a day trip, though: it’s England’s largest national park and also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Explore the trails on foot or by bicycle, and the lakes and coastline by boat or kayak. Sleep in a tent or caravan, or go upmarket at a glamping site, cottage, log cabin, or other unique accommodation.

When to go

Settle is in North Yorkshire, which experiences a generally cool climate, with wind and rain common, especially in the hilly dales nearby. Tent and caravan camping will be most comfortable in the summer. If you’re visiting outside of summer, dress appropriately to enjoy the outdoor attractions and consider opting for a glampsite or cottage in a nearby town or village rather than camping in a tent. The nearby Lake District National Park is especially attractive in the winter, though cold.
