Competition | Win a Lake District Shepherd Hut Stay

Iona Bower November 15, 2023

Enter for your chance to win a Lake District shepherd hut break, where you can immerse yourself in nature while enjoying the very best of home comforts

A new year is on the horizon, and with it there’s a blank canvas of fun and adventures to be had. If one of those plans is to enjoy more down time, relaxing in the best surrounds that nature has to offer, then Another Place, The Lake might just fit the bill. Set in 18 acres of Lake District National Park, this contemporary hotel has a private shore and views of Ullswater and the fells.

For the active, there’s open-water swimming, sailing, kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, cycling and walking, while those seeking a quieter pace of life can switch off at Swim Club – the hotel’s indoor pool and treatment rooms – or they can reconnect with nature at one of the many gathering spots found around the grounds. To top it all off, Another Place’s chefs are serving up the finest food and drink that Cumbria has to offer.

In addition to the spacious hotel rooms and the impressive architect-designed treehouse, there are six cosy and inviting Blackdown shepherd huts within the landscaped grounds, all making the most of the mesmerising views. As night falls, guests can cosy up around their firepit to watch the stars – a pastime that can be continued long after it’s time to retreat indoors, thanks to the stargazing roof positioned over the double bed.

If this sounds like your cup of tea, then Blackdown Shepherd Huts and Another Place, The Lake have joined forces to offer one lucky reader of The Simple Things a one-night Bed and Breakfast shepherd hut stay, worth up to £600. So the best of luck and you could soon be snuggling up under the covers watching the best twinkling light show that nature has to offer. Winter breaks don’t get much better than this.

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
