    We had a lovely stay in Archie. Easy to find and park. Warm and cosy with a comfy bed and a fabulous shower. Saw the red squirrels and hares, lovely views and a handy location for visiting Keswick and Ullswater. An easy 15 minute walk to a village...

Archie is a cosy shepherd’s hut with underfloor heating, double bed, an en suite with shower, toilet, basin and heated towel rail. There is a kitchenette area with single hob, microwave, toaster and kettle, dining and kitchenware. Two comfy chairs and a fold up table for dining. Archie has Wi-Fi and DAB radio. It’s set within its own garden area looking out across the shared garden space. It is set in its own with no other huts and offers a peaceful and relaxing space surrounded by nature and plenty of wildlife. There is a dedicated parking space for Archie from which it is approximately a one minute walk to reach it along a surfaced path. There are three steps up to the front door of the shepherd’s hut. It is approximately a 15 minute to Ullswater and similar distance to Keswick.
Nigel and his family have lived at Laurel Bank for over 20 years and enjoy living in this Lakeland area.
