A fabulous shepherd’s hut positioned right by the River Esk, Esk Escape is a fabulous secluded shepherds hut, ideal for a romantic getaway. On the outskirts of the north-west Cumbrian market town of Longtown, shopping and eating amenities are near at hand, and the Scottish border is just 4 miles away at Gretna Green. The Solway Coast Area of Natural Beauty begins at Rockcliffe Marsh just across the river from Gretna and has scenic walking and cycling routes, while at Bowness-on-Solway, 20 miles away, the Hadrian’s Wall Walk begins its march eastwards – a rewarding route for history lovers. The beguiling city of Carlisle is 9.5 miles away – don’t miss a tour of medieval Carlisle Castle, and afterwards enjoy the city’s huge variety of shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, all on the doorstep of the magnificent castle.
Chic touches and clever use of space throughout give this superb, deceptively simple property a feeling of true luxury. Upon entering, guests arrive in an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, where there is armchair seating by a wood burner, a Smart TV, a compact dining table and chairs, and a smart fitted kitchen. Beyond the kitchen area, there is a shower room with a walk-in shower, and beyond the lounge area, there is a cosy double bedroom with under-bed storage and windows to take in the views.
Outdoors, guests have an enclosed, paving-and-gravel patio at their disposal, a terrific, private space which encompasses a hot tub and wooden gazebo, a fire pit, BBQ, and bench seating. Finally, a stunning decked terrace right by the riverbank with a bistro-style table and chairs is the perfect spot from which to enjoy a glass of wine and take in the idyllic views and abundance of wildlife.
