We had a lovely relaxing 3 night stay in the shepherd hut on the doorstep of the beautiful Craven Arms. A nice welcome box of assorted breakfast items was there when we arrived. The hut was so warm and cozy with underfloor heating and log burner and the view was breathtaking.
Fabulous stay, small, cosy, intimate and cute. Well equipped, very nicely done and spotless. Great pub next door, excellent food, service and atmosphere.
Would definitely return.
Good location with walks directly from the door. The hut whilst relatively basic has a good shower however limited wet shave facilities as sink is far to small with no motor. Personally I think a small fridge would add so much more convenience. Lovely welcome pack of Tea Coffee and a small selection of breakfast items. We took our dog and where the huts are positioned would suggest the owners put a gate between the hut and carpark. I guess just need to be mindful it’s a Shepards Hut so won’t have luxuries
Excellent location. Clean, tidy and comfortable. Excellent to have a wood burning stove in the hut, for me a real selling point. However a shortage of fuel was a problem after asking repeatedly at the pub where check in/ out is managed there was still no fuel brought and while there was a small amount to start with it soon ran out and also it was peat log fuel so not as eco friendly as it could be however still very cosy and warm. Underfloor heating was nice although still quite cold at night and no extra blankets provided. Overall very nice stay and no real complaints.
If suggest to owner the following points...
A clock in hut would be useful.
Extra blankets or similar
Increase fuel supply maybe?
Extra shelf or similar on Wall at foot of bed?
Seriously though had a lovely time. Thank you so much!
Ideal base if you don’t want to stay in the big towns around. But everything within easy reach with a car. Initially booked as I could take my dog, which she loved. But be aware there are lots of cattle and sheep around. Pub is brilliant, very quirky and lovely staff. But they are always busy for evening meals, so best to book ahead.
Wonderful stay.
Clean, cosy comfortable and a Welcome Pack of foods, teas and coffees.
Lovely pub with a great menu and beer selection.
Great staff and Service.
Lovely little Shepherds hut with everything you need for a few nights stay. Even got an unexpected breakfast hamper which was nice. Underfloor heating as well as log burner in the hut, so very cosy. Ideal location for lots of nice walks and right behind a country pub for good beers and food.
From start to finish I was very well looked after, the pub was very accommodating in terms of preparing my evening meal so as I could go hiking and eat it when I came back after kitchen was closed! Very relaxing night indeed! On a personal note, it would have been perfect if mattress was better, I suffer with a bad back anyway but I think the springs had seen better days
This was. In a totally stunning location. The huts were beautiful and lots of thought put into them. Loved the little fire in the hut really helped warm up the hut. Food was great in the pub but book a table as they get busy.
Just what it says, a typical shepherds hut with the necessary bathroom facilities, so no phone or internet, although these were available in the main building. Got away from it all and barely noticed the gales blow through with the passing storm.

Wow we was both very impressed and pleased with our shepherds hut ! Love the setting they are in. These are a very quirky stay very cosy loved the on board breakfast we was left on arrival ! Would definitely recommend and return. Staff at the adjoining pub are very welcoming and helpful. These huts are definitely a must to try x

A rustic and grand few nights in the Shepherd's Huts behind the Craven Arms at Appletreewick. The location was beautiful and the huts were unique and fun!

Disliked: Staff & service
As the weather was dry and sunny all week, living in a shepherd's hut was pleasant. The location is stunning. The hut was well equipped with toilet and shower with hot water. The breakfast tray was quite limited. There is ample car parking. I was not aware, or perhaps I had overlooked the fact that the hut was not serviced at all during my stay. As long as guests are prepared to make their own bed and empty their own waste bin, the accommodation is fine. Being woken by nature stirring around 4am was blissful and a cathartic change from urban life.
Fantastic setting in glorious Yorkshire countryside. Very warm and comfortable shepherd's hut. Lovely pub with good food and service. Quiet location... Absolute gem of a place and reasonably priced.
