About

The story

Tucked away at Far Cappleside Farm above the village of Rathmell, these huts sit in the quiet folds of country just south of Settle, where the Dales begin to rise. It's the kind of place you come to slow right down — waking to birdsong, walking straight out into open hillside, and watching the light shift across the valley long into the evening. With a spotless reputation among those who've found it, this is countryside escapism done properly: understated, unhurried, and genuinely away from it all.

Our word

A flawless five-star record across more than fifty stays, in a beautifully remote Dales-edge setting, marks this out as a shepherd hut worth the drive. It delivers exactly the peace and privacy people hope for and rarely find.
