2 Shepherds Huts
Luxury Glamping

Luxury shepherds huts on the Yorkshire-Lancashire border

Right on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border, just 6 miles from Skipton and the Yorkshire Dales, Copy House Farm is home to two perfectly appointed shepherd’s huts that give new meaning to the term 'luxury glamping'. Not only do these sumptuous residences for two feature all the amenities you would expect in a high-end hotel room – double beds, their own kitchen spaces and en-suite shower rooms – every attention has been given to the finer details of their decor, with Abraham Moon fabrics and ultra-comfy pocket-sprung mattresses with a choice of summer or winter duvets.

In the morning you can enjoy a Nespresso coffee as you enjoy the south-facing views plan your day’s activities – perhaps a walk along the Pendle Way, which runs through the farm, or a drive to Malham Cove or Gordale Scar – before enjoying your very own hot tub on your return. Indeed one of the best features of the accommodation here is the fact that each shepherd’s hut has an adjoining log cabin, where the hot tub, extra seating and heaters are found. This seems to vastly extend the space and is excellent for cooler months too, while a large sliding door also lets you open the cabin up to the outdoors in summer.

From the complimentary “Out of Eden” toiletry packs to the milk and butter ready-stocked in your fridge, Phil and Lisa also understand the finer points of hosting. Lisa was a long-haul aeroplane cabin manager for over 30 years before working in hospitality, so she certainly knows how to be a good host and is happy to help with pub recommendations, day-trip suggestions and good walking routes. And with the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and Nidderdale AONB all just a short drive away, you’ll never be short of things to do. That is, if you can bring yourself to leave!

Details

Facilities

Huts feature a double bed (converts into a sofa; towels and bedding all provided), a log burner, seating, a dining table and a compact kitchen area with a fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster, Nespresso coffee machine, a two-ring induction hob and all the crockery, cutlery and utensils you’ll need. Basic foodstuffs and condiments are provided. Huts are en-suite, with a shower, flushing loo and basin, with toiletries provided. There are heated towel rails and USB charging points. Free WiFi connection. Outside, you’ll find a wood-fired hot tub, a seating area, boot storage, an infra-red heater, a firepit and BBQ and beautiful festoon lighting. Parking is directly behind each hut. Safe bike storage is available.

Suitable For

People who want to get away from it all. Ideal for walkers and cyclists with many outdoor pursuits and places of interest within easy reach.

Nearby

The Pendle Way runs through the field next to the glamping site, making the place ideal for walkers (which takes in Pendle Hill, amongst other top spots). But while the local walking is excellent (and the views from Copy House Farm are sure to draw you out), for most people the real hiking attractions are a short drive away in the Yorkshire Dales. It takes less than 15 minutes to drive to Skipton (the delightful town, an attraction in its own right), from where you cross the national park boundary. It’s 25 minutes to Bolton Abbey, around the same to Malham Cove and a touch more to Gordale Scar, while walking the Dales Way up to Appletreewick (great pubs en route) is popular, with ample spots to swim in the River Wharfe during summer.

Food & Drink

There are a couple of good pubs within a mile of the shepherd’s huts. The Craven Heifer (01282 843007) in Kelbrook is recently renovated in a modern style, with a separate bar and high-class dining areas (plenty of outdoor seating to rear), while Black Lane Ends (01282 863070), on the old road from Colne to Skipton overlooking the Pennine Moors, is an independent free house with an excellent reputation for food (served daily from 12–9pm in the two rooms either side of the bar). It’s particularly good for walkers on the Pendle Way, as is The Hare & Hounds (01535 631200) in Lothersdale, a popular community pub with a large main bar with fires at both ends. Four beers are always available on handpulls, one of which is "Lothersale Blonde". For a lighter daytime bite, try Utopia (01756 692522) at Broughton Hall.

The Owner Says

Two beautifully appointed shepherd’s huts with panoramic views along the Yorkshire/Lancashire border. Each hut has an adjoining log cabin with an indoor seating area and eco hot tub. Everything has been done to a high standard, with a Krups coffee machine, Lloydloom dining chairs, Abraham Moon fabrics and hotel grade pocket sprung mattresses with a choice of duvets (summer or winter).

The huts have a Hobbit log burning stove and a fully functioning kitchen area with an induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, toaster and kettle. The bathrooms have a heated towel rail, complimentary “Out of Eden” toiletry packs, hair dryer, shower, small sink and flushing toilet.

Fresh water wood fired hot tubs are housed in adjoining log cabins which also have a seating area with panoramic views over the countryside and infra-red heating for when it gets cold.

Outside there are seats and tables along with a fire pit which doubles up as a BBQ. Soft lighting sets the scene for a relaxing evening.

Outdoor rugs, bed linen, towels, bathrobes and bike storage are all included. A starter pack of kiln dried logs are included, further packs are available by request. Parking is directly behind the hut.

Free WiFi is provided in each hut.

Social Distancing Measures

Our rural location lends itself perfectly to social distancing. Each hut is totally self-contained with no shared facilities. There are only two huts and they are over 55ft feet apart. At check-in, social distancing will be strictly observed. Our cleaning, including the hot tub, is always completed to the highest standard and with the introduction of additional sanitising to all areas, we aim to reduce the risk of possible infection to as low as possible. We are using Evans Safe Zone Plus Vircucidal Disinfectant on all our hard surfaces (this is the cleaning solution used by our local authority and schools at present). If you prefer to bring for own linen and towels please contact us prior to your arrival so the beds and bathroom can be left undressed. Your health and safety is of paramount importance to us at Copy House during your stay with us. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any concerns or worries.
