About this property

Perched in the lovely location of Roosebeck near to the market town of Ulverston is this quaint single-story property, the pleasant hut at MountPleasant farm. Built by the owners and benefitting from a studio-style layout, private garden and pretty views of the lake district, Shepherd’s Hut welcomes a couple, or even two friends sharing, to bask in the ultimate getaway in Cumbria. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home to discover a lovely dining area and kitchen, equipped with a suitable range of appliances so you can whip up tasty meals for your other half. Settle down at the intimate dining table to enjoy mealtimes together, popping open a bottle of bubbly and toasting to a fantastic holiday as you tuck in. If the weather permits, venture to the private garden and delight in an alfresco feast as you soak in your surroundings. When the evening draws to a close, retreat to a sumptuous double bed to catch your sleep and awake in the morning to begin your day in a sleek shower room. For some hearty fare be sure to visit Rampside which offers several pubs and restaurants including The Conicle Inn. Venture into the local village of Roosebeck which lies only paces from the sea and boasts fishing opportunities at high tides; explore the local historic areas of interest by foot, car or bicycle, catch the ferry to Piel Island and sample the local delights at the Ship Inn where each new landlord is crowned 'King of Piel', admire views of the castle ruins or look out for seals from the island. Waleny Island Bird Sanctuary is also within reach where you can experience an array of feathered species, visit Furness Abbey or travel back towards the market town of Ulverston, travel over Birkrigg Common for fantastic views of the lakes and the estuary or tour the druid stone circle. Continue your itinerary at The Dock Museum for a taste of history, try out your swing at Furness Golf Club or tour a great range of pubs, restaurants, and shops where you can stock up on the essentials and enjoy a cold beverage or two. Further afield, journey into the Lake District National Park to enjoy Lakes Aquarium, Wray Castle or embark on a challenging hike to the summit of Scafell Pike. Relish a childhood adventure at The World of Beatrix Potter Attraction before heading to the author’s former home at Hill Top or try out a range of water sports on offer on Lake Windermere. For a truly memorable escape with your other half, stay at The Pleasant Hut at MountPleasant Farm.

Roose, also known as Roosecote, is a charming neighbourhood and ward of Barrow-in-Furness and a great place to start for people looking for a quiet escape in Cumbria. Since "roose" is a Celtic term for "moor" or "heath," this area should have no shortage of places to observe the natural world. There is a lot to discover both in the immediate vicinity and farther afield in the region that includes Piel Island, Roa Island, Rampside, and Stank. The neighbourhood is served by the Roose railway station, one of the few remaining stops on the Furness Line in the Barrow area, as well as a variety of pubs and stores that cater to all tastes and are great for any self-catered visit. The nearby town of Barrow-in-Furness offers a greater range of entertainment options, including a cinema, the Dock Museum where you can discover the fascinating local history, a golf course, a lovely beach, and much more. Spend a day in Ulverston to enjoy fantastic shopping, the Laurel and Hardy Museum's wonders, glassblowing demonstrations, and the Sir John Barrow Monument, which is open all year long. The Lake District National Park is stunning and well worth a visit for its breathtaking landscape. With its dazzling lakes and untamed fell slopes, it offers walking and cycling experiences unlike any other. With so much excitement nearby, Roose is an excellent starting point for exploring Cumbria's coast and countryside.
