The Snug, Longtown

The Snug is a bespoke shepherd's hut tucked away in a private landscaped development near the Scottish border. This little gem sits beside Carwinley Beck in Cumbria, offering a perfect escape from the daily grind. Complete privacy and tranquility make The Snug exactly what its name suggests – a cosy retreat for two.

Your private screened area comes with its own seating spot and fire pit right next to the gentle sounds of Carwinley Beck. Want to feel really alive? Try the outdoor cold shower after sweating it out in your private hot tub. Nothing says "I'm on holiday" like sitting in bubbling water with a glass of something cold while your other half tries to toast marshmallows without setting them on fire.

Inside this compact but perfectly formed hut, you'll find an open plan living space with a double bed, wet room with shower and a kitchen area equipped with fridge, microwave, portable induction hob and a Belfast sink. The welcome pack includes logs and marshmallows – because what's a shepherd's hut without some slightly burnt sugar on a stick?

Located just 6 miles from Gretna Green (in case you get any ideas) and 10 miles from Carlisle with its castle and cathedral. The stunning Hadrian's Wall is within easy reach and the River Esk offers beautiful walks and fishing spots. All this less than a mile from the nearest pub!

The Snug is perfect for couples seeking a romantic break with luxury in a small package. Spotlessly clean, incredibly comfortable and that hot tub... need I say more?
