Welcome to Laverock How - Shepherds Hut & Hot Tub

Laverock How offers an unforgettable escape. Our shepherds hut, complete with a private wood fired hot tub, provides the perfect sanctuary to unwind and reconnect with nature. From your doorstep, enjoying the breathtaking panoramic views stretching across the fells, out to the sea, and even catching a glimpse of the distant Isle of Man.

We are on a small holding, with sheep in the surrounding fields, we have alpacas, donkeys, goats and hens, providing fresh eggs for your welcome pack. There is a horse arena with floodlights available for use, if you want an area your dog can run about in. We have bridle paths from the property up onto the fells.

Due to our rural location internet & phone coverage is patchy.
