The Hamlet at Samlesbury Hall

As described. Simple but clean and well presented.

Lovely location. Well laid out areas. My daughter and I took our grandaughters/neices for a w/e. They loved the hut, being able to run around. Very peaceful. The play area is very good, the girls spent ages on it. Excellent for families or even romantic getaways. The hut had double bunk beds, and the toilet/shower room was very clean and ideal for our stay. Tea & coffee facilities in hut a nice touch. Had breakfast at Heritage Tea Room, lovely setting. We used the firepit to toast marshmallows. I would definitely return and recommend it to family & friends

Would have been good to have a mini fridge

Good shower.

Needs some shelving & more hooks for clothes/jackets. Very basic shepherd's hut, could have more comfortable chairs & a space saving fold down table would have been better than the table we had. Fire pit outside was broken ( reported to staff) Only 2 of us in a shepherd's hut ment to accommodate 4. I can't imagine sharing this tiny space with any more people. Shepherd's huts are arranged around picnic benches in groups of 3. Fortunately the other 2 huts were unoccupied, otherwise we would have had very little privacy. The on site restaurant/cafe looked great but service was very poor. Wait to be seated and then forgotten about.

Location was great for a stay over just off the M6. The huts are more like caravans and well equipped. Would be great for a family group as most look to be grouped in threes. Adventure playground is amazing, driving range and crazy golf was open until 9. Easy to order takeaways if you needed too. Even better that we could take our little dog (cost £10 extra) Staff really responsive before stay to answer questions etc via email.

Logs are expensive £10 a bag but included matches and firelighters etc, but convenient! Beds were not that comfy (mattress on wooden base) but since I won't do camping this is a good compromise 😅 Instructions could be a bit clearer about which gate to early exit in the morning, instructions said golf gate (which is up the drive and we didn't use to enter so had no idea was there!) So presumed the golf gate was the one next to the golf entrance, and we got stuck there for half an hour (other people had same issue!) But we eventually got out as the golf staff opened up and arrived. A little map or sentence to say which golf gate would have prevented it.

Easy to get too.

Charged £10 to change after our journey, but the vehicle which we were staying in which they offered to change in was completely ready but instead they wanted extra money. 🙄 Not great bar service, food very plain. Sorry I did not enjoy the experience and didn't use the facility and went home early instead.

Lovely comfortable en suite hut in beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff, great tour and lovely food in both cafes.

The area is very quiet

Nothing

Location Comfortable bed Friendly staff in breakfast room

No allocated seating area outside

The style of accommodation, the shower was powerful and hot, the heating system was good, the cabin was well insulated against the sound of rain, the kids loved the outside space, the bedding was nice and clean, and a shower mat, shower gel, toilet paper, kettle and hot drinks station were provided

The wifi signal was very weak, there was no fridge or cool box, which I should have brought with me, so I struggled a bit with the fresh food aspect . The parking was not immediately next to the hut, and I would imagine that in busy times this place could get noisy;y however, they try to privatise the living spaces with bushes and spaces between huts as much as possible to help with this aspect.
