I have lived and worked in the Lake District for 21 years now and I would not want to live anywhere else. I have two sons, my eldest son Sam is 21 years old and a keen wild swimmer, especially in Rydal Water. My youngest son Beren is 16 and enjoys fell running, rugby and football. Both of them keep me on my toes!

I also run a drop in local yoga class in Grasmere and really enjoy walking in the fells whenever I get the opportunity. Rydal is my all time favourite place, a stones throw from Ambleside and right in the centre of the Lakes. Ambleside is a friendly little town with an array of shops, cinemas, and restaurants and a great community spirit.

I have a passion for creating spaces, especially in such idyllic settings as these. The idea behind these beautiful shepherd huts is to provide environmentally friendly holidays where everything is within walking distance of the hut door. People are so busy these days that it is becoming even more important to get away from the complications of modern life and have space in nature to rest the mind and appreciate the moment.
