About this property

Welcome to Hollow Gill Huts

Hollow Gill Huts offers a selection of cosy shepherd’s huts and log cabins nestled within Far Cappleside Farm near Rathmell, Settle. This 5-star property combines elements of a hotel, campground, and holiday home rental, providing a peaceful countryside retreat with rustic yet thoughtfully designed accommodations. Underfloor heating, well-equipped mini kitchens, and wood burners contribute to a comfortable and warm stay, while attention to detail enhances the welcoming atmosphere noted by many guests.

The property’s setting on a working farm allows guests to enjoy scenic rural views and a genuine farm experience, including opportunities to interact with farm life and wildlife.

The accommodation is dog friendly and LGBTQ+ welcoming, reflecting an inclusive atmosphere. Check-in is from 16:00, with check-out by 10:00.

We had the most gorgeous stay in the Wensleydale Hut. Hosts Emma & Pete could not have done any more for us. Views for days and the hut itself is furnished lovely. Perfect base for the three peaks. Cant wait to stay again.

We had the most peaceful and romantic stay at Hollow Gill Huts in Rathmell. The shepherd’s hut is beautifully decorated, cosy, and thoughtfully designed — every detail feels carefully chosen to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The hosts were excellent, adding so many wonderful little touches that made our stay extra special and personal. It really felt like a home away from home. The location is perfect for exploring the area and ideal if you’re tackling the Yorkshire Three Peaks — a fantastic base for walking and climbing. Even visiting during what must have been the wettest February on record, we had the most relaxing and restorative break. We wouldn’t hesitate to return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful countryside escape.

Absolutely incredible place to stay. The views are insane and the huts themselves are spotless, comfortable and warm with everything you could possibly need. Emma and Pete are the best hosts, even invited our son and daughter to feed the calves! Dog friendly too!! Just the most peaceful weekend. We will be back!

We had the loveliest weekend stay at Hollow Gill Guts in their luxury shepherd’s hut. Emma was such a warm and welcoming host – she made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The hut itself was absolutely beautiful – aesthetic, cosy, and spotlessly clean. The mini kitchen had everything we needed for light cooking, which was such a thoughtful touch. We really enjoyed the fire pit, especially since they kindly provided complimentary fire-lighting supplies. Toasting s’mores under the night sky was definitely a highlight. The treats waiting for us on arrival were such a sweet surprise too! The views of the farm from the hut are simply magical, and spotting deer in the morning made it even more special. We loved every moment of our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic getaway. Can’t wait to visit again!

You must visit!! Honestly found an absolute hidden gem here! Everything has been thought about in putting together these lovely huts. It was absolutely spotlessly clean and so cosy the underfloor heating is a treat! The positioning of the 3 huts they have at Hollow Gill make it so private but each having a wonderful view! Attention to detail is outstanding. Then there are the hosts Emma and her family are the cherry on the top! So welcoming and made us feel at home straight away. We will be returning there’s so much to do in the area and this is the perfect place to stay to do it!

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in the Wensleydale shepherd’s hut with our 2 daughters, aged 7 & 5, in July this year. The huts are set in an idyllic location in the Dales and have a fabulous view over the surrounding countryside. Our girls loved running around and playing football in the surrounding field and slept soundly in the cleverly designed bunk beds. The hut was equipped with everything we needed for for a short break away from it all and Emma and Pete were extremely welcoming hosts.

This is our 3rd time staying at the huts and each time we don't want to leave and look at booking again soon as we get home. This time we stayed in the dalesbred hut which is personally my favourite so cosy and romantic with a wood burner. The views are amazing woke up this morning to snow capped hills in the distance. Emma and Pete are amazing hosts it is a working farm so there is always stuff going on and if you want showing round the farm they are always happy too. We've met the cows seen how they are milked and was even lucky enough to come in lambing season and met some lambs in the past. Emma is just a message away if you need anything even sorted me taxi to settle and back. The hut has everything you need for cooking has fast WiFi underfloor heating basically everything you need. Get it booked you won't regret it.
