Beautiful area

Guests love this home’s scenic location.
Our beautiful shepherd's hut sits in four acres of secluded woodland in rural Hexhamshire. Enjoy the peaceful solitude, with glimpsed views through the mature oaks onto the North Pennines. Surrounded by miles of footpaths, bridleways and moorland, there are walking, cycling and riding options in every direction. Nearby rural pubs offer delicious local ales and fantastic food; or try some home raised, rare breed pork over the firepit grill, then a drink on the raised deck in the evening sun.

The space
Every inch of the hut is locally handcrafted, using a mixture of reclaimed materials and based on a traditional solid oak chassis. The spacious hut is fully appointed with shower room, flush toilet, a king-sized bed and wood-burning stove. The kitchen has a double gas hob, electric oven and fridge with freezer compartment. Outside a raised deck is a great place to relax with a drink and the nearby former pigsty with firepit and grill will shelter you in even the harshest weather. You'll find it cosy and peaceful under the clear dark skies, any time of year. Help yourself to eggs from the hen house and keep an eye out for the visiting wildlife.

Neighbourhood highlights

Our setting in The Shire is a mix of farmland, woodland and heather moorland with rolling hills, ancient tracks, wild rivers and an abundance of wildlife. The Traveller's Rest pub at Slaley or the Dipton Mill Inn (with attached Hexhamshire Brewery) provide perfect walking destinations. Or, if you're feeling energetic, a walk or cycle over the fell to the excellent Lord Crewe arms in Blanchland is a great way to see the beautiful local area. A range of walking and cycling routes for all abilities are available from the doorstep.
