An eccentric hut that oozes beach bum charm and is just minutes from the sandy expanses of Northumberland’s Heritage Coast.

From vintage waterskis mounted on the bedroom wall to a driftwood mobile in the bathroom, and evocative deckchair striped fabric curtains framing the living room, Berrington Beach Hut is pure beach charm. Built from larch wood to resemble a trio of adjoining beach huts, with expansive private timber deck, the property delivers all the fun of hut living while adding space, comfort and mod-cons.

Berrington Beach Hut enjoys a tranquil, rural setting in a paddock encompassed by a 1,000-acre working farm. The steading is located just four miles from Cheswick Sands, one of Northumberland’s most impressive beaches with vast swathes of dune-backed sand and panoramic views to Holy Island of Lindisfarne, itself only 8.5 miles away. When you’re not out exploring the local beaches and sights, you can settle into the hammock, placed temptingly in the Beach Hut’s front garden, cosy up around the fire pit and linger over extended meals on the sun-drenched timber deck.

A pair of doors lead from the deck into a whimsical living area which radiates beach bum charm with its blue-washed timber panels and enamelware colander lamp shade. There’s a compact kitchen, rustic wooden dining table and pair of comfy chairs to relax in and contemplate the ‘real flame effect’ tubular heater stove. Leading off to one side is the master bedroom, a fun and light-filled room whose timber panelled walls are partially painted to match the deckchair striped headboard. Subtle strip lighting, concealed by a slim picture rail, throws light upwards to the pitched roof, giving an unexpected sense of height, while the window facing the bed calls out for lazy breakfasts in bed watching the countryside wake up.

A bathroom with electric shower, basin and WC leads off to the other side of the living area while a mezzanine floor, accessed by a Companionway ladder, features two 3’ twin beds snuggled beneath the blue and white painted pitched roof. Ideal for older children comfortable with climbing ladders, this floor is also accessible via an external set of steps.

Two dogs are welcome. Horses are welcome with prior notice. There is grazing and stabling available on site at additional cost.

Berrington Beach Hut sits alongside three shepherd's huts, Foxglove, Teasel and Cow Parsley each sleeping up to four guests which are ideal for guests who wish to holiday together. Foxglove is also adapted for guests who are mobility impaired.

Location

At the most northerly tip of Northumberland lies Berwick-upon-Tweed. A walled town on the England-Scotland border with a turbulent past, it has been captured or sacked over a dozen times throughout history. Built to keep invading Scots from entering the town, a walk along these Elizabethan walls offers spectacular views across the River Tweed estuary and Berwick’s most famous landmark, The Royal Border Bridge. Fast trains between Edinburgh and London stop at Berwick-upon-Tweed, making it an ideal place for a coastal getaway without a car.

Artist L.S. Lowry was a huge fan of Berwick and there is a specially-curated Lowry Trail to explore, the town being home to a thriving arts and cultural scene. The area also has a rich food heritage and there is something to cater for all tastes and budgets, from fish and chips – best enjoyed on the promenade – to cosy pubs and cafés.

In addition to its fascinating history and Georgian architecture, the wider area boasts mile upon mile of fantastic beaches just made for lazy picnics and outdoor adventures. Spittal beach is popular with families, while the beautiful Cocklawburn, Goswick and Cheswick beaches all sit close by. The stunning sights at Bamburgh and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne are also both less than half an hour’s drive away.

The Little Things We Love

The traditional clapboard exterior and colour-washed interior add to the classic British beach hut vibe.

Don't take our word for it...

The Beach Hut is beautifully designed, warm, cozy, comfortable, well thought through, with everything we needed on hand. Surrounded by stunning rural scenery and a very helpful, friendly host. Close drive to many Northumberland experiences and attractions. Highly recommend to anyone.

Don't take our word for it...

A fabulous three nights spent at The Beach Hut. My children age 14 and 12 enjoyed the upper level with two beds - a cosy private space of their own. The main bedroom is so relaxing looking out over the paddock - we even spied a deer. The outdoor space is lovely with a fire pit and seats. Lovely hammock and reclining chairs on a huge decking area. Shower, utensils and décor all fabulous with your every need catered for. Bedding is lovely and fresh and cosy for cooler nights. We can not recommend The Beach Hut enough - not too far from home but far enough to feel you are breaking away. A true gem. Our fourth visit and more to come.

We had the best break at the Beach Hut. What a perfect location to escape and relax. So peaceful and a beautiful setting. The kids loved exploring whilst we had chance to relax and enjoy the beautiful views from the terrace. Slept brilliantly and loved exploring the local area so much to see and do from hikes in the Northumberland National Park to exploring the amazing coastline, National Trust properties. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay!

Don't take our word for it...

We had a great few days in Northumberland. We booked out all 4 Shepherds huts at South Berrington and there were 10 adults, 5 kids and 8 dogs in total. It was perfect for our large family group as we had the whole site to ourselves. The huts were well equipped, clean, and came with salt and pepper, washing up liquid, cloths, hand wash etc. The stargazing was amazing, and we gathered around the fire pit to watch the meteor shower. The first night's firewood was complementary with following nights attracting a small charge, which we felt was very reasonable! The site is a great base and within easy reach of Berwick and Lindisfarne and lots of smaller beaches. Top tips - the Lindisfarne Inn is dog friendly and were very accommodating with our large group and the pebbled beach at the end of Lindisfarne island was the best spot to seal watch. The beach at Bamburgh was one of the" best we've ever been to, and so unspoiled - park in the castle car park and walk the path between the green and the castle to get to the sand dunes and beach.
