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.

Guests can also hire Colin, a cutesy retro caravan at an additional cost (subject to availability) where the younger members of the family can have their own little mini adventure - a fun den for day use but set-up for sleeping capacity too!

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.

A companionway ladder leads to a first floor mezzanine sleeping area for two children with two single beds which are 3’ x 6’3”and 3’ x 5’ (the latter has an optional extension when slid into the middle of the floor to make it full length). 

An external set of steps leads from the mezzanine level for fire safety and to allow for external access.

Due to the access to the mezzanine level, it is not suitable for children under six years old. Please note the mezzanine level is not full height.

Large decked area with outside dining furniture and a fire pit.

The Beach Hut sits in a paddock with three shepherd’s huts: Foxglove, Teasel and Cow Parsley, each sleeping up to four guests. Please note, there is not designated enclosed space around each individual shepherd's hut.

No vehicle access is permitted in the paddock where the huts are located. Parking sits to the left of the farm entrance which is approximately 50 yards from the site entrance.

Location

Berrington Beach Hut is well located for exploring the local area, sitting approximately 4 miles from the stunning Northumberland coastline and around 12 miles from the Northumberland National Park.

Berrington Beach Hut sits approximately 3.5 miles from the village of Lowick where you can buy a range of provisions from the well-stocked village store, including freshly baked bread, cakes and scones as well as lovely local produce. 10 miles and 10.5 miles respectively will take you to the charming villages of Belford and Wooler where you will find a good selection of small town shopping, as well as a selection of eateries, inns and pubs.

The charming Ford & Etal Estate is 6.8 miles away and has a range of delightful tearooms and small independent shops, as well as The Black Bull pub where you can enjoy a filling pub lunch with a refreshing ale, brewed just 2 minutes up the road on the estate.

Alternatively, a more extensive range of amenities, including large supermarkets, can be found in Berwick-upon-Tweed just a short 7.5 mile drive away. Head to Bridge Street in the town, where a thriving street full of small independent names and quirky shops can be found. From an eco-friendly retail shop and wool studio to a music shop and gallery, there is something for everyone on this community lead street. For further food delights, you will not be short for options. The area has a rich food heritage and there is something to cater for all tastes and budgets here. Enjoy tasty fish and chips on the promenade, cosy pubs, characterful cafes including Northern Edge Coffee and The Corner House, or bistro restaurants such as The Maltings Kitchen and The Queen's Head serving tempting light-bites or a pre-theatre dinner.

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.

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.
