Cow Parsley Shepherd's Hut
Accommodating up to four guests, Cow Parsley makes clever use of space with one 4'6" double bed with a full size single bunk bed above, and seating which converts to another single bed (3’ x 6’) when required. Creative storage solutions ensure that every area is well utilised.
The hut features a small galley kitchen area with small larder, an electric two ring hob, a microwave combination oven, under-counter fridge, toaster, kettle, and a DAB radio.
There is also a breakfast bar dining space for up to four guests. Just off the kitchen is a small bathroom with electric shower, basin and WC.
For the cooler months the hut is super-insulated and has electric tubular heating and an electric ‘real flame effect’ stove.
Cow Parsley sits in a paddock alongside three further shepherd's huts, Foxglove, Teasel and Berrington Beach Hut, 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, as well as the pretty villages of Beal and Ancroft.
