For a cool glamping getaway, why not explore your sense of adventure and embrace the great outdoors.

With one king size bed (5’ x 6’ 3”) and full size single bunk beds (3’ x 6’ 3”), Foxglove can accommodate up to four guests. To maximise space, bunk beds cleverly convert to bench seating for day time use.

The hut features a small galley kitchen area with an electric two ring hob, a microwave combination oven, under-counter fridge, toaster and kettle, and a DAB radio. There is an extendable dining table for up to four guests.

A large raised deck with ramp access has been designed to support the needs of mobility impaired guests, and just off the kitchen is a wet room with electric shower, basin and WC.

For the cooler months the hut is super-insulated, and has electric tubular heating.

Foxglove sits alongside three further huts, Cow Parsley, Teasel and Berrington Beach Hut, each sleeping up to four guests which are ideal for larger parties who wish to holiday together.

OUTSIDE

There is a picnic table and garden furniture, as well as a fire pit. Foxglove sits in a paddock with three further shepherd’s huts, Cow Parsley, Teasel and The Beach Hut, 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 shepherd’s huts are located. Parking sits to the left of the farm entrance which is approximately 50 yards from the site entrance. Separate parking provision is available at Foxglove for guests with mobility impairment. 

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.

The Little Things We Love

Perfect for cosy winter stays curled up in blankets around the fire.

Don't take our word for it...

I would just like to praise our wonderful stay at Foxglove. The shepherd's hut was absolutely fantastic; every detail had been thought of in the construction of them. The setting was beautiful and we had access to all the fields around the hut which was fantastic as we had our dogs with us. The owner was brilliant, we received a warm welcome and she was more than happy to suggest places to visit etc. We will most definitely be returning!

Completely delightful, start to finish. It's more a luxury tiny house than a hut, and felt like a very indulgent finale to St. Cuthbert's Way. And Rachel couldn't have been more accommodating.

Had a great holiday in Foxglove. Shepherd's hut was lovely. Well equipped and owner was very helpful and friendly. Very relaxing holiday and would definitely go back.

We had a lovely time at Foxglove. The owner was lovely and happy to answer any questions. The shepherd hut was lovely and clean, very quiet and a great base for our bank holiday adventures!

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. Would recommend it to anyone. Lovely location for views and cosy little cabin. Perfect.

Don't take our word for it...

We just wanted to let you know what a lovely time we had at your Shepherd’s Huts. We stayed in both Foxglove and Cow Parsley during our stay and were so impressed with the thoughtful layout in both huts, the lovely décor and how well equipped the huts are. Our hosts were very welcoming, accommodating and attentive. Our girls had a fantastic time sleeping in Colin the Caravan for two nights. Apparently the “best and cosiest night’s sleep they have ever had".
Eustace family, 19th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had a lovely time in Foxglove. Rachel met us on arrival and showed us around and was very welcoming. The hut was very spacious and cosy with a comfortable bed and a good shower room. The owner was very informative about the local area and the Northumberland coastline is a sight to behold with breathtaking views. We would recommend Foxglove because the owner is a great host, the outlook is peaceful and scenic and it is a great base to explore the many beautiful places on the Northumberland coast.
Mr & Mrs Booth, 19th March 2024

Don't take our word for it...

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Foxglove. The hut was lovely, the setting was fantastic and we were in a perfect location to discover the coastline of Northumberland and the Borders. We would definitely recommend it to others!
