For free-spirits with a passion for the great outdoors, toasty Teasel will add a quirky and characterful touch to your holiday experience.

With one king size bed (5’ x 6’ 3”) and full size single bunk beds (3’ x 6’ 3”), Teasel has been cleverly designed to maximise space during the day time, with the top bunk folding away to form a seating area.

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

Guests can also hire Colin, a cutesy retro caravan 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.

Teasel sits alongside three further huts, Cow Parsley, Foxglove 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.

Bathroom with electric shower, heated towel rail, basin and WC.

OUTSIDE

There is a picnic table and garden furniture, as well as a fire pit.

Teasel sits in a paddock with three further shepherd’s huts, Cow Parsley, Foxglove 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. 

Location

The huts are 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.

Teasel 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 peace and tranquility of the tucked-away farm setting.

Don't take our word for it...

Lovely couple of days with my kid and dog. Really welcoming host and everything you need for a short stay in the cosy hut. Thank you.
Ms Ahmadi, 1st August 2024

Don't take our word for it...

This little place is fantastic. The location is perfect for a complete hideaway break. Beautiful and quiet surroundings but not far from things to do. The owner was lovely and so helpful and our dog Milo loved making friends with Elvis! The hut itself is stylish, comfortable, warm, clean and perfect for us with some lovely little thoughtful touches. As a hater of New Year, this has got to be one of the best I've ever had! Thank you again and no doubt we will be back.

Our stay in Teasel Shepherd’s Hut was absolutely fantastic. The owner was a great host, and the children loved the cute and cosy hut, the peaceful surroundings and most of all playing with the four dogs. Everything we could need in the kitchen was there, despite the compact nature of the place, and we loved that the owner has an accessible cabin too. The location is great too with loads to see and do round about. We don’t often go back to the same place, but we were all talking about returning before we had even left.

We had a great time, thank you... and the owner was a fabulous host.

We had the most amazing time at Teasel. It was perfect, so laidback. The kids loved the horses, they loved the dogs, they loved the bunk beds. The kids have asked if we can live there. We honestly would if we could... It is perfect. Thank you so much for a lovely mini holiday!!

What a super stay we had at Teasel. The hut is so well and considerately planned for maximum space and comfort. The crockery, bed linen all fixtures and fittings are top quality. We loved the quirky touches like the ‘colanders’ as light shades in the kitchen. The owners are top hosts who clearly have put considerable time, thought and expense and planning into delivering exceptional huts. The surrounding area is superb - beautiful coastline with unspoilt beeches with seals and dolphins as visitors. So much to do. A wonderful stay in a beautiful Shepherds’ Hut in a beautiful setting. 10/10. Going back for the next half term break.

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at Teasel and have made many special memories being there. Our children didn’t want to come home & have already asked if we can return next year and bring their auntie & cousins. The owner was the perfect host making us most welcome. Her Shepherd's Huts are stunning. My husband & I have stayed in a Shepherd's Hut before but it doesn’t have a patch on Teasel. We will be back & will be recommending them to our family and friends.

Rowe family
We had a fantastic time at the Teasel. The hut is so cosy and beautifully furnished. The owner really has thought of everything you may need to make your stay comfortable. The huts are in a perfect location that means you are away from all the hustle and bustle, but it's also not far from all the main highlights of Northumberland. We can't wait to come back!
Lambert family
We had a really lovely time at the Shepherds Hut last weekend. When we arrived the hut was exactly as the photos and beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches such as decanter and cut glasses behind the bed; lots of local leaflets and a good info pack, makeup mirror, hairdryer and a well equipped kitchen. There was nothing we needed but couldn’t find.The fire pit outside was great too and the kids enjoyed sitting round the fire and star gazing. Would highly recommend the huts for either a romantic weekend for two or a family adventure.
Ms Brown
Wonderful hut, warm despite a super cold night. Comfortable beds, great shower room with lots of hot water! Stunning location. Highly recommend!
Mr & Mrs Stewart
We had a fabulous time at Teasal. The hut was spotless and really well equipped and the owner was a really attentive and welcoming host. There was lots to do and see in the local area and we would go back in a heartbeat. All in all a very peaceful and relaxing short break - perfect.
