Seriously, this shepherds hut is so beautifully done!

From the king-sized bed to the well-appointed kitchen to the luxurious en-suite, every inch of the space is locally handcrafted, using a mixture of reclaimed materials.

However, while the inside is seriously beautiful, you’ll want to leave at some point so you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee on the decking outside.

On top of this, your hosts generously offer a welcome pack with sausages, eggs, bacon, tea and coffee, as well as towels, slippers and lots of other lovely little extras.

Price per night: From £143 for 2 people

Location: Greenhead, nr Haltwhistle

The first thing I need to mention when talking about how great Violet Shepherds Hut is, is its location.

Situated just 100m from what is considered to be the most beautiful and dramatic stretch of Hadrian’s Wall, you’re literally sleeping among history here.

The second thing I’ve got to mention is your private wood-fired hot tub which is pretty much a dream come true.

It’s one of the best Northumberland shepherds huts for good reason, after all!

You’ll also discover a kitchen area, dining area, a sitting area with a wood burner, and a shower room inside.

However, what makes this hut so special is its surroundings!

Set in an enclosed field all on its own, there aren’t many Northumberland shepherds huts that feel quite as remote as this one.

What guests say: “The hut is in a wonderful location with panoramic views. The hosts gave us a really warm welcome and had left is a surprise of organic bread, local cheese, butter, scones, jam, eggs and wine.

21. Shearling Shepherds Hut

Price per night: From £101 for 2 people

Location: Belford

If the bed inside Shearling Shepherds Hut isn’t calling your name, I’m not sure what will.

Well, how about some amazing coastal views for the beach bums among you? Maybe that will do the trick!

No matter what draws you to this hut, you’ll have a great time thanks to its beautiful well-equipped interior and its covered veranda that has morning coffee written all over it.

However, if you just want to cosy up inside, you can enjoy views out to Holy Island from the comfort of your bed.

It doesn’t get much better than this!

What guests say: “Lovely little romantic hideaway. Lovely surprise on arrival with a welcome pack of fresh eggs, biscuits and a bottle of wine! Great location, ideally placed to visit nearby Lindisfarne, Bamburgh and the gorgeous coastline.”
