True countryside living with a touch of comfort. Sat on the original stone floor of a former cow byre, this cosy Shepherd’s Hut is surrounded by idyllic countryside and the magical North Pennines AONB. The views are stunning, the peace unbroken and the night skies incredible.
It is the perfect base for a few relaxing days in the countryside or to explore the superb hiking and biking routes.

The Hideaway is larger than your average shepherd’s hut, with a double bed, a mini fitted kitchen and a log burner to keep the whole space warm. The hut also has a seperate shower room with a stunning Moroccan basin, flushing loo and warm shower. There is also plenty of room to store baggage and other stuff around the hut. An old bench is the perfect place to sip your morning coffee surrounded by wonderful views and a BBQ provides the setting for some memorable evenings. Also provided are camping chairs - you’ll find them under the bed. You can also cool down from a long walk in the large freestanding plunge bath (only for the brave!) secluded behind the hut.
