You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to scenic views, as the farm’s 360 acre estate is steeped in authentic Iron Age history and includes a 40-acre beech wood, a rippling lake and plenty of lush foliage all around.

Whatever direction you happen to be looking in, you’re bound to see something magical…even at night, as Beacon Hill is located on the border of Dark Sky Park, the very best place in England to enjoy a spot of truly dazzling stargazing.

The three Hideaways, Bluegrass, Ryegrass and Foxtail, are each perfect for a cosy romantic break for two, and include all the creature comforts you might expect from a plush hotel suite.  Privately situated in a tranquil wildflower meadow – the very best site on Beacon Hill! – you’ll experience the very best of indoor and outdoor living.

The Hideaways are fully heated, and include electricity and WiFi (with a Bose Bluetooth speaker included if you feel like setting the perfect musical mood!).

The spacious living area includes all you need to simply sit back and relax, and when it’s time to dine you’ll find everything you need to whip up a romantic feast – perhaps followed by a glass of wine as you snuggle up in front of the wood burning stove. There’s also a fire pit and barbecue outside for al-fresco dining under a starry canvas.

When it’s time to turn in, you’ll find the bedroom is gorgeously comfy with a luxury five-foot bed, perfectly positioned for you to enjoy refreshing beech wood views as you wake. The bathroom is well-equipped with a warming shower and a flushing toilet.

What the guests of Beacon Hill Hideaways say

“An Exceptional Shepherd’s Hut”
An exquisite place to stay, with exceptional design and
comfort. Spacious, well laid out and a particularly comfortable double bed with
lovely views across the fields. It’s hard to imagine that a shepherd’s hut
could be more attractive – they really have pulled out all the stops here. All
the furnishings are contemporary and Alun the owner is most welcoming.

“Perfect hideaway”
Every detail in Bluegrass was perfect with the wood
burner already lit, fresh flowers and wine waiting. The hut’s rooms are stylish
and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The comfortable raised
bed has amazing views across the fields to the coast and deer, pheasant and
barn owls kept us company. It’s a short walk to the swimming pool and spa. and
Very highly recommended – we can’t wait to go back.

“A fabulous Shepherd’s hut!”
Recommended by a friend, we stayed at the lovely
shepherd’s hut for 3 nights! The charming hut has everything you need for a
cosy stay and spa facilities are definitely worth a visit! Finished to a high
standard, it’s clean &warm, all you need after a wander in Northumberland! We’ll definitely come back!
