Beautiful and clean , We loved the kitchen it had everything needed and the decor in there was very cosy looking xx Bed was so comfy .. We highly recommend having a shower this is the best shower we have experienced in all the shepherds huts we have visited . Very helpful owners who left exactly what we had asked ( milk , logs ) x. Warmed up in seconds with the log burner fire

I needed some peace and quiet so booked Woodland View hut for a few days, which proved to be ideal. The setting is one of not complete solitude, given that there is Meadow view hut and four barn rooms/suites, but you are certainly sufficiently far enough away to feel no intrusion. I will list the pros and cons below for ease. Pros: Communication - Information provided proved to be easy to assimilate, with any queries answered quickly and politely by the hosts. Location - This part of Northumberland is starkly beautiful and remote, hence less tourists and crowding. Reaching there is dependent upon your location, but coming in on the A68 avoids several miles of smaller roads. The village of Falstone is small, but there is a tea room (with EV charging point) and the Blackcock Inn (open Wed to Sun). Petrol is available at nearby Kielder (unattended pay at pump) or Bellingham (9 miles and also home to a small Co-op, shops and pubs). The accommodation is easy to locate and spotlessly clean. Property - The Hut forms part of a small complex, sitting away from the converted barn accommodation. Access is via a key lockbox and there is a small fire pit, table and chairs in the garden area to the front. The hut is fitted with a stable door, perfect for half opening on sunny mornings. Once inside there is a double bed, which has two deep drawer storage compartments underneath and a small built in wardrobe/hanging area behind. For relaxing there is a small 2-seater and two chairs at the breakfast table. This area also has a small wood burner for those colder nights, although the hut proved to be well insulated. At the opposite end are the kitchen and bathroom, both well appointed. Cooking is via a small oven with two rings on top (I had boil in the bag meals with me which meant easy cooking). The bathroom itself has a large shower, with plenty of hot water on nearly immediate delivery. Activities - The hut has a few tourist maps to peruse and take with you on days out. Alnwick and Bamburgh/Lindisfarne are just over an hour away. Closer is Keilder Forest (walking and seasonal water sports activities), and when not being used, Otterburn Ranges (due to the use of live artillery rounds, access is only on tarmac roads, footpaths and bridleways - see “northumberlandnational park.org.uk” for details of when and how to access this area). Hadrians wall is also around a pleasant 1 hour trip to the south, featuring some nice small towns including Hexham and Corbridge. Going further afield, Berwick is worth a visit. Surprisingly, I found that just sitting watching the stars whilst having a glass of wine proved extremely restful, both mentally and physically. For those who like their history, “the King in the North” by Max Adams opens up a host of locations to visit if so inclined. Cons: Communication - There is no mobile phone signal (or internet at the hut) given the remoteness; therefore, ensure that if anyone needs to contact you in an emergency they have the

Amazing. We stayed in the Woodland View Posh Hut and it was just perfect. Incredibly well equipped. It was lovely and warm and we completely switched off and relaxed for the weekend. The view was great for watching the wildlife. Thank you so much. We will definitely be back.
