Shepherd’s hut holidays in Northumberland

Unpolluted skies and majestic, deserted beaches await in Northumberland. This wild land of atmospheric castles and hidden bays is best experienced up close and personal in one of our snug, stylish shepherd’s huts. You won’t be required to herd any sheep, but you will get that nostalgic camping feeling as you cuddle up in your cosy sanctuary surrounded by nature. Some of our shepherd’s huts in Northumberland are off-grid, so you can completely switch off for a few days. Settle into a slower pace of life, as you cook over the campfire and experience some of the most epic star gazing the UK has to offer.

Why book a shepherd's hut break with Canopy & Stars?

We’ve personally inspected every one of our huts to make sure they’re a shepherd’s delight. We doze in front of the wood burner, visit the local pub, test the shower and sleep in the beds. Our Northumberland shepherd’s huts are blissfully tranquil places to press pause and experience a deep sense of peace, as you gaze at the sweeping views from your outdoor deck or bubbling hot tub.
