BERRINGTON BEACH HUT - 4 miles from beach, 7.5 miles to Berwick, sleeps 2+2

An eccentric hut that oozes beach bum charm and is just minutes from the sandy expanses of Northumberland’s Heritage Coast.
From vintage waterskis mounted on the bedroom wall to a driftwood mobile in the bathroom, and evocative deckchair striped fabric curtains framing the living room, Berrington Beach Hut is pure beach charm. Built from larch wood to resemble a trio of adjoining beach huts, with expansive private timber deck, the property delivers all the fun of hut living while adding space, comfort and mod-cons.

Berrington Beach Hut enjoys a tranquil, rural setting in a paddock encompassed by a 1,000-acre working farm. The steading is located just four miles from Cheswick Sands, one of Northumberland’s most impressive beaches with vast swathes of dune-backed sand and panoramic views to Holy Island of Lindisfarne, itself only 8.5 miles away. When you’re not out exploring the local beaches and sights, you can settle into the hammock, placed temptingly in the Beach Hut’s front garden, cosy up around the fire pit and linger over extended meals on the sun-drenched timber deck.

A pair of doors lead from the deck into a whimsical living area which radiates beach bum charm with its blue-washed timber panels and enamelware colander lamp shade. There’s a compact kitchen, rustic wooden dining table and pair of comfy chairs to relax in and contemplate the ‘real flame effect’ tubular heater stove. Leading off to one side is the master bedroom, a fun and light-filled room whose timber panelled walls are partially painted to match the deckchair striped headboard. Subtle strip lighting, concealed by a slim picture rail, throws light upwards to the pitched roof, giving an unexpected sense of height, while the window facing the bed calls out for lazy breakfasts in bed watching the countryside wake up.

A bathroom with electric shower, basin and WC leads off to the other side of the living area while a mezzanine floor, accessed by a Companionway ladder, features two 3’ twin beds snuggled beneath the blue and white painted pitched roof. Ideal for older children comfortable with climbing ladders, this floor is also accessible via an external set of steps.

Two dogs are welcome. Horses are welcome with prior notice. There is grazing and stabling available on site at additional cost.

Berrington Beach Hut sits alongside three shepherd's huts, Foxglove, Teasel and Cow Parsley each sleeping up to four guests which are ideal for guests who wish to holiday together. Foxglove is also adapted for guests who are mobility impaired.

GROUND FLOOR
Open plan living area with galley kitchen with an electric two ring hob, a microwave, under-counter fridge, toaster, kettle and DAB radio. There is a dining table and seating for four guests and a ‘real flame effect’ electric stove. Please note that there is no washing machine.

Bedroom (separated from the living area by a sliding door) with one double (4'6") bed.

Shower room with electric shower, heated towel rail, basin and WC.

FIRST FLOOR
A companionway ladder leads to a first floor mezzanine sleeping area for two children with two single beds which are 3’ x 6’3”and 3’ x 5’ (the latter has an optional extension when slid into the middle of the floor to make it full length).

An external set of steps leads from the mezzanine level for fire safety and to allow for external access.

Due to the access to the mezzanine level, it is not suitable for children under six years old. Please note the mezzanine level is not full height.

OUTSIDE
Large decked area with outside dining furniture and a fire pit.

The Beach Hut sits in a paddock with three shepherd’s huts: Foxglove, Teasel and Cow Parsley, each sleeping up to four guests. Please note, there is not designated enclosed space around each individual shepherd's hut.

No vehicle access is permitted in the paddock where the huts are located. Parking sits to the left of the farm entrance which is approximately 50 yards from the site entrance.

Dog Friendly
Two dogs are welcome (£15 fee per dog). Dogs must be clean and dry before access into the hut and must be kept off the beds. An outside tap is available. The inner paddock where the hut is located is enclosed, but dogs should be kept on a lead around the livestock. Please note, there are three other huts in the paddock, and there is not enclosed designated space around each individual shepherd's hut. Long dog leads are available onsite to keep your pets close-by your own shepherd's hut. The owner has chickens onsite which do occasionally fly over into the paddock. It is highly recommended that dogs are supervised for this reason.

Important Information
The paddock is shared with three shepherd’s huts: Foxglove, Teasel and Cow Parsley with a wide-open aspect across the adjoining field.

The ground floor area is suitable for babies and children. Please supervise children when using the ladder to the mezzanine level. The inner paddock where the hut is located is fully enclosed, however the adjoining field has a pond and younger children will require supervision around this area.

Water is from a private supply borehole and is suitable for drinking.

For safety reasons, we do not permit electric vehicle or hybrid car charging at this property.
