True countryside living with a touch of comfort. Wind your way into the hills along narrow lanes and eventually come to The Hideaway. Sat on the original stone floor of a former cow byre, our 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 space
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 in front of the wonderful views and a BBQ provides the setting for some memorable evenings. We also provide camping chairs - you’ll find them under the bed.

The famous North Pennine Way walking route is just over the hill and Alston, the highest market town in England is a couple of minutes drive or a brief cycle ride with artisan shops and cafes. There’s also a cafe within 5 mins walking distance
