Foxglove has been designed to support the needs of guests with mobility impairment.
Foxglove has one king-size bed (5’ x 6’ 3”) as well as full-size single bunk beds (3’ x 6’ 3”). This hut can accommodate up to four guests. The bunk beds convert to bench seating during the day – to give you as much space as possible to relax in.
There’s a galley kitchen with an electric two ring electric hob, microwave combination oven, a fridge under the counter, toaster, kettle and even a DAB radio. You can also use the extendable dining table which seats up to four guests.
A large, raised deck with easy ramp access is included, to support the needs of any guests who have mobility issues. Just past the kitchen in the hut is also a wet room with an electric shower, washbasin and WC.
The hut is super-insulated with electric tubular heating and an electric stove with a ‘real flame’ effect to really warm you up in those colder times of the year!
Guests can also hire Colin, a cute retro caravan at £25 per night (subject to availability) where the younger members of the family can have their own little mini-adventure – a fun den for day use but setup for sleeping capacity too!
For an extra special experience, you can hire Colin – our cutesy retro blue caravan – for just £20 per night (subject to availability). Colin gives the younger members of the family their own space to create their own holiday adventure, with sleeping capacity for night time too! If needed, Colin can also hold two full-size humans as well!
Up to two dogs are welcome at Cow Parsley and there are kennels on the farm if you need them. If you give us prior notice, your horses are also welcome to come along – we have grazing and stabling ready on-site for you at additional cost.

Exterior
Outside, there’s a wonderful little picnic table and comfy garden furniture to sit and enjoy views over the nearby countryside. A night time, our fire pit can be brought over on request to round off your day in style.
Parking
There’s no access for your vehicle anywhere inside the paddock where the huts are, but there is a car park just to the left-hand side when you first drive into the farm entrance.
Dedicated parking provision is available for guests with mobility impairment.
Children & Babies
While the paddock where the Shepherds’ Huts are is completely enclosed, the field next to it has a pond – so younger children will need supervising near this area.
For an extra special experience, you can hire Colin – our cutesy retro blue caravan – for just £20 per night (subject to availability).

South Berrington Shepherds’ Huts are just a few miles away from the Northumberland coast, and 12 miles from the Northumberland National Park. The nearby village of Lowick (3.5 miles away) has a village store where you can buy a range of items from fresh bread, cakes and scones, as well as delicious local produce.
The market town of Wooler and the charming Northumbrian village of Belford are 10 miles away and a good place to do any small-town shopping that you need. There’s a great range of restaurants and pubs too. For anything bigger, Berwick-upon-Tweed is a short 7.5-mile drive away up the coast – and has supermarkets and a wide array of shops.

What guests say about Foxglove
We’ve just returned from a 3 night stay at South Berrington Shepherd Huts in the ‘Foxglove’ and we were very impressed with the beautiful decor and layout. It was more spacious than we imagined it would be too. We had our own wet room inside, and the queen sized bed and Goose feather duvet was so comfortable we were reluctant to get up each morning! The hut was so well kitted out; Rachel, the owner, had thought of everything even down to a windup torch. On arrival we received a warm friendly welcome from Rachel, and a daily visit from her cute little Border Terrier! We found the location perfect for visiting Berwick, Bamburgh and Holy Island and would highly recommend a stay.
We hope to visit again for longer next year.
Thank you from Rich and Jill
Completely delightful, from start to finish. It’s more a luxury tiny house than a hut and felt like a very indulgent finale to St. Cuthbert’s Way. And Rachel couldn’t have been more accommodating.

Hi had a great holiday in Foxglove. Shepherd’s hut was lovely. Well equipped and owner was very helpful and friendly. No T. V. But that was absolutely fine. Very relaxing holiday and would definitely go back.
