Romantic glamping in Northumberland: Huts in the Hills is the cutest couple’s escape
- Advertisement Feature
If glamping in Northumberland has always been on your bucket list, Dunmore is a must — the most romantic shepherd’s hut Huts in the Hills has to offer.
There’s something so special about escaping to the countryside. Just you, your favourite person, fresh air, rolling hills… and maybe a fluffy sheep or two. If that sounds like your kind of getaway, look no further.
Set among the green and peaceful landscapes of Northumberland National Park and a stone’s throw from Alnwick, Dunmore is perfect if you’re looking for a rural romantic retreat.
Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, planning your mini-moon or just craving a break from your 9-to-5 routines, this is glamping in Northumberland with the cutest twist.
ROMANCE PAIRED WITH FRIENDLY FARM ANIMALS
Dunmore is nestled in a quiet paddock just a short walk from the farmhouse – but once you’re inside, it feels like you’re miles from anywhere.
You’ll be surrounded by pretty panoramic views and some very cute neighbours: Valais Blacknose sheep (the fluffiest sheep you’ll ever meet), ponies and the odd curious chicken.
If you’re an animal-loving couple, it’s pretty much paradise. What sets Dunmore apart from other shepherd’s huts in Northumberland is the up-close animal encounters. Imagine sipping your morning coffee while watching the sheep graze outside or having a glass of wine in the outdoor tub while the donkeys wander past.
COSY COMFORTS MADE FOR TWO
Dunmore may be cute and cosy, but it’s big on luxury. You’ll sleep in a king-size bed made up with Egyptian cotton sheets, and there’s an en-suite bathroom complete with a hot power shower and flushing toilet. Dunmore really does put the glam into glamping in Northumberland.
There’s a wood-burning stove to keep things toasty, a fridge and hob for cooking and clever touches like a sliding oak table hidden under the bed. It’s beautifully thought out, with fresh flowers, soft towels and a welcome hamper of bread, butter, tea and coffee to help you settle in.
HLN TOP TIP: If you don’t fancy cooking, you can order breakfast baskets and delicious meals, home-cooked by owner Nicola using local produce (we’ve heard great things), delivered right to your door.
BATHING UNDER THE STARS
But the real highlight for us is the outdoor bath. An antique French tub overlooks the fields and hills beyond. It feels like a regular bath, but the experience? Out of this world.
Pour yourself a drink, soak under the stars and listen to the sounds of nature. There’s even been a few sightings of the Northern Lights here – another thing to tick off your bucket list. This is glamping Northumberland style – relaxed, romantic and truly unforgettable.
THE PERFECT COUPLES HIDEAWAY
Dunmore is one of Huts in the Hills’ most affordable huts, which also makes it ideal for longer stays. Whether you’re planning a mini-moon, celebrating an anniversary or just need some proper downtime together, this spot is all about slowing down and enjoying life’s simple pleasures.
And the best part? Even though it feels wonderfully off-grid, Dunmore is easy to get to, making it a great option if you’re a first-time glampers or if you want to experience being right in the heart of nature without having to hike there with a heavy backpack.
Glamping in Northumberland has never looked – or felt – so good.
