Experience Northumberland National Park

Our Story

Hesleyside Hall has been the ancestral home of the Border Reiver Charlton family for over 750 years and today is home to Anna and William Charlton and their 3 children. Part of the magnificent 4,000 acre Hesleyside Estate, the Hall is steeped in history and sits in Capability Brown designed parkland as well as being part of the Northumberland National Park and sitting under the world renowned Dark Skies Reserve, famous for having the best view of the milky way in England.

Anna and William feel incredibly lucky to live in such a magnificent natural paradise, surrounded by ancient woodland, the North Tyne river and an abundance of wildlife and are passionate about sharing the beauty of their surroundings with others. A chance holiday to Argentina saw Anna and William staying and working on a cattle ranch in Patagonia where they fell in love with a more simplistic way of life and their temporary home, an adorable little shepherds hut on wheels.

Luxury Glamping

From that moment, they were determined to bring the shepherds hut way of life to Hesleyside. Launched in 2013, Hesleyside Huts now has 3 shepherds huts, 2 cabins, a treehouse and a tower hidden away around the Hesleyside Estate, each individually designed by Anna with painstaking attention to detail and dedicated to offering a luxury glamping experience in a small but perfectly formed space.
