Relax at Hesleyside
Relaxing Break in Northumberland
Reconnect with Nature
Conquering the art of doing nothing, well, is no mean feat, but Hesleyside is the perfect place to escape from the everyday, a little slice of heaven set in 4,000 acres of outstanding natural beauty in the heart of Northumberland National Park.
We encourage you to come glamping Northumberland style and re-discover true relaxation, enjoying your idyllic surroundings and doing as much or as little as you like. Take the chance to stop, breath and re-connect with yourself and each other; read a book, sleep in the comfort of your luxury bed, wallow in a deep bath, sit and contemplate your thoughts as nature happens around you. It’s entirely up to you but we’ve highlighted a few of our favourite ways of spending time on the Hesleyside Estate below…
Woodland Walks & Wildlife
Step outside, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy hundreds of acres of magical woodland walks available exclusively to our guests. Marvel at the giant trees, oddly shaped mushrooms and wonderful wildlife, immersing yourself in the peace and tranquillity of your idyllic surroundings, created over hundreds of years.
Stargazing
The entire Hesleyside Estate sits under Northumberland’s ‘Dark Sky Reserve’ and each night explodes into life with millions of stars. For a close up look, grab the star-gazing kit in your Cabin or Shepherds Hut and marvel at the enormity of the universe, taking advantage of this rare opportunity to witness the night sky without light pollution.
Campfire
Nothing beats a camp fire as a means of relaxation. All of our Shepherds Huts and Cabins have their own private campfire. Snuggle under blankets and toast marshmallows (provided of course!) under star-filled skies, have a fry-up at sun-rise and enjoy a good book at sun-set. We provide the initial supply of wood and all the cooking equipment you’ll need.
It’s very unique and you feel independent and out there in the wild. I wish the checkout wasn’t so early at 10am. 12pm would have been great so it doesn’t feel like rushed in the morning and you get to sleep with less stress. 2 x sacks of wood lasted us the two nights and even managed to do a lil bbq with it."
We most definitely will stay again."
You have everything you need inside to survive. The bathroom has a modern feel without losing the charm of the hut. The bed was very comfortable. The view from the verandah is beautiful and the amount of wildlife around is amazing. It really feels you’re in the wild without sacrificing the comforts of home. Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better base at which to spend our long weekend. Will be back!!!

Thoughtful touches throughout and the finish makes it worth every penny.
