A Northumberland gastropub has opened four new shepherd's huts in time for Christmas.
The Apple Inn, in Lucker, is throwing its hat into the glamping ring by opening a selection of shepherds' huts which sleep two guests, named Badger's Sett, Otter's Couch, Squirrel's Drey and Fox's Den. It adds to the existing accommodation of two rooms above the pub.
The huts' interiors have been designed to create an "oasis of calm" and enjoy the surrounding attractions in what is described as a "beautiful" rural location. While the quiet village of Lucker itself isn't often mentioned as a stop on Northumberland itineraries, Bamburgh Castle and beach; Budle Bay; and Seahouses are all within 15 minutes by car.
