Located in the picturesque Berwick upon Tweed within the Scottish Borders, Foxglove is a charming shepherd's hut that offers a unique glamping experience for up to four guests. This well-appointed accommodation features a king-size bed and full-size single bunk beds that cleverly convert into bench seating during the day, maximizing space for comfort and utility. Guests can enjoy the convenience of a small galley kitchen equipped with modern appliances, including an electric hob, microwave combination oven, and under-counter fridge, as well as an extendable dining table that accommodates four. The hut also includes a wet room with essential amenities, ensuring a cozy stay regardless of the season.
The hut's design emphasizes accessibility, with a large raised deck featuring ramp access for mobility-impaired guests. For added warmth during cooler months, Foxglove is super-insulated and fitted with electric tubular heating. Additionally, guests have the option to hire Colin, a delightful retro caravan, for an extra charge, providing a fun space for children to enjoy their own mini adventure while also serving as extra sleeping accommodation if needed. The site is pet-friendly, allowing two dogs for a nominal fee, and offers facilities for horses with prior notice, including grazing and stabling options.
Foxglove is nestled in a paddock alongside two other huts, Teasel and Cow Parsley, making it ideal for larger groups wishing to holiday together. The outdoor area includes a picnic table, garden furniture, and a fire pit available upon request, fostering a relaxed atmosphere for enjoying the surrounding nature. While the inner paddock is fully enclosed, parents should supervise younger children, especially near the adjoining field with a pond. Guests can also take advantage of the provided amenities, including bed linen, towels, and toiletries, ensuring a comfortable stay.
Situated in a rural area, Foxglove offers easy access to local attractions, such as the Maltings Theatre and Cinema, Berwick-upon-Tweed Barracks, and various outdoor activities like fishing, swimming, cycling, and horse riding.
