I love quirky accommodation, so I was excited to be invited to review the new shepherds huts at The Apple Inn in Lucker, Northumberland. Any excuse for a trip to the North East’s countryside!

The shepherds huts and The Apple Inn itself are dog-friendly, meaning our cockapoo Archie could come along for the adventure.

Guests staying in the shepherds huts check in at The Apple Inn’s reception. The huts are directly across the road from the inn. Each hut has its own fenced-in garden, so four-legged friends can run around without you having to worry about them.

We stayed in the Red Squirrel’s Drey hut. They’re all named after various woodland creatures’ dwellings – there was a Badger’s set opposite us.

The hut is gorgeous! In all honesty, I was expecting it to be a bit claustrophobic, but I needn’t have worried. The kingsize bed has space on either side and a large mirror faces the window, so it felt very bright and airy.

Décor-wise, it’s the chicest shepherd’s hut I ever did see! A black wicker headboard, terracotta throw cushions and statement wallpaper give the space a bohemian vibe, while the honeycomb-patterned wooden sideboard and plush velvet couch at the foot of the bed keep it contemporary.

As much as I love the sun, I do feel a bit envious of anyone who stays at the huts in the colder weather. There’s a log burner with plenty of wood to keep you toasty!

The ‘hut’ aspect had made me feel a little apprehensive about the bathroom situation, but the shower was actually bigger than the one we have at home. We certainly didn’t have to rough it!
