Surrounded by big skies and incredible views, Low Tipalt Farm provides a luxury base for your Northumbrian adventure. Disconnect from daily life in peaceful Northumberland countryside.
Built with rustic indulgence in mind, our bespoke shepherds hut ‘Wagtail’ welcomes you to a stylish, spacious haven. The first hut opens to a kitchen, dining table, raised double bed with storage space beneath and a unique, incredible open bathroom. This beautiful, warm space benefits from wonderful upland views, sleeping two adults comfortably, with everything you need and more provided.
Set in the dark skies of Northumberland National Park, Wagtail ensures you can truly relax in luxury. Run a indulgent bubble bath in the copper free standing bath, pour a glass of wine and you’re all set to commence gazing at the incredible spread of stars on show in the glass panels above. If you’re lucky and the sky is clear you might also witness the soft haze of the Milky Way or spot the odd shooting star.
There’s something special for everyone, wether outstanding countryside and activity or the slower pace in tranquility is what you are looking for. Optional extras include delivery of local meats and homemade meals from quality Northumbrian chefs, delicious wines & beers to your door from local breweries or beauty treatments to truly escape from it all.
Sustainability, New habitats & Geological Interest
Home to Wagtail Shepherd’s Hut, Low Tipalt Farm in Northumberland offers incredible views, sustainable farming and endless history. Low Tipalt is actively creating new habitats for wildlife, flora and forna by planting hedges, restoring grassland and creating wild flower meadows. Tipalt Burn runs through the farm featuring a SSSI designated. Because of the important geological interest, with amazing examples of rock formation dating back millions of years to the Aquatic age, fossils can be found of crinoid’s and sea shells.
Surrounded by footpaths and bridleways, big skies and wonderful views, the area has plenty to offer those seeking dramatic ridges and panoramic views.
