Are you wanting to enjoy some time outdoors over the Christmas and New Year period but with the luxury of a cosy, warm setting by the sea?

Well, you’re in luck as a boutique coastal glamping spot in the North East has been named among some of the best winter glampsites in the UK.

From scenic window seats to wood-burning stoves and fire pits, it seems Trees at Tughall in Northumberland has it all when it comes to escaping the hustle and bustle of the festivities.

On the Trees at Tughall website, it says: “Four fields from Beadnell village and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Thirty minutes from the wilderness of the Cheviot hills.

“Each cabin has its own specific relationship to its surroundings, creating bucolic moments and unique connections to the outdoors.”

What did The Telegraph say about Trees at Tughall?

If you’re looking for a place to wind down towards the end of the year or to start 2024 feeling as relaxed as possible, then look no further.

Described as a “hygee haven” in Northumberland, Trees at Tughall offers a “sprinkle of Scandi-cool” in the Northumbrian countryside.

The Telegraph said: “There are three contemporary cabins here, each hidden from the others.

“Ash is hugged by ancient trees; Hawthorn sits by the burbling Tughall burn, overlooking the Cheviot Hills; Willow has its own private glade by the stream.

“All are supremely well-insulated, with warming log-burners and heaters hidden under the big window seats.

“Star-gaze from the covered deck, huddle round the fire pit or head to the cafes and coast at Beadnell Bay, only a 30-minute walk away.”

Trees at Tughall is also highly praised on Tripadvisor with a current 5/5 rating.

A recent visitor said: "This is the second time we have had the privilege at staying at ‘the Trees’. Last time, it was Summer and obviously, it was fabulous. But anyone put off staying in a (luxury) converted container in mid-Winter, needs to think again.

"Snug, relaxing and utterly peaceful. Can’t recommend it enough. If you are looking for Glamping on steroids, near some of the most beautiful beaches in Britain, you need look no further."
