PoshHuts are perfect for star-gazing in the Northumbrian Dark Sky Park.
Nestled in the North Tyne Valley, you can feast your eyes on a big vast sky full of stars in a sheltered, tranquil country setting.
Overlooking meadows and woods, you’ll fall asleep to the sound of the babbling brook; away from roads and noise, you’ll enjoy peace and quiet surrounded by Falstone Farm’s 32-acre country estate.
Our guests are amazed by the views of the stars, and some say the best views they’ve ever had anywhere is from here. PoshHuts enjoy a comfortable king-size bed, small kitchen with oven, hob and fridge and a shower room with a fantastic power shower.
You can eat at your little dining table or al fresco in your private garden with patio furniture. Two local village pubs and a tearoom provide great food.
Stay & gaze - this location benefits from dark skies, relatively low levels of light pollution, is astronomy friendly and suitable for stargazing breaks.
