Koto at Trees at Tughall

Trees at Tughall is a collection of luxury woodland cabins designed by Koto on Northumberland's coast, inspired by the beach shacks and fishermen's sheds of the shoreline. Generous glazing frames forest and meadow views, with Beadnell Beach a short walk away. A calm, elemental base for slow days outdoors.

Located on the Northumberland coast, Trees at Tughall is a boutique rural retreat offering a fully rental accommodation model within a peaceful, nature-led setting.

Koto partnered with the site to design and deliver a small collection of cabins that provide a high-quality, design-led alternative to traditional holiday accommodation.

In Phase 1, Koto delivered 3 cabins at Trees at Tughall, all operating as part of a fully managed rental offering.

Set within a quiet, natural landscape, the cabins are designed to offer a sense of escape and simplicity. Clean architectural forms are paired with warm, tactile interiors to create spaces that feel calm, comfortable, and connected to their surroundings.

Careful positioning and orientation maximise privacy while framing views of the surrounding countryside, supporting a guest experience centred around rest, nature, and slow living.
