Luxury stays Northumberland have a way of reminding you what slow living actually feels like — and nowhere does that better than In Green Fields, a pair of beautifully considered boutique lodges tucked into the Northumberland countryside near Newcastle and Ponteland.
If you’ve been craving a proper escape without the hassle of airports, packed hotels, or sharing a hot tub with strangers, this is exactly the kind of place you’ve been searching for. In Green Fields offers two intimate retreats — The Fox’s Den and The Hare’s Form — each designed for just two guests, each offering their own private slice of Northumberland’s remarkable landscape.
Meet The Lodges: The Fox’s Den and The Hare’s Form
The Fox’s Den is a charming shepherd’s hut that feels like stepping into a countryside dream. Compact, cosy, and full of character, it’s the sort of place where you arrive with a to-do list and leave having forgotten it entirely. Then there’s The Hare’s Form, a private, self-contained cabin that brings a little more space to your rural getaway — and it’s dog friendly too, so your four-legged companion doesn’t have to miss out on the adventure.
Both lodges are designed exclusively for two guests, which means no crowds, no noise from neighbouring rooms, and absolutely no compromising on privacy. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion, reconnecting as a couple, or simply giving yourself permission to unplug, these lodges create the perfect conditions for it.
Each lodge comes with its own private outdoor hot tub — because what’s a Northumberland escape without soaking under an open sky? The night skies out here are genuinely spectacular, and there’s something wonderfully indulgent about watching stars appear overhead while the warm water works its magic on tired shoulders.
Inside, you’ll find a fully equipped kitchen, so you can cook at your own pace without any restaurant bookings or set mealtimes to worry about. Dressing gowns are provided, which sets the tone perfectly — this is a place built entirely around comfort and ease.
Evenings Worth Staying In For
One of the things that makes In Green Fields genuinely special is the thought that’s gone into the outdoor experience after dark. The Solo Stove fire pit is a real centrepiece — gather around it as the evening cools, enjoy the crackle and glow, and let the countryside settle quietly around you. It’s the kind of simple pleasure that reminds you how good life can feel when you slow down.
For those who love a night in that feels a little more special, the outdoor projector is a brilliant touch. Imagine watching a favourite film under the open sky, wrapped in your dressing gown with the fire burning nearby — it’s the sort of evening you’ll talk about for months.
When it comes to food, the Plancha gas grill gives you the opportunity to cook outdoors and make the most of the surrounding countryside views while you do it. Whether you’re grilling a simple supper or making something a little more ambitious, it adds another layer of enjoyment to your stay.
The countryside views from both lodges are the kind that make you stop mid-sentence. Rolling Northumberland landscape, open skies, and that particular quality of quiet that you simply cannot find in a city. Sitting with a morning coffee and looking out across the fields is, genuinely, one of the best ways to start a day.
In Green Fields sits close enough to Newcastle and Ponteland to be easily reachable, but once you arrive, it feels worlds away from everything. That balance — accessible but genuinely secluded — is rarer than it sounds.
If you’ve been putting off a proper break, let this be the nudge you needed. Two lodges, total privacy, hot tubs, fire pits, open skies, and the kind of quiet that actually restores you. Northumberland is waiting, and In Green Fields might just be the best way to meet it.
