Luxury stays Northumberland have a way of resetting something deep inside you — the kind of reset that a weekend city break simply cannot deliver. There is something about wide open skies, the smell of fresh country air, and the sound of almost nothing that reminds you how good it feels to simply stop. If you have been searching for a truly special escape in the North East of England, In Green Fields offers two beautifully considered boutique lodges that sit quietly in the Northumberland countryside, close to Newcastle and Ponteland, waiting for exactly that kind of moment.
The two lodges — The Fox’s Den, a characterful shepherd’s hut, and The Hare’s Form, a private self-contained cabin — are designed for couples or solo travellers seeking genuine seclusion. With a maximum of two guests per lodge, these are not places for crowds or noise. They are places for unhurried mornings, long evenings, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the world feels far away.
Two Lodges, One Exceptional Experience
The Fox’s Den brings the romance of a traditional shepherd’s hut into something entirely boutique. Compact, cosy, and full of charm, it is the sort of place that makes you want to pull on a dressing gown — which, happily, is provided — and do very little with enormous satisfaction. The Hare’s Form, meanwhile, offers a private cabin experience with the added bonus of being dog friendly, meaning your four-legged companion does not have to miss out on the countryside adventure.
Both lodges come with a fully equipped kitchen, so whether you are planning a candlelit dinner in or a lazy brunch stretching into the afternoon, you have everything you need to cook and eat well. There is no pressure to leave, no restaurant booking to chase, and no schedule to keep. That freedom is, in itself, a luxury worth travelling for.
Each lodge has its own private outdoor hot tub, which may well become the centrepiece of your stay. Imagine sinking into warm water as the Northumberland night sky opens up above you — this is genuine dark sky territory, far enough from city light pollution that the stars feel close enough to reach. It is the kind of experience that photographs simply cannot capture properly, and one that stays with you long after you have driven home.
For evenings that call for something a little more sociable — or simply more cinematic — there is an outdoor projector available, turning a clear night into your own private outdoor cinema. Pair that with the warmth of a Solo Stove fire pit crackling beside you and you have an evening that feels quietly extraordinary. When hunger strikes, the Plancha gas grill is ready for whatever you have in mind, whether that is a proper barbecue spread or something simpler cooked under the stars.
Why Northumberland Makes the Perfect Backdrop
Northumberland is one of England’s most underrated landscapes. Rolling countryside, vast skies, and a sense of space that feels increasingly rare — it is a county that rewards those who seek it out. In Green Fields sits within this landscape beautifully, offering countryside views that shift with the light throughout the day. From the soft golds of early morning to the deep purples of dusk, the scenery around these lodges does a great deal of the work when it comes to helping guests unwind.
The location near Newcastle and Ponteland means that getting here is genuinely straightforward, yet once you arrive, you feel delightfully removed from the everyday. It is close enough to reach with ease, far enough to feel like a proper escape.
Whether you are planning a romantic retreat, a solo adventure, or a getaway with your dog in tow, In Green Fields offers something rare — a stay that is carefully thought through, genuinely secluded, and quietly unforgettable. Sometimes the best luxury is simply being somewhere that asks nothing of you at all.
