Luxury stays Northumberland has to offer are becoming increasingly sought after, and it’s easy to understand why. Nestled between dramatic moorland, rolling countryside, and some of the darkest, most star-filled skies in England, Northumberland has long been one of the UK’s most underrated escapes. Whether you’re looking to press pause on a busy city life or simply crave a slower, more intentional kind of break, a boutique lodge stay in this corner of the north is hard to beat.
One name that’s quietly making waves among those in the know is In Green Fields — a beautifully considered retreat offering two exceptional stays just a short drive from Newcastle and Ponteland. Far enough from the city to feel like another world entirely, yet close enough to make the journey feel effortless, In Green Fields is the kind of place that gets under your skin in the best possible way.
Two Unique Spaces, One Stunning Setting
In Green Fields is home to two boutique stays, each with its own distinct character. The Fox’s Den is a lovingly styled shepherd’s hut — compact, cosy, and utterly charming. There’s something inherently romantic about a shepherd’s hut; the curved roof, the sense of snugness, the feeling that the outside world has been gently left behind. It’s designed for two guests, making it a perfect retreat for couples who want to truly switch off together.
Then there’s The Hare’s Form, a private, self-contained cabin that brings a slightly different energy — a little more space, the same stunning surroundings, and the added bonus of being dog friendly. If your four-legged companion is part of the family, The Hare’s Form means nobody has to be left at home. Both stays accommodate a maximum of two guests, keeping the atmosphere intimate and the experience genuinely personal.
What unites both spaces is the attention to detail. Fully equipped kitchens mean you can cook as much or as little as you like. Dressing gowns are provided, because comfort really does matter. And the countryside views? They’re the kind that make you put your phone down without even thinking about it.
The Little Extras That Make It Memorable
It’s often the thoughtful touches that elevate a good stay into an unforgettable one, and In Green Fields delivers those in abundance. Each lodge comes with its own private outdoor hot tub — and there’s really nothing quite like soaking under an open Northumberland sky, especially when those skies are as breathtakingly clear as they are out here. With minimal light pollution, the stars on a clear night are genuinely spectacular. It’s the kind of thing you don’t fully appreciate until you’re lying there in warm water, looking up, completely at peace.
For evenings that stretch out long and lazily, the outdoor projector is a wonderful addition — imagine an open-air film night with countryside as your backdrop. The Solo Stove fire pit brings warmth and atmosphere, perfect for gathering around as the evening cools, and the Plancha gas grill opens up everything from leisurely weekend brunches to proper al fresco dinners.
The overall experience is one of beautiful simplicity. No unnecessary noise, no crowds, no schedule. Just two guests, a secluded setting, and everything you need to genuinely unwind.
Northumberland is often called England’s best-kept secret, and stays like those at In Green Fields are a big part of why that reputation is so well earned. Whether you’re celebrating something special, reconnecting with someone you love, or simply giving yourself permission to rest, this is the kind of escape that reminds you what proper relaxation actually feels like.
If a boutique lodge stay in the Northumberland countryside has been on your mind, In Green Fields might just be exactly what you’ve been looking for.
