Luxury stays Northumberland have a way of making you forget the world outside — and nowhere does this better than In Green Fields, a pair of boutique retreats tucked into the peaceful Northumberland countryside near Newcastle and Ponteland. Whether you’re craving a proper reset, a romantic escape, or simply a few nights under genuinely dark, star-filled skies, these two handcrafted hideaways offer something increasingly rare: true seclusion without sacrificing comfort.
In Green Fields is home to two distinct but equally special spaces — The Fox’s Den, a beautifully appointed shepherd’s hut, and The Hare’s Form, a private self-contained cabin. Both are designed with just two guests in mind, keeping things intimate, unhurried, and wonderfully personal. This isn’t a holiday park or a sprawling resort. It’s a place where the countryside does the talking, and you simply get to listen.
Two Lodges, One Unforgettable Setting
The Fox’s Den leans into its shepherd’s hut roots with real character and charm. It’s the kind of place that feels like it was made for slow mornings and long evenings, with countryside views stretching out around you and absolutely nowhere you need to be. Step outside and your private hot tub is waiting — steaming, starlit, and entirely yours.
The Hare’s Form is a private cabin that brings a little more space to the experience while keeping that same sense of peaceful enclosure. Importantly, if you’re travelling with a four-legged companion, The Hare’s Form is dog friendly — so your best friend doesn’t have to miss out on the adventure. Like The Fox’s Den, it comes with its own private outdoor hot tub, making evenings here feel genuinely indulgent.
Both lodges are fully self-contained and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The fully equipped kitchen means you’re free to cook at your own pace — a lazy brunch, a leisurely dinner, whatever the mood calls for. And when you want to take the cooking outside, the Plancha gas grill is ready to go. There’s also a Solo Stove fire pit for gathering around as the sun dips and the temperature drops, which in Northumberland can happen beautifully and quickly.
Thoughtful touches extend to the little things too — plush dressing gowns are provided so you can wander between the hot tub and your lodge in proper comfort, without having to think too hard about practicalities. It’s this kind of considered detail that separates a good stay from a truly memorable one.
Nights Under the Northumberland Sky
One of the most quietly spectacular things about staying at In Green Fields is what happens after dark. Northumberland is celebrated for having some of the darkest skies in England — a genuine luxury in a world where light pollution has become almost unavoidable. From both lodges, you can sink into your hot tub and look upward at a sky that most people simply never get to see from their back garden. It’s humbling, calming, and genuinely breathtaking.
If you’d rather watch something a little more earthbound, both lodges also feature an outdoor projector — perfect for an alfresco film night under the open sky. Wrapped in your dressing gown, fire pit glowing nearby, it’s the kind of evening that feels almost impossibly good.
The location near Newcastle and Ponteland means In Green Fields is easy to reach without being at all difficult to leave behind. Once you arrive, the surrounding countryside and the rhythm of the lodges tend to take over in the best possible way. You might find yourself wondering why you ever thought you needed to go anywhere else.
Whether you choose The Fox’s Den or The Hare’s Form, a stay at In Green Fields is a reminder that the best escapes don’t need to be complicated. Sometimes two people, a hot tub, a fire, and a sky full of stars is everything you could possibly need.
