Stargazing Lodge Stays Northumberland Under Dark Skies

Built in kitchen for your Northumberland staycation

Luxury stays Northumberland have a way of making you forget the rest of the world exists — and nowhere does that better than In Green Fields, a pair of beautifully considered boutique lodges tucked away in the Northumberland countryside near Newcastle and Ponteland.

Whether you are looking to reset after a hectic few months, celebrate something special with your favourite person, or simply swap your sofa for something far more memorable, In Green Fields offers exactly the kind of escape that feels both indulgent and deeply restorative. With two unique lodges to choose from, every detail has been thoughtfully arranged so that you can arrive, exhale, and simply be.

Two Unique Lodges, One Unforgettable Setting

The first of the two lodges is The Fox’s Den, a charming shepherd’s hut that wraps you in warmth and character from the moment you step inside. Designed for up to two guests, it is the kind of place where time slows right down. Step outside and you will find your own private outdoor hot tub, perfect for soaking under open skies while the Northumberland countryside stretches out quietly around you.

The second lodge, The Hare’s Form, is a private, self-contained cabin that offers the same sense of seclusion and comfort. This one is also dog friendly, meaning your four-legged companion does not have to miss out on the adventure. Like The Fox’s Den, The Hare’s Form accommodates a maximum of two guests and comes with its own private outdoor hot tub — because some luxuries should simply not be shared with anyone else.

Both lodges are fully equipped with everything you need for a seamless stay. The fully equipped kitchen means you can cook at your own pace without rushing off anywhere, and dressing gowns are provided so you can pad around in comfort from morning to night. The countryside views from both lodges are the kind that make you reach for your camera and then put it straight back down again, because some things are better experienced without a screen in the way.

Evenings That You Will Not Want to End

One of the real joys of staying at In Green Fields is discovering just how special the evenings become. As the sun dips behind the Northumberland hills, the outdoor space truly comes into its own. Fire up the Solo Stove fire pit and let the flames do what fires do best — draw people in, slow conversation down, and make everything feel a little more golden.

When hunger strikes, the Plancha gas grill is ready and waiting for you to create something delicious under the open sky. And if you fancy something a little different after dinner, the outdoor projector is a genuinely lovely touch — imagine watching a favourite film with the night sky above you and the warmth of the hot tub just a step away. It is the kind of evening that becomes a story you tell for years.

Northumberland is also renowned for its extraordinary dark skies, and being away from the city lights near Ponteland gives guests a genuine chance to witness a proper star-filled night. There is something quietly magical about lying back in a private hot tub and watching the Milky Way appear overhead — it is the sort of experience that no city break can come close to matching.

The secluded nature of both lodges means you are unlikely to be disturbed by the outside world unless you choose to invite it in. No crowds, no noise, just two people and a landscape that reminds you what peace actually feels like.

If you have been searching for a genuinely special escape within easy reach of Newcastle, In Green Fields deserves a place at the very top of your list. Whether you choose The Fox’s Den or The Hare’s Form, you will leave feeling like the world is a far more beautiful place than you remembered.
