Luxury stays Northumberland have a way of making you forget 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. If you’ve been searching for somewhere genuinely special to escape to, somewhere that feels a world away from the everyday without actually being far from home, you may have just found it.
In Green Fields is home to two intimate retreats: The Fox’s Den, a charming shepherd’s hut, and The Hare’s Form, a private self-contained cabin. Each accommodation is designed for a maximum of two guests, making them ideal for romantic getaways, solo retreats, or simply a deeply restorative break for two people who need to breathe again. These are not cookie-cutter holiday lets. They are thoughtfully designed spaces where every detail has been considered with care.
A Retreat Designed Around You
From the moment you arrive, In Green Fields invites you to slow down and settle in. Both lodges come equipped with a fully fitted kitchen, so you have everything you need to cook, graze, and linger over long meals without ever needing to rush. There are dressing gowns provided for that essential loungewear experience — because a proper escape means spending at least one morning wrapped up in something soft with nowhere to be.
Step outside and the setting really comes into its own. Each lodge has its own private outdoor hot tub, giving you the luxury of soaking beneath open skies in complete seclusion. Northumberland is celebrated for some of the darkest, most star-filled skies in England, and from your hot tub on a clear night, that reputation becomes very easy to understand. There is something quietly magical about looking up at a sky full of stars while warm water surrounds you and the countryside stretches quietly in every direction.
For evenings that call for something a little more social — even when it is just the two of you — the outdoor projector transforms the open air into your own private cinema. Pair that with the Solo Stove fire pit crackling nearby and the Plancha gas grill ready for outdoor cooking, and you have all the ingredients for a truly memorable stay. Whether you choose films under the stars or long conversations over the fire, evenings here have a natural rhythm that city life rarely allows.
The Hare’s Form cabin also has a wonderful bonus for those travelling with a four-legged companion — it is dog friendly, meaning your beloved pet does not have to miss out on the adventure. Northumberland’s wide open countryside is a dream for dogs and their owners alike, and knowing your dog is welcome makes the whole experience feel even more relaxed.
Countryside Views and Quiet Seclusion
What sets In Green Fields apart from so many other getaways is the sense of genuine seclusion. Surrounded by peaceful Northumberland countryside, the views from both lodges are the kind that make you stop mid-sentence and simply look. Rolling green fields, open skies, birdsong — this is the antidote to screen fatigue and overscheduled lives.
Despite feeling wonderfully removed from the bustle, the location near Newcastle and Ponteland means you are never too far from civilisation when you want it. A country drive to explore local villages, a walk across open farmland, or simply doing absolutely nothing — all are equally valid choices here.
The Fox’s Den and The Hare’s Form are small in scale but generous in spirit. They offer exactly what so many of us are quietly searching for: a place to arrive, exhale, and remember what it feels like to be present. Whether you visit in the golden warmth of summer or wrap up in the crisp quiet of winter, In Green Fields is the kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.
If a Northumberland lodge stay is on your wish list, it really does not get more special than this.
