Luxury stays Northumberland have a way of resetting something deep inside you — the kind of reset that a weekend scrolling from the sofa simply cannot deliver. There is something about wide skies, open countryside, and genuine stillness that reminds you what it actually feels like to exhale. If you have been searching for that feeling without having to board a plane or spend a small fortune, then In Green Fields, a pair of boutique lodges tucked away in the Northumberland countryside near Newcastle and Ponteland, might be exactly what you have been looking for.
In Green Fields offers two beautifully considered escapes: The Fox’s Den, a charming shepherd’s hut, and The Hare’s Form, a private self-contained cabin. Both are designed for a maximum of two guests, making them ideal for couples retreats, solo adventures, or simply a moment of deliberate togetherness away from the noise of everyday life. These are not large resort-style complexes. They are intimate, personal, and thoughtfully put together — the kind of places that feel like they were made specifically for you.
Settle In and Slow Down
From the moment you arrive, the intention is clear: this is your time. Each lodge comes with its own private outdoor hot tub, so you can ease into the evening with a glass of something cold and a view of the Northumberland countryside stretching out around you. There are no shared facilities, no communal pools, and no timetables to stick to. Just you, the fields, and the kind of quiet that you forget exists when you live close to a city.
Inside, you will find a fully equipped kitchen, so whether you are planning an indulgent cook-up or keeping things relaxed with simple suppers, everything you need is already there. Soft dressing gowns are provided for those slow mornings when getting dressed feels entirely optional. The Hare’s Form cabin is also dog friendly, which means your four-legged companion does not have to miss out on the countryside adventure either.
When the evening draws in, the real magic begins. The Solo Stove fire pit is perfect for gathering around as the temperature drops, and the Plancha gas grill gives you everything you need to cook outdoors under the open sky. Then there is the outdoor projector — because sometimes a film night hits differently when your screen is outside, the stars are overhead, and the only sound is the occasional rustle of the fields around you.
Northumberland Nights Like You Have Never Seen Before
One of the most extraordinary things about staying at In Green Fields is what happens when darkness falls. Northumberland is celebrated across the UK for its exceptional dark skies, and from the secluded setting of these lodges, that reputation becomes something you actually feel rather than simply read about. Away from the light pollution of towns and cities, the night sky opens up in a way that is genuinely breathtaking. Whether you are stargazing from the hot tub or simply standing quietly by the fire pit, looking up, it is the kind of moment that stays with you long after you have driven home.
This is what makes In Green Fields stand apart from a standard holiday let. It is not just the practical comforts — although those are thoughtfully covered — it is the atmosphere, the seclusion, and the sense that time here moves a little differently. The countryside views, the crisp air, the warmth of the hot tub against a cool Northumberland evening — it all adds up to something that feels genuinely restorative.
Whether you are staying in The Fox’s Den or The Hare’s Form, you are choosing to step away from busy and step into something slower, warmer, and far more memorable. Northumberland has always been a county worth exploring, and In Green Fields gives you the most beautiful possible base from which to do exactly that.
