Luxury stays Northumberland have a way of making you forget the world exists — and if you’ve been searching for somewhere genuinely special to escape to, In Green Fields might just be the answer you didn’t know you were looking for. Tucked away in the countryside near Newcastle and Ponteland, this boutique retreat offers two beautifully considered lodges that feel a world apart from everyday life, even though you’re never too far from civilisation.
In Green Fields is home to two intimate and distinctive spaces: The Fox’s Den, a charming shepherd’s hut, and The Hare’s Form, a private self-contained cabin. Both are designed with just two guests in mind, making them ideal for couples looking to truly disconnect, slow down, and savour something a little extraordinary together.
Two Unique Lodges, One Unforgettable Setting
The Fox’s Den leans into the romance of traditional countryside living. As a shepherd’s hut, it carries an inherent charm — compact, cosy, and utterly delightful. It’s the kind of place where you arrive and immediately feel your shoulders drop. Surrounded by open countryside views and blessed with some of the most spectacular night skies Northumberland has to offer, The Fox’s Den is a retreat in the truest sense of the word.
The Hare’s Form offers a slightly different experience as a private, fully contained cabin. What sets it apart is that it’s also dog friendly, meaning your four-legged companion doesn’t have to miss out on the adventure. Both lodges share the same commitment to thoughtful, quality touches — private outdoor hot tubs, cosy dressing gowns provided on arrival, and a fully equipped kitchen so you can cook whenever the mood takes you.
Speaking of cooking, In Green Fields has made outdoor dining a real highlight of a stay here. The Plancha gas grill is perfect for those evenings when you want to cook something delicious under an open sky, and the Solo Stove fire pit adds warmth and atmosphere once the sun goes down. There’s something deeply satisfying about gathering around a fire in the fresh Northumberland air, a glass of something cold in hand, with nothing but fields and stars stretching out around you.
The Little Details That Make the Difference
What elevates In Green Fields beyond a simple rural getaway is the genuine care that’s gone into every detail. The outdoor projector, for instance, is a touch of magic — imagine settling into the evening with a film playing outdoors, wrapped in your dressing gown after a long soak in your private hot tub. It’s the sort of experience that feels spontaneous and cinematic at the same time.
The seclusion here is real. With a maximum of two guests per lodge, you won’t be sharing your slice of Northumberland with a crowd. The countryside views are yours to enjoy in peace, whether you’re watching the morning mist roll across the fields with a coffee in hand, or gazing up at a sky full of stars that city life never quite lets you see properly.
And those night skies really are something special. Northumberland is already celebrated for its dark sky landscape, and the location of In Green Fields means you get to experience that in full — no light pollution, no noise, just the quiet wonder of the universe doing its thing above you.
Whether you’re planning a romantic anniversary escape, a long-overdue break from the routine, or simply a chance to breathe deeply and be still for a couple of days, In Green Fields delivers something that feels genuinely nourishing. The proximity to Newcastle and Ponteland means you’re never truly remote, but once you arrive, you’ll feel like you could be anywhere in the world — somewhere slow, beautiful, and entirely your own.
If Northumberland is calling, it’s worth listening. And if In Green Fields is the answer, you’re already in very good hands.
