Charming Lodge in Morpeth

Peace, quiet and a great swathe of outdoor space await for guests at Rowan Tree Paddock – there’s just the one cabin at this Northumberland site, so you’ll have the entire one-acre paddock all to yourselves. (Well, apart from friendly and inquisitive goats Herbie and Beau, who are always keen to meet new visitors…)

This is a particularly gorgeous cabin, in an unusual barrel shape with a bedside window that looks out over the paddock – meaning you can gaze out at the scenery while still tucked up in bed. It’s a cosy and comfy setup inside the cabin, with a double bed, 2 singles/seating area (multi purpose) and storage space beneath. Outside, a covered deck means you can sit out even when it’s a bit chilly, and it’s a short walk to the bathroom with shower facilities. There is a spacious outdoor kitchen with gas stove, sink and undercover seating. Please note there’s no fridge, as this is an off-grid location. Supplies can be picked up at the farm shop 10 minutes’ walk away, which also has a café serving up meals and snacks throughout the day. There’s also an Indian restaurant within walking distance, and a petrol station with a shop; Morpeth’s shops and supermarkets are 10 minutes’ drive away.

Being off grid, this is a fabulous spot for a digital detox, spending your time stargazing and listening to owls hoot rather than scrolling social media (although there is a battery-powered USB charging point if you need it…)
