The details

Tucked away in the wild beauty of Northumberland National Park, Rowan is a truly special escape where rustic charm meets thoughtful luxury. Set within 4,000 acres of breathtaking countryside, this handcrafted log cabin invites you to slow down, switch off and reconnect with nature – whether that’s soaking in your outdoor sunken bathtub beneath the stars or toasting marshmallows by the firepit as dusk settles in.

Step inside and you’ll find a warm, inviting space that blends cosy textures with practical comforts. The wood-burning stove crackles away in the corner, creating the perfect setting for relaxed evenings, while the fully equipped kitchen – complete with gas hob, oven and all the essentials – makes cooking a pleasure rather than a chore. There’s a charming dining space for slow breakfasts and lazy suppers, while thoughtful touches like teas, coffee and sweet treats add to the welcoming feel.

The sleeping setup is equally enchanting. Climb the iron staircase to the mezzanine level, where a dreamy king size bed awaits beneath the eaves. Here, soft Egyptian cotton sheets, gentle lighting and a stargazing dormer window create a peaceful sanctuary for restful nights. Downstairs, a separate bunk room with two single beds offers a cosy hideaway for children aged five and above, making Rowan a lovely option for small families.

The en-suite shower room features a flushing loo, sink and power shower, while fluffy towels and complimentary toiletries add a boutique touch. But it’s outside where Rowan really shines. The sunken outdoor bath is a standout feature – the perfect place to unwind with a book or a glass of something bubbly as you take in the surrounding landscape. With a private veranda, firepit and outdoor cooking setup, you can spend entire days immersed in fresh air and open skies.

Beyond your cabin, the Hesleyside Estate offers endless opportunities to explore. Wander through ancient woodland, spot wildlife among the trees or simply enjoy the stillness. As night falls, the Dark Sky Reserve reveals its magic – with a telescope provided, you can gaze up at a sky filled with countless stars. It’s a place where doing nothing feels like everything.
