Hedgefield House

The Tyne Valley spreads out below you here, all rolling green farmland and the distant glint of the river threading through Blaydon's old industrial heartland turned surprisingly rural.

This one suits couples after a cosy pod escape without going full wilderness, or anyone wanting a guest house base for exploring Hadrian's Wall country and the wider Northumberland reaches. The camping pods give you that outdoor sleep with a solid roof overhead, while the main house offers proper B&B comfort if the weather turns. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you've got a four-legged companion in tow.

It's a year-round spot, which makes it handy for winter weekends or early spring breaks when most campsites are still locked up. Campfires need checking on arrival—they'll let you know what's possible depending on conditions. The Jetty fishery sits less than a kilometre away if you fancy wetting a line during your stay. Expect a quiet, tucked-away feel rather than a bustling campsite vibe—this is more rural retreat than social hub.
