I was so lucky to spend a few days staying at The Hütte at Huts in the Hills, tucked away in the Northumberland countryside and surrounded by the most beautiful views. It was the perfect little escape: cosy, quiet, and completely peaceful.

Mornings started with golden sunrises over the Cheviots, soft light spilling across the hills. I’d sit outside with a coffee on the porch, wrapped up in the stillness, watching the world slowly wake up. The outdoor bath was a dream, soaking under the sky with nothing but birdsong for company, and later, stargazing with a glass of wine as the night settled in.

Evenings were spent cooking dinner on the BBQ, sitting by the fire pit, and watching the stars, the clearest, darkest skies I’ve ever seen. There’s something so special about being here. Everything slows down, your mind quietens, and you start to notice all the little things again.

It felt so good to pause, breathe, and just be still for a while. I left feeling completely recharged, calm, happy, and full of love for Northumberland all over again.
