About Meadowbeck Shepherd's Huts
A relaxing escape on the Yorkshire Coast. Located within the glorious North York Moors National Park, the area is popular with keen walkers, wildlife enthusiasts, cyclists and those seeking a peaceful escape by the sea. Within a ten minute drive of the beach and a short stroll to the nearest bus stop taking you to Scarborough and Whitby, via Robin Hoods Bay. The site is set on a ten acre smallholding, so you'll be living here with the resident animals including donkeys, goats, chickens/cockerel, ducks, dogs and Ryland sheep! All of the huts are perfect for a romantic break, each sleeping up to two in a double bed - they are also popular with solo travellers. They come fully furnished with a wood burning stove to keep you cosy, a basket of firewood and double-aspect windows. The pet free shepherd's huts sit side by side in the meadow and are both off-grid. They include a wood burning stove, padded seating bench, along with a kitchen area, sink, pots and pans. Each hut has a campfire area and use of a hammock. There is an eco loo onsite, shared between the two huts. Private standard toilets are a five minute walk away from the huts and located in the barn known as 'The Scratching Shed', which also includes a shower with hot and cold water, kettle, sink, microwave, and fridge - these facilities are shared with just the other off-grid hut. The Barn also includes a guest games room area with TV and sofas. Shepherd's Watch is pet friendly and fully equipped with electricity. It has an enclosed garden and its own private toilet/wet room attached to the rear. This hut has a TV, two ring stove, mini fridge and toaster. This hut is closer to the cottages and parking is directly outside. It is elevated with a decked area, where you can sit out and enjoy the views. Everyone will have access to the communal facilities too. 'The Scratching Shed' offers WiFi, a pool table, bar football, a dart board, a gaming table, board games, a TV and cosy sofas. There is also a washer/dryer, iron and ironing board. The site also offers EV charging for an extra fee. All of the huts enjoy glorious countryside views, perfect for unwinding with your morning brew.
