About Morndyke Shepherds' Huts
Providing a top of the range glamping experience, where unadulterated luxury is considered normal, the huts at Morndyke are stunning. The non smoking site prides itself on being wildlife friendly, with bird and bat boxes dotted around the well established fishing lake. A pretty wild flower garden sits alongside the apple trees and bespoke bird feeding station, while each hut has its own mini herb garden and strawberry planter for guests to enjoy. The site is also home to the second largest parrot sanctuary in the UK, experiences can be booked with the site directly. Inside, the huts are fully equipped with a luxurious double bed and single bunk above, as well as a log burning stove, mini kitchen and comfy, sheepskin-lined chair. A host of extra luxury items provide the finishing touches, including Bronte by Moon blankets and cushions, Emma Bridgewater mugs, and Duck Island bathroom products. No need to share with others, here you have your own ensuite shower room and toilet. The mini kitchen is kitted out with all the cutlery, crockery, utensils and cooking gear you could possibly need. All linen and towels are provided. Even your dog is catered for - after all, it's their holiday too. The huts are ideal for couples wanting to enjoy a quiet and romantic break away, but the single bunk means that friends can enjoy time away together too. Either way, it's a place to relax and enjoy some downtime, with a selection of books, films and games for any rainy days. Outside you'll find your own private patio with barbecue, fire pit and table, where you can enjoy views stretching for miles over the farmland to the Hambleton Hills. Buzzards soar above you and the occasional roe deer can be seen shyly grazing while you sip on a glass of wine, watch the sun set and barbecue your dinner. Morndyke is a child-free site, but dogs (or other pets within reason!) are more than welcome.
