About Little North Field
Set on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, near picturesque Ripley, this luxurious glamping retreat offers three charming canvas lodges for up to five guests. Foxes Den, Owls Hollow and Hedgehog Hideaway....which one will you choose? Each en suite canvas lodge is fully-furnished with two separate bedrooms, including a king-size bed and a second bedroom hosting a double bed with a single bunk for the whole family. There's also a cosy log burner to keep you warm at night and outdoor dining and BBQ for those late summer evenings. Don't forget to bring the marshmallows to toast on your private firepit complete with chunky log stools to warm by the campfire. The Foxes Den is a cosy fox themed tent located in the top corner of the field. It is complete with excellent views of the idyllic site, fluffy cushions, throws, and deep pile rugs. Dog-friendly and cosy, it's perfect for curling up with a good book. In the middle of the field, you'll find the Owls Hollow, complete with a rustic interior and chunky furniture. It's the ideal spot for that summer sun in the country. Come and hibernate in the bottom of the field at the Hedgehog Hideaway. With a fantastic view of the pond and summerhouse, this lodge has an earthy style, bringing you closer to the outdoors. Little North Field is tucked away in the village of Bishop Thornton and you'll find much to do nearby. Set in the golden triangle between Knaresborough, Pateley Bridge and Harrogate. Other unique attractions include the magnificent Fountains Abbey and spectacular Brimham Rocks. The Yorkshire Dales national park is also a short scenic drive through beautiful countryside to magical places including Appletreewick and Burnsall. As well as free welcome hampers on arrival, there are locally sourced food hampers available to buy too. Only one safari tent is dog-friendly - The Foxes Den.

In 10 years of glamping in North Yorkshire, I can honestly say this was the best we have had. So much thought has gone into the small things that make glamping more comfortable, the tents are fabulous, the site is so pretty, it's quiet and secure, it's a great location for days out. Catherine and Tim were so lovely and welcoming - we highly recommend this site! Thank you for having us and for taking care of us so well.
One of the nicest places I've ever stayed, perfect in every way

I'm so impressed with little Northfield glamping, we have had the best 5 days ever. The safari tent and the camp itself were absolutely immaculate, there was not one single fault. There were lovely little touches to see in every nook and cranny it is so well thought out. You get a lovely welcome pack with tea, coffee, sugar, marshmallows and even a s'mores recipe which is so cute. I loved having a campfire every single night, everything you need is there to do so. All you really need to bring is yourselves and your clothes and shower gel. Towels are provided etc. I'm already looking forward to going again, the owners are lovely and helpful too and the whole place is so serene. Thanks for having us 😊 p.s -There is even a summer house filled with games and books which I thought was awesome and outside toys for children too.
Comfortable, clean, beautiful location & fantastic hosts!

Our family of five spent two nights at Little North Field this summer. It was such a welcome sight to see our friendly hosts and gorgeous home for the next two nights, after a very long day of travelling. Catherine and Tim have thought of everything needed to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Our kids loved the freedom of being able to explore and run around - much better than being cooped up in a hotel! It got a bit cold at night, but this wasn't an issue as there were blankets provided, hot water bottles and plenty of firewood for the fire. I am so pleased we found Little North Field, I have recommended it to friends and family and we would love to come back ourselves too.
