Set in a stunning landscape on the edge of the Nidderdale AONB and Yorkshire Dales National Park, the yurts are well spread out to ensure that your privacy is paramount and offer luxurious hot tubs.

About Yurtshire Fountains

Yurtshire Fountains is set in the stunning countryside of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural beauty and on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, only one mile from the world famous Fountains Abbey and Studley Park World Heritage site. With six stylish and comfortable yurts, this exclusive site sits in a beautiful meadow with fantastic views of the spectacular scenery beyond. The handcrafted yurts have steam bent ash beams and a unique round-top solid oak door. The chic interiors are both rustic and cosy, furnished with a double bed, double and single futon, making the yurts equally ideal for couples on romantic getaways as well as groups of friends and families. The site and yurts are 'off grid' which means guests can really escape the everyday rat race. Solar powered lighting, lanterns and candles are provided and together with the warm glow of the wood burning stove. Fire pits and a BBQ add something special, too. In the true nature of sustainable living each yurt is self contained with its own private hot tub, flushing toilet and hot gas shower as well as being fully equipped with everything that you should need during your stay.

Open from 12 April to 31 October
