About the site
This peaceful glamping site is set in over 12 acres, providing a relaxing countryside retreat whilst still within a 20 minute drive of the attractions of York. Home to a friendly herd of alpacas, guests can also be treated to walking and date night alpaca experiences. If you're after an off-grid family break away, there are five non electric grass pitches to choose from which are suitable for tents only. These are mown into the long grass, and with no WiFi available onsite, guests can truly get back to nature! Stay in one of the two adult only luxury shepherd's huts. Sleeping up to two, each of the cabins comes fully furnished with a king size bed, luxury bedding and a wood burner for keeping you toasty, even in the cooler months. The shepherd's huts are also powered by solar electricity! Each includes a fully equipped kitchenette with a cooker, fridge, kettle and more, perfect for cooking up a delicious breakfast or dinner. You will also have your own modern ensuite with a flushing toilet, rainfall shower, hand basins, towels, robes and slippers. Outside there is a private garden area comprised of an outdoor dining area, fairy lights, a fire pit, a swing seat and a wood-fired hot tub! Please note, the shepherd's huts are adults only but families are welcome on the grass pitches. Campers can also enjoy a fire pit or BBQ, with some to hire from the site, plus logs and charcoal to purchase too. Campfires are also allowed.
