About Clay Bank Huts
If you're searching for a getaway in the Yorkshire countryside, but don't want to forgo all of those essential home comforts, this peaceful adult only glamping site could be the ideal option. A little slice of luxury set amongst rolling hills, the site enjoys unspoilt moor views, perfect for sitting back and watching the world go by. There are three cosy camping pods each sleeping two guests, two have a double bed and the other has a bunkbed. The pods are well insulated and are equipped with USB charging ports and lighting. There are two shepherd's huts onsite, Roseberry and Rosemary, both sleeping up to two with a cosy double bed with bedding provided. Inside the open-plan huts, you will also have your own kitchenette which comes equipped with a fridge, freezer, cooker, kettle, toaster, sink, microwave and cooking utensils, so you'll have everything you need for that all-important full English! For those cooler months, you will also have a wood-burning stove, along with electric heating so you will stay nice and warm. A table and chairs are also provided, along with the whole shepherd's hut having electric so you can keep your devices charged up. You will also have your own ensuite which comes with a flushing loo, modern shower and a heated rail so your towels will be extra warm and fluffy. Outside both of the huts, there is also a small decking area which comes with a table and chairs, ideal for a spot of al fresco dining or enjoying a glass of wine as you watch the sunset. Up to two medium-sized dogs allowed to join you for your stay. Please note, BBQs are not allowed.
The shepherd's huts are open all year round. The camping pods are open from March to October.
Both huts have their own ensuite and kitchen facilities. The camping pods share a toilet, shower and pot washing station.
For picking up the essentials, Co-op Food in Great Ayton is a 15 minute drive away. If you're looking to go out for food or something to drink, The Dudley Arms is a 30 minute walk or five minute drive away.
