About the site
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.
