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. Please note, this site is pet free due to the resident alpacas.

Excellent stay! I arrived after the staff had finished and the instructions over the phone were good. The plot given to me and my son was brilliant, it had a table and umbrella for us to use and the space in the area was just right. Shower and toilet facilities are ideal, and more than what you need for a stay here! The added bonus was been able to wonder down and see the alpaca’s down in their area! My son loves this. The next morning we went for a walk and discovered there is a nice walk around the camp site.. with a secret library and some sculptures in the woods! Along with a swing which we had a go on! I will be returning it’s a great camp site well done

A charming campsite in a beautiful, peaceful location. Sophie and Simon have clearly spend a lot of time and effort into making this place a perfect summer campsite. I'd highly recommend booking on their alpaca walk too! Will definitely be staying again!
We wish we booked more nights

We stayed here for 1 night, it was amazing. Sophie and Simon have thought of everything from toothbrush and toothpaste, logs for the fire and hot tub, dressing gown and slippers and a few extra treats 😊 It was peaceful and easy to find, the log burner hot tub did take a while to heat up but this was expected. We only wished we had booked it for more than 1 night. It's warm, cosy and was so peaceful. In the morning, we took a walk to see the alpacas and got to meet Simon and his son, who were so lovely. I would recommend this beautiful break away to anyone who wants to switch off and relax 😌 I have recommended it to family and friends and we're already talking about booking it again in the summer months 🥰
