About the site


Nestled right on the doorsteps of the Yorkshire Dales, the safari tents here (Grouse, Snipe and Woodcock) enjoy a truly breathtaking setting within a 400 acre family farm. Explore acres of peaceful countryside from your safari tent - each sleeping up to six. There are three pet friendly and spacious safari tents, each sleeping up to six people in a king size bed, twin bed and cabin bed. There is a private bathroom with a toilet, shower and sink, and all bed linen and towels are available to hire. In the main area there is plenty of space for hanging out, with a living room space, dining area and well equipped kitchenette waiting for your arrival. Outside, you'll have your own decking with a BBQ and fire pit and picnic bench seating, perfect for dining al fresco on those summer evenings. One well behaved pet allowed.

This place is fantastic! Chris gave us such a warm welcome and made sure we knew where everything was when we arrived. The facilities are ideal for our family, and having the space for our little one to explore safely was exactly what we were looking for. The setup strikes the perfect balance between camping and comfort - with proper bathroom and kitchen facilities making it feel like the best of both worlds. We'll definitely be coming back later this year - it's great value and the perfect spot for us.

We've just returned from two wonderful nights here to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday, and it truly couldn't have been more perfect. Chris was an exceptional host—thoughtful, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. The tent felt like a true home-from-home, beautifully equipped with everything we could possibly want. And the thoughtful welcome of delicious cakes from a local bakery was the perfect finishing touch. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay; wonderful host!

Definitely recommend! Our family and I had a fantastic two-night stay at Dale2swales during the Easter holidays. We were a group of six, including two adults, two teenagers, and two young children under eight, plus our furry friend. The spacious tent comfortably accommodated all of us, and we had an incredible time. From the moment we booked, Chris, our host, was in touch, eager to get to know us and suggest some enjoyable activities for our stay. He provided detailed information about the site and what to expect during our visit. On the day of our arrival, Chris called ahead to assure us that everything was set up and ready. His attentiveness was truly appreciated. The accommodation was ideal for a peaceful getaway in the countryside. The tent was spotlessly clean and well-equipped, with everything we needed and more. The comfortable beds and thick duvets, especially considering the cooler weather, were a big hit. Chris also made sure to provide plenty of extra blankets and hot water bottles. Our youngest children were particularly delighted with the 'secret' den, which they spent hours exploring and playing in. The tent is situated on a beautiful field, offering ample space for our dog to run around. The kids loved the open space and engaged in games of football and rounders. It's also the perfect location for exploring the nearby countryside. The facilities were impressive. We've stayed at other glamping sites, but none have had a fully fitted bathroom, which was a real bonus for us. There was plenty of space to prepare meals, and cozy areas by the log burner provided a warm spot to sit and play games. The tent is solar-powered, so there are no plug sockets. However, Chris provided enough lights to keep us well-lit. A cool box was also provided for storing refrigerated food, and Chris kindly replenished the ice packs daily. If you're considering booking at Dale2Swale, you won't be disappointed. If you're planning a larger group, you could easily book all three tents and have an unforgettable time together. We'll definitely be returning in the future.
