Property code: OC-88970

Elevate your glamping experience with a stay in this splendid shepherd's hut, a real gem in the North Yorkshire countryside. This tranquil and undisturbed property benefits from a countryside location, just 1 mile from the pretty village of Stapleton. With only the rolling hills and livestock around you as neighbours, you can retreat to this amazing space when in need of peace and quiet with only your loved one for company. Despite its enviable seclusion, the owners of this unique holiday home are always close by should you need assistance with anything.

The converted shepherd's hut is a bijou space with plenty of traditional features maintained. Despite its small size, the property has been thoughtfully laid out to ensure that the space is cosy instead of cramped, a feature which hasn’t gone unnoticed by so many previous guests who are eager to return again and again.

A small external ladder leads up and into the elevated property. As you step inside, you’re instantly met by a compact kitchen that’s been well-stocked with all of the necessary cooking utensils. With a two-ring gas hob, a combi microwave oven and a mini fridge, you can really get creative when cooking here to rustle up a hearty breakfast or a delectable one-pot evening meal.

When it’s time to sit down together, a snug little dining table for two is within easy reach. This table has been neatly positioned underneath the property’s pretty window, offering you the chance to look out and admire the scenery even on those days when the weather doesn’t allow for alfresco dining. When meals are done, you’ll find a fully plumbed-in sink with all of the necessary cleaning equipment to leave the kitchen organised.

You can enjoy some downtime in this pretty property by climbing up into the raised double bed. This super-comfortable bed with a plush mattress and fresh linens provides a wonderful space for two to cuddle up and relax. A wall-mounted TV or Bluetooth speaker can be switched on, or you can savour the silence, and each get stuck into a book instead.

Completing the inside offering of this stand-out accommodation choice is an en-suite shower room. Fully fitted with a walk-in shower unit and contemporary WC and basin, you’ll relish in the freedom of a glamping trip without needing to use any shared facilities.

An optimal choice for stays throughout the summer months, this holiday home really comes into its own when you consider the outdoor space. Fully enclosed and entirely private, you’ll spend so much time in this pretty garden when the weather is right. Here you’ll find a picnic bench with a parasol for sitting out and savouring alfresco dinners, as well as a  BBQ and all of the required cooking utensils for getting stuck in.

A real highlight of staying right here is the sole use of the wood-fired hot tub. Complete with a generous collection of logs ready to throw on the fire, this wood-fired hot tub is a wonderful way of enjoying a little taste of luxury as evening falls. Sink into the warm bubbles and gaze up into the dark night skies above you, plotting adventures for days yet to come.

Quiet and peaceful location and had what was expected. It is very cosy. Would have struggled with two persons and a larger dog. Space has been utilised very well and it had most of the things we needed. Did the trick to get away from the fireworks.

There is a shop which is a 5 min drive away so if you need anything it isnt far to go. Hudswell woods was a 20 minute drive away which is a must to visit as the views are fantastic, lovely village with plenty of shops and markets and many pubs to choose from. Hosts were nothing but helpful and no query was too much for them. Excellent communicationRead more and lovely to speak with. Hide

Very peaceful and tranquil. We took our dog and she loved it. She sat at the door watching the cows graze. Views are beautiful and all you can here is the birds chirping. Would highly recommend for dog owners who would like a little getaway with them as fully enclosed.

This is a great secluded break, fantastic for anyone with a reactive dog - livestock close by and some occasional farm traffic, no other dogs or people around. Lovely and cosy, wood-fired hot tub is gorgeous (took us a little practice to get it just right). Excellent stay overall - we'll definitely be back

Lovely cosy quiet and clean but, it was very well thought out and we had everything we needed. The enclosed area meant the dog could be off leash and enjoying the garden whilst we're in the hot tub. Plenty of walks to take the dog on and local village nearby for any last minute bits needed. Very comfy bed, quiet surroundings and we really can't waiRead moret to come back. Owner was incredibly helpful and quick in replying when we had questions about walking and what was needed for the stay. 5 Hide
