Lahtlewood Glamping

Excellent site, spotless pods, everything you need for family get together. Lovely for kids as freedom to run around, great park. Excellent hosts from Sarah and the team.

Everything, the scrub shack was especially good.

Nothing

Friendly staff, great accommodation with everything you need… off grid meant the kids made friends with others and the nice weather helped! Defo be booking again

Absolutely everything. Sarah & David such amazing hosts, and such a joy to stay in the wonderful owl grey pod. Hot tub and woodland setting so relaxing and peaceful with just the birdsong to serenade us in the mornings and the stars above us to enjoy at night.

Having to leave!

sleeping pods, wood fired hot tub and shower.

Liked Everything about this place, lovely pods, was great to have your own toilet and showering facilities for each pod and was great to have everything all ready there from cooking equipment to your bedding linen. Was even better that fact we could allow our young child to run free outside in pod area as there’s no cars within this area. Staff so friendly checking in with you and if require anything. Site is kept clean and well maintained.
Was great to have no Wi-Fi and great to just be grounded to our surroundings.

This is honestly our absolute favourite place to stay. This was our second time here, and again, we did not want to leave. Our children, aged 19, 14, 10 and 5 all had an absolutely amazing time, and we spent our time exploring the beautiful grounds, and spending quality time as a family, with the luxury of the hot shower and outside kitchen facilities. The fact we had no technology made this experience even better. The hosts, Sarah and David, are just absolutely fabulous, they go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. They work so hard and are so friendly, always smiling. We will be booking as soon as we possibly can. This glampsite, is not your average glampsite, this is just so much better, with a touch of class. We love Lahtlewood <3

Leaving and going home.

Location: 20 mins from York/Scarborough. Great for days out.

Hot Tub: a nice touch on the Woodpecker huts, but it takes around 4 hours to heat up, on your first day. Not 2 hours as advertised. The hot tub will stay warm the following day, so you don't need to add as much wood. It would be a really nice touch if the owners could heat the hot tubs before arrival, without charge. If you're paying £350 for 2 nights this would just be a special touch and save the guests extra work on arrival, when they are there to relax and unwind.

Owners: A lovely warm welcome from Sarah the owner who walked us round and showed us the facilities. It's nice that the owners are there and you know where to find them if needed, whilst leaving you to enjoy your stay and privacy also.

Noise from road: Unfortunately you can hear loud traffic from early morning-late in the evening from the main road (Scarborough Road) this was based on staying in the Woodpecker Pods, I reckon the Owl huts don't have this noise. For an 'off the grid' location this is slightly disappointing, but nothing the owners can do to improve.

No power in huts or electricity points around the site: Although the site offers to be a luxury glamping facility, you don't have power in the huts or access to charging points around the place. So if you need to do any remote work you won't be able to charge up, especially laptops as the only charging point (in the toilet cubicle) is a USB charging hub.

Price: We don't think the camping site meets it's price point, without electricity or running hot water we think it could be around £100 less. We've been to other luxury glamping sites and budget sites that have power sockets, hot running water and they were around £100 less. With everything included.

Added extras: The BBQ coal and wood is not included, and any extra wood for your hot tub or shower is at an extra charge. This is something you don't really expect when paying in excess of £350. Again this could be clearer on the pitch-up website. (NO POWER / CHARGE FOR COAL / CHARGE FOR EXTRA WOOD) This would be an easy way for guests to see, as not everyone has the time to read through Pitch Up / The owners' website and watch several videos and read emails before checking in.

Loved everything about it! The kids/ two 14yo, one 7 and a 1year old all loved it sitting round the fire no phones playing outdoor games. We where all gutted to leave!
