  • Luxury glamping pods at the foot of North Yorkshire’s Hambleton Hills
  • North York Moors 20 minutes’ drive; Fountains Abbey 35 minutes
  • Hot tubs, bespoke kitchens and bathrooms with underfloor heating
Set at the foot of the Hambleton Hills and with views towards the North York Moors National Park, the luxury glamping pods at Briar Bank Glamping are a splendid pick for families and couples who like the outdoors but prefer cosy luxury to camping in a tent. Tucked into a remote corner of a family-run North Yorkshire farm, the pods have woodland to the rear and wildlife all around – keep your eyes peeled for free-range hens and frequent wild visitors like pheasants, hares and deer as well as chattering songbirds. This is undoubtedly a luxury experience full of creature comforts. The pods each have a private stone patio with a barbecue and seating for alfresco meals. The treats keep on coming too: TVs, mood lighting and ensuite bathrooms with underfloor heating are standard. Private kitchens are equipped with a microwave, combination oven and induction hob, as well as a dishwasher and fridge-freezer. There’s also a private hot tub at each unit, where guests can pamper themselves following cycling or hiking trips through scenic North Yorkshire villages or exploring Herriot Country (15 minutes’ drive) and the Yorkshire Dales National Park (40 minutes). If you’re happy for someone else to do the cooking, there are plenty of coffee shops, pubs and restaurants in the market towns of Northallerton (10 minutes’ drive) and Thirsk (15 minutes).

Cocksfoot 1 bedroom camping pod

Liked It was amazing break. The pod was immaculate, modern and had everything we needed in it. The location was stunning and peaceful. It felt like as you are far away from everything and at the same time Northallerton just 10 min away, with a lot of other places to visit close by.
We enjoyed hot tub. Even did star gazing from it. It was great experience.
It was good balance for children being out side playing, site visiting, hot tub and watching movies together ( WiFi was brilliant, netflix as well).
We enjoyed it so much that we stay an extra night 😊

Fescue camping pod

Liked The pod was fantastic, very clean, modern, spacious and had everything we needed. We loved the hot tub, it was very peaceful and the views were stunning. We arrived to a free bottle of Prosecco and some beautiful home made millionaires shortbread. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing weekend. We will definitely be returning.

Cocksfoot 1 bedroom camping pod

Liked We had a lovely few days at Briar Bank. The pod and hot tub were absolutely spotless, and the facilities inside were excellent. There was also a file with all the info we needed for our stay, and the hosts provided a bottle of Prosecco and fresh cakes, which was such a lovely treat. They had really thought of everything, and we had a fantastic stay. I would definitely recommend Briar Bank to anyone who fancied glamping.

Fescue camping pod

Liked Everything! David & Anne were lovely and so accommodating, nothing was to much trouble. The location was stunning, peaceful, tranquil and just what we required. The hot tub was blissful after a long day's adventure, and very well kept and clean. The pod was clean, all the facilities you need, amazing sound system, cosy, warm with ynderfloor heating and comfy. We used the bbq and sat outside enjoying the view!

If kids are part of your holiday, there are gentle rides at Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park (half an hour). Follow woodland walks or watch birds of prey fly at Thorp Perrow - Arboretum and Bird of Prey & Mammal Centre (also half an hour), or lead the kids underground into the intriguing Mother Shipton’s Cave (35 minutes). Keen hiker? The Lyke Wake Walk starts in Osmotherley (10 minutes). Other notable trails within driving distance include the Cleveland Way and the Coast to Coast Walk.
