What customers say

Guests consistently praise the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, beautiful woodland walks, and stunning views, enhanced by the well-equipped, cosy huts and the popular hot tubs. The welcome pack and dressing gowns are appreciated gestures. Some reviewers noted minor issues with cleanliness (a dirty cup) and a desire for more storage, hooks for coats/robes, and better WiFi for streaming. Limited toilet and kitchen roll supplies were also mentioned. The location is considered excellent for exploring the surrounding areas.

The Lair shepherd's hut

Liked Enjoyed the tranquility and the woodland walks.
Enjoyed the hot tub.
Enjoyed the welcome pack of milk, bread, tea etc and the dressing gowns provided.
Pod was nice and cosy despite low temperatures outside.

Disliked Disappointed to find a dirty cup in the cupboard.
Limited supply of half rolls of kitchen roll and toilet roll.
Would have liked hooks to hang up wet coats as well as an outdoor weatherproof box to store muddy boots.
Hooks near hot tub would be useful for hanging dressing gowns.

The Lair shepherd's hut

Liked We loved every minute we were there. It was so peaceful, we were fortunate to have nice weather and a clear night sky, sitting in the hot tub with nothing but stars and the sound of nature. It was true awe.
Thank you for for the accommodation we couldn't ask you to make it anymore perfect.

The Sett shepherd's hut

Liked The location was amazing - peaceful, beautiful and yet near enough to local attractions to go out and explore in the car.
Hot tub was fab, and perfect for soaking tired legs after a day's walking.

Disliked WiFi signal not always good enough to stream tv consistently, and could be a bit more storage space created in the hut.

Local attractions

What’s it to be – the moors or the beach? Luckily they’re both close to hand. If you’d like to see them on the same day, jump aboard the North Yorkshire Moors Railway at Pickering (20 minutes’ drive) to steam across heather uplands to Whitby (40 minutes), overlooked by its dramatic Gothic-era abbey and with a choice of beaches, where you can paddle in the sea or forage for jet among the rock pools. If you’d prefer to explore on foot, there are numerous walks from the site – it takes about two hours to walk to the ruins of remote Skelton Tower. Hit Goathland (half an hour’s drive) for a family stroll up to Mallyan Spout Waterfall (15 minutes’ walk), or a longer jaunt across the moor to Simon Howe Stone Circle (50 minutes) for views across moortops to the North Sea. Kids in tow? Inspire them with a love of nature at the wildlife exhibitions in Dalby Forest Visitor Centre (35 minutes’ drive), let them try out the family-friendly mountain bike trails and then all have a go on the zipwires at Go Ape Dalby (also 35 minutes).
