Quiet adults-only farm site with lovely views over the countryside
In the North York Moors, a 20-minute drive from Scarborough
Wifi access; a 15-minute drive to North Yorkshire Water Park

'Peaceful' is the watchword at this adults-only site in the North York Moors. Much of that stillness is down to its out of the way location, off a quiet country road in a national park. The fact that Wykeham Grange Farm is only for over-18's certainly helps too. What's nearby? Well, this restful park is within a mile and a half of pubs that serve home-cooked food, while the Scarborough coast is around 20 minutes away by car. Also nearby are rivers for fishing and canoeing and a horse-riding centre – likely to be a hit with both experienced equestrian types and those yet to step into the saddle. Ask about golf and rock climbing opportunities too. The site may be reserved for adults, but dogs are allowed, which is good news indeed given the local area's miles' worth of footpaths and bridleways. Heading off to nearby lakes (with or without the pup) and having a go at the aquatic activities is another great shout. Back at base, you'll be taken care of with free wifi – great for planning all those trips to seaside spots along the Yorkshire coast that you're bound to get up to while here. With so many options in that department, you might prefer to simply wing it and serendipitously sample Filey (25 minutes), Robin Hood's Bay (40 minutes) and Whitby (an hour) in any order you please.

Local attractions

There's a bunch of classic North York Moors spots close to base that definitely deserve a visit. Particularly recommended are Thornton Dale (15 minutes' drive) with its pretty village green and stream, Pickering (25 minutes), a market town home to the famed North York Moors Railway, and Rievaulx Abbey (50 minutes), a gorgeous 11th-century abbey in spectacular countryside surrounds. If more bracing outdoor activities are in order, you might like a high-altitude trip to Go Ape Dalby (25 minutes), watersports at North Yorkshire Water Park (10 minutes) or long-distance coastal walks between Scarborough (20 minutes) and Whitby (an hour). For something less physical, there's also the possibility of catching a race at Oliver's Mount (20 minutes) or genteel strolls in the well-kept grounds of Peasholm Park (15 minutes). When indoor attractions are the order of the day, perhaps see what's swimming at the Sea Life Centre (20 minutes), a popular aquarium in Scarborough that might come in handy on rainier days. Alternatively, you might like to sort a round or two of ten-pin bowling at Olympia Leisure (20 minutes), which is also in town.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: The location was stunning, right on the edge of Wykeham forest a short drive to Wykeham Lakes and just 20 minutes into Scarborough! The hut had everything I needed for my stay and was lovely and toasty in the evenings after half an hour with the heater on!

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Everything - lovely hosts, great accommodation, clean, beautiful location, very peaceful. Fantastic stay thank you

Disliked: Was not a dislike for us but there is another shepherds hut. We thought it was a private garden and didn't realise we would have neighbours. Did not bother us in the slightest and our neighbours for the weekend were lovely! But may not be what other people would want.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Loved the shepherd's hut has everything you need in one space, love the fact it has its own toilet and shower facilities makes it feel less like camping, the field the huts are in is enclosed however our dog would have fitted through the gaps to one side of the motor home field, but we had a stake and longline, however these are also provided by the owners if you don't have them, really peaceful site , was lovely to sit around the fire pit on an evening, a really relaxing break. It's an adult only site also which suited us perfectly.

Shepherd's hut

Liked: Really peaceful and scenic adults-only location. Easy access to the coast and Wolds/Moors. Plenty of local visitor attractions depending what you enjoy. We liked NT Nunnington Hall, EH Rievaulx Abbey, Helmsley Castle etc. Our Shepherd's Hut was surprisingly comfortable and had everything we needed. It was well laid out with good use of space. Very clean and well looked after. Hosts were very friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful. Nice secure site with easy access if you're towing or have a MoHo. We'd definitely go back and highly recommend.

Disliked: Nothing - it was great!
