  • Luxurious bell tents with lovely Yorkshire Wolds views near Driffield
  • A 40-minute drive to York Minster and Flamingo Land Resort
  • Eco-friendly amenities, breakfast van and pizza stand at the weekend
Glamping staycation in the lovely Yorkshire Wolds anyone? A glamping staycation in a pre-erected bell tent, all luxuriously kitted out and with masses to do right on your doorstep? Sounds like you should head for Field House Farm, near Driffield in North Yorkshire, and handily located right on the Way of the Roses cycle route and 20 minutes’ walk from the Chalkland Way. Amenities around the site – where you have wonderful Yorkshire Wolds views from pretty much everywhere – include eco-friendly woodland showers (open to the elements at the top) and toilets, and you can collect fresh hens’ eggs from their shed as well as meet lots of friendly horses and donkeys. Each stylish designed bell tent sleeps up to four, and has all sorts of lovely touches like cast-iron double beds (plus two futons) with quality linens supplied as well as towels. A woodburner keeps everyone cosy and there’s a kettle for that all-important morning brew, and – even better – a welcome hamper with every booking. Outside you can spark up the barbecue, have a picnic or snuggle up around the firepit after dark, when the tents are all prettily illuminated by solar lights. A breakfast van and pizza stall are available on weekends only, and subject to availability, and there are plenty of pubs in Driffield and the surrounding countryside within 15 minutes’ drive, as well as an excellent fish and chip shop in Wetwang (10 minutes’ drive).

Local attractions

It’s easy to get out onto the local network of public footpaths, including the Chalkland Way and the Yorkshire Wolds Way, to hop on the bike and set off along National Cycle Route 164 to Beverley, or get on the coast-to-coast Way of the Roses cycle ride directly from the site. The museums, galleries, shops and markets of ancient York (40 minutes’ drive) will keep everyone entertained. When you’ve taken the kids to JORVIK Viking Centre to learn about 10th-century York, settle in a River Ouse-side pub for a drink and snack, or climb up the tower of York Minster for glorious views of the city. Beverley (25 minutes) has an ornate Gothic-era minster as well as long walks on the Westwood meadows, while Pocklington (20 minutes) has lots of unusual shops and prize lilies in Burnby Hall Gardens. Kids clamouring for the seaside? It’s half an hour’s drive to the cliff-backed beaches, rib cruises and amusement arcades in Bridlington, or you can head to Fraisthorpe Beach (35 minutes) for dog walking, kite-surfing and horse riding. If they’d rather be on hard-core rollercoasters, maybe a day at Flamingo Land Resort (40 minutes) will be on your to-do list?

Viking bell tent

Liked: Pleasant site, lovely showers under the trees. A genuine eco feel. Bell tent we hired was clean and tidy. Nice bottle of wine on arrival. Fun little kids play area, nice to see horses and donkeys on the farm and fun to collect eggs. Good that it had some solar charge points for phones etc.

The location is good for getting to other areas and is very rural. Bridlington, Scarborough, Filey etc are a pretty close drive and there’s lots of nice little villages around and about.

The eco toilets were clean as was washing up area and shower area.

There was a book swap which was a nice touch.

The tent was relatively well stocked with shortbread, plates and and cups, a frying pan, kettle and cards etc.

The wildflower meadow was past it’s best but still very pretty - i imagine at the height of poppy season it would have been incredible

Kids enjoyed collecting their own eggs and there was plenty of space for them to run around in.

Disliked: Some things just hadn’t been fully thought through. There was a stove in our tent and logs. Half the logs were too big to fit in the stove and there were no firelights on kindling - we did manage to find a few bits of wood on site and use these but this left the tent a bit smokey. The owners did being a bag of small sticks and some firelighters for us when requested the second day (and they were very nice and helpful!)

Quite a few sets of solar lights on the the tent were out of order and half full of water.


For the price paid this was a bit of a disappointment - overall though we had a lovely stay.
