Shepherd's hut (pet friendly)
Liked: Stayed here as a single parent with a 3.5year old and we had a great time!! Really peaceful site, I felt comfortable letting my son play lawn games and roam round freely, hosts went above and beyond to make this a memorable getaway, feeding the goats and cows was amazing, the hut was nicely decorated and homely with all the essentials, really good location and easy to get to Harrogate town centre, and the hot tub was perfect!!
Disliked: No WiFi in our hut and 4G signal was intermittent, but we used the opportunity to escape the outside world!!

Liked: This is my second visit and loved it even more. The weather was fantastic, the shepherd hut was comfortable, fresh, luxurious. I went with two dogs and they loved it too being outside for so many hours. Jo and mark are great and you never want for anything they are always happy to help. I’ll be visiting again without a doubt
Disliked: Absolutely nothing!!!

Shepherd's hut (pet friendly)
Liked: Everything - Fantastic place to stay. Mark and Jo have a lovely set up on there working farm with the Shepherd Huts and soon there Geo Domes. We were made very welcome with our two large bred dogs (best ever compare to some dog friendly sites) We enjoyed the Hut, well catered for and the extra bits in the welcome hamper (deserve more than 5*) The hot tub was fantastic the surroundings peaceful. Mark greeted us and at the end of the holiday we met with the Goats and Highland Cows with him (Brilliant) Jo was there to message for any of our needs and even after we left. 100% will go again and recommend to all to go especially with your furry friends
Disliked: LEAVING wanted to stay longer as was so relaxing - just what we needed

Shepherd's hut (pet friendly)
Liked: Loved every minute of staying at windmill retreats 😍 Stayed in the highland hideaway. The hut has everything you need for a long weekend and the hot tub was ready to go when we arrived. The owners Jo & Mark go above and beyond in every aspect and are so lovely and kind. We arrived to a lovely sweet and a drink each. Fresh towels in the hut for us plus a fluffy robe and some slippers. There are a couple of pubs/restaurants close by and the food is amazing in them!! We absolutely loved feeding the cows and goats with Mark and his little boy on the day we left 🐄🐐 it was definitely a highlight! Will 100% be returning to this gorgeous glamping site 💖

Liked: From the moment we booked the owners, Jo and Mark went above and beyond to make our stay amazing. The shepherds hut was perfect. All kitchen utensils, plates, pans, toaster, microwave, fridge, hob, even a coffee maker! Our favourite item had to be the whistling kettle! We loved the little touches of drinks, delicious cakes and welcome pack-the fresh bread made great toast! The bathroom has the most amazing power shower!! With large fluffy towels and dressing gowns. The bed is a big queen size, with cozy pillows and themed duvet cover. Nice seating areas, inside and out. We booked a hot tub for our stay, warm and bubbly, star gazing, owl watching and sipping Prosecco-perfect end to a perfect day. The site is on a working farm with goats and highland cows. The highlight of the weekend was a text from Mark asking if we would like to feed them! It was a great opportunity to meet the family-3 adorable children and other guests. You are made to feel like friends from the moment you book to when leaving site. We really can’t wait to go back!
Disliked: Having to come home!

Shepherd's hut (no pets)
Liked: From the moment we booked to the moment we left, Jo and Mark (the owners) were fabulous at making our stay brilliant. They are so helpful and kind and couldn't do enough to make us feel at home. The lodge and hot tub were set in a stunning location and were so lovely. The site has amazing views, is sooooo quite and relaxing and the sky at night when clear was just an amazing array of stars. The accommodation was great and has ample facilities for a great long weekend or more. Sitting on the balcony with the firepit/bbq or in the tub with a glass of something was just lovely with the sounds of the Yorkshire countryside the only thing to hear. We'll certainly be back.

Liked: Genuinely could not fault this place at all. The room was so gorgeous and clean. Modern appliances. The hot tub was lovely. The hosts were so accommodating and lovely. (They go above and beyond) Fresh bread, milk, Prosecco and cakes on arrival. Cannot stress how unbelievably kind and generous the hosts were. Gorgeous setting and perfect distance from local pubs, shops and short drive to Harrogate. The kitchen appliances and the bbq made it so easy you never need to leave the site. Quiet, small site so perfect for dogs and relaxing in the hot tub in the evening.
Disliked: Not a dislike at all but we didn’t know it was to be kept on so we switched the hot tub off but it needs a long time to heat up. Not the fault owners or a negative of the site but the storm had taken down the Wi-Fi.
