Glamping cabin at a private animal sanctuary in Huby, North Yorkshire
York 25 minutes’ drive, and Flamingo Land Resort 40 minutes
Rescue birds and animals on site, plus donkey rides and animal feeding

It’s not that often you get the chance to glamp it up at a private animal sanctuary, but then Cheeky Chicken Cottage in the North Yorkshire village of Huby is just that little bit different. Stay over at this family-friendly spot and you’ll wake every day to a farmyard experience with around 70 rescued animals and birds, ranging from chickens and ducks to donkeys, horses, ponies, Pygmy goats, sheep, cats, dogs… the list goes on. But what of your accommodation? ‘Out of Africa’ is a huge, open-plan safari-themed log cabin with a highly decorative king-size four-poster bed – plus a sofa bed for any kids – with all bedding and towels included. A well-equipped, country-style kitchen corner makes self-catering a breeze (although there are pubs and takeaways within five minutes’ stroll), and there are exclusive-use shower facilities right outside. You’ll always be toasty warm as the place is fully centrally heated, as well as air-conditioned to keep you cool on warmer summer days. Two French doors lead out to private decking that wraps around the cabin, where there’s a barbecue and alfresco dining table and chairs. The lodge is actually located within the property’s animal sanctuary, and you’re welcome to join in with the animal feeding in the morning and evening.

Power optional cement/asphalt and grass RV campsite

Liked: What a wonderful welcome we received from host’sTracy and Gary. Nothing was too much, we had a tour of the site when we arrived. Then the very next morning our seven year old son Euan got to feed all the wonderful animals. He was in his element, helping Tracy and learning about the animals! To stay in this site it’s all about the animals! So you need to be self sufficient in terms of toilets/sanitation etc. however my husband loved the Elsan disposal point! So clean and easy to use! Great that we had EHU as well! We will definitely be back! Thank you so much for all your hard work and time looking after the animals and educating your guests on their care! Staying at Cheeky Chicken Cottage has definitely been a highlight of our holiday! 🥰

Disliked: That we only stayed for two nights we should have stayed longer and we will definitely be back in the summer next time!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your support and hope to see you again soon.

Local attractions

Chances are you will lose your kids to the cuddly hens and ducks the moment you arrive at Cheeky Chicken Cottage, but just in case you manage to lure them away, promise more feathery friends during hawk walks and owl feeding at York Bird of Prey Centre (five minutes’ drive). Of course, you can also bribe your offspring with adrenaline rides and big cats at Flamingo Land Resort (40 minutes). Spend a day getting to know ancient York (25 minutes’ drive/bus ride) with a walk around the medieval walls, a climb up 275 steps to York Minster’s viewing platform for spectacular city views and a jaunt around the immersive dioramas at Jorvik Viking Centre. If it’s fresh North Yorkshire air you’re craving, have a stroll along the River Derwent in the Howardian Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes); when the kids are demanding a trip to the seaside, the east-coast resorts of Filey and Scarborough are both about an hour’s drive away.
