  • Luxury North Yorkshire glamping pods a mile from the centre of Thirsk
  • Just outside North York Moors; Fountains Abbey 25 minutes' drive
  • Private hot tub for each pod, plus kitchen and ensuite bathroom
A handy location just outside Thirsk and close to the North York Moors National Park would be the main selling point for most sites, but at Mowbray Glamping they've gone and added something that trumps even that excellent setting: each of the glamping pods here has its own private hot tub. That lovely touch gives you a hint as to the luxury that lies inside these cosy and characterful pods. Each one has been designed to the highest standards, with underfloor heating, a Smart TV, wifi and an in-built Bluetooth speaker system as well as an ensuite bathroom (with a powerful shower) and kitchen area with induction hob, fridge and microwave. Each pod has its own private outdoor space as well, with patio furniture as well as that fabulous hot tub (with a heat pump and powerful jets). Whether you're sitting at the table or soaking in the water, it's a lovely space for a glass of something while you take in the rural surroundings. The surrounding area certainly feels rural, with lots of lovely places nearby to go for walks (either gentle strolls or more challenging hikes) and bike rides. The site is, however, less than a mile away from the centre of Thirsk – a buzzy town that’s got plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as a racecourse and attractions linked to local boy James Herriot. Stately homes, ancient abbeys, golf courses and family attractions are all easily reached from here, as are days out in the likes of York or Harrogate.

Gloucester camping pod (hot tub, six person)

Liked: The location was perfect, 10minute walk into Thirsk, short drive to York centre and within an hour some beautiful walking routes. The cleanliness and appearance of the pod was amazing and it was very well equipped. Great effort has been made with the hot tub, how it is lit up with fairy lights it’s very relaxing.

Disliked: Nothing

Tamworth camping pod (hot tub, six person)

Liked: Immaculate and stunning pods, everything to the highest quality, well laid out, decorated, the space inside was brilliant with the set up, we had plenty of room as 2 adults and 2 older children, the hot tub was top of the range and it was lovely and private having your own garden. Lucie and Paul are lovely, they give all information you could need of the local area things to do, they work so hard and keep everything running perfectly and always there if you need anything. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to stay there. It's walking distance to Thirsk which has plenty of bars, restaurants, shops anything you need, and ideal for exploring the wider areas. We'll definitely be back, thank you for letting us stay.

Tamworth camping pod (hot tub, six person)

Liked: Friendly welcome, well equipped pod and excellent hot tub. The owners are really helpful and nothing is too much hassle. Would definitely recommend Mowbray Glamping for a family holiday. Close to Lightwater Valley, Flamingo Land and Monk Park Farm for some great days out with the kids

Disliked: Unthoughtful neighbour playing extremely loud rave music after midnight

Tamworth camping pod (hot tub, six person)

Liked: Lovely pods in great surroundings. Everything really clean and well maintained. Kids loved having the horses at the bottom of the garden. Hot tub was great, the outside area was lovely and clean.

Disliked: Nothing at all to complain about. Only thing that could have improved the accommodation would be some coat hooks and a bit of a bigger bin, and that's just being picky 😅

Berkshire camping pod (hot tub, four person)

Liked: Lucie and Paul were very welcoming and are lovely people. We stayed with our 2 year old boy and had a fantastic weekend. The cabin was immaculately clean, as was the hot tub, and we would highly recommend booking here if you can!

Gloucester camping pod (hot tub, six person)

Liked: Absolutely loved our stay at Mowbray Glamping! The pods are perfect and have everything you need for a comfortable stay. We especially appreciated the built-in sound system and the TV that allows you to log in to Netflix, making it feel like a home away from home. The kids were thrilled with the bunk beds and the friendly horses, Ted and Courtney, who kept coming over to visit us. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly, providing us with fantastic tips on walking into town and exploring the local area. The hot tub was definitely my favorite part. Unlike other hot tubs that require you to wait hours for them to warm up again, these have an auto-setting that keeps the temperature perfect while you're in it. I was able to relax and complete an entire book in a day! Overall, a wonderful experience that we can’t wait to repeat. Highly recommend!

Gloucester camping pod (hot tub, six person)

Liked: What a lovely little pod in beautiful quiet surroundings. It has all the essentials including Wifi and TV and a wonderful host, Lucie. The hot tub and horses were a hit with my children! Even though the neighbouring pods were close, it was still very private. I noticed there were car charging points for each pod too which is a bonus if I was to bring my electric car next time. Thirsk isn't too far away and the town itself had some local small businesses. James Herriot museum is a must if you have children, they could spend hours on the top floor!

Disliked: The bins! Tried to find an outside bin to put my rubbish in but couldn't find one.
