Had a lovely 5 nights. Never done glamping, but was pleasantly surprised. The shepherds hut is quite special. Everything we needed was provided. In wonderful surroundings. Plenty of safe space for the dog. Outdoor space was great. Not alot of space for clothes. Had to live out of suitcase. Wouldn't take as much next time. Really enjoyed it & Pete was very friendly & helpful. Thank u for loan of dog lead. Can walk into town to several pubs & shops nearby for groceries. Highly recommended 👌

Well equipped little shepherds hut. Your own little fenced off garden, perfect for your dog. Great location on the edge of the Yorkshire Moors. Short work to the village with shops, supermarkets and pubs. The owner thoughtfully put in a lot of little extras ie, milk, biscuits, cakes, tea, coffee plus everything you need for washing up. So no need to take your own. I would definitely return. I had a weekend but could have stayed for a week!
