The Dreamer’s Hut is part of the Hawnby Estate and is ideal for those looking for a unique experience whilst relaxing in the peace and tranquillity of the North York Moors National Park countryside. This National Park is renowned for its Dark Skies and at night the skies are often filled with the many constellations, which you can watch from the luxury of the log-fired bath, listening to the awakening owls. Beautifully presented inside and furnished to an exceptionally high standard, complete with a cosy wood burner for those chilly nights, the hut caters for your every need and includes a thoughtful basket of local delights to welcome you to your unique accommodation.

The area is also a walker’s paradise, with an enormous selection of footpaths and bridleways to choose from, including the nearby Inn Way and Cleveland Ways long distance paths. What could be more romantic than an escape to the country in a bespoke shepherd’s hut, enjoying a home cooked meal with a glass of wine out on the decking as the light fades and the colours of the sunset ebb across the sky.
Dreamer’s Hut is only 6 miles from Helmsley, one of Yorkshire’s finest market towns.

The Dreamer’s Hut is named after ’The Hawnby Dreamers’ - three local shepherds who in the mid-1700s, fell asleep whilst working in the fields on a hot day in the adjacent valley of Ladhill Ghyll, of which the hut overlooks. The shepherds awoke to discover they had each had the same vivid dream of spiritual awakening and being called to change their lives for the better. The three subsequently walked to Newcastle to hear the preaching of the famous John Wesley and converted to Methodism, bringing this faith back to Hawnby. Village pub 500 yards, village shop 1 mile and alternative local pubs and restaurants within 6 miles.

Very well presented, almost everything had been clearly thought about.A lovely location, amazing views and great for stargazing!The log-fired bath took a little while to get going as it's winter but once warm it was lovely and relaxing.Just enough nearby too, an excellent pub and a wonderful little tea room within a short walk's distance.
Melanie
