Weekend Trip to Greenoak Hideout
We had such a lovely stay at Greenoak. The hosts were so friendly and approachable and there were lots of lovely small touches that made the yurts feel homely and comfortable.
The log burners and electric blankets meant that we were warm over night and had a really comfortable sleep. We are looking forward to going in the Summer to be able to enjoy more daylight hours.
The boys (4 and 7) loved all of the friendly animals and the play equipment on the land, as well as the hot tub!
We will definitely book again and would recommend to our friends and family!
Thank you for a lovely stay and we look forward to visiting again next year!

The setting was just perfect for our family of five (including two dogs and a 4 year old). The Yurt was comfortable, clean and very cosy. The private shower and toilet facilities were great, as was the hot tub.
We had a trip to the local nature reserve during our stay, however think our daughter and the dogs were just as happy in the grounds with lots to explore, very friendly animals and lots of activities including trampoline and climbing walls.
Thank you.

Weekend Trip to Wold Meadow
The Yurt and the view were stunning. Attention to detail was spot on. We arrived to a lovely Yorkshire welcome pack and bottle of prosecco which was a lovely surprise.
Jayne and Graham have thought of everything to help you make the most of your stay.
Having a private shower room and toilet was a huge plus.
The hot tub was dreamy. The afternoon tea was well thought out, presented beautifully and completely demolished.
Breakfast was delicious too and I’m so glad we ordered both the breakfast and afternoon tea.
A perfect spot for kicking back and relaxing, we will definitely be back. Thank you so much!

Group trip
What a gorgeous stay here! Stayed in the glencroft for two nights. I was able to ask Rich lots of questions before booking. The setting is beautiful and the pod even more so.
Lovely welcome basket and all you need is provided. You just need your food, a costume for the hot tub and you’re in for a perfect stay. I slept like a log for 2 nights and the weather made it even more perfect. There is plenty to do within 1 hour of the pods and we opted for 2 days of hiking so the hot tub was a welcome relief! The under floor heating is also fantastic. The shower was a little temperamental you couldn’t get a balance between hot and cold but if that’s a stretch to find anything to improve on. I hope I’ll be back one day

We had a lovely pre-Christmas stay and would highly recommend! The yurt was beautiful inside, spotless and had all the essentials.
The beds were super comfy and the electric blanket helped keep us warm in the night. Mini fridge, small dining area and plenty of blankets for the colder nights. The bathroom facilities were also spotless and we all had fantastic hot showers which were very much appreciated.
Kids loved seeing the donkeys in the mornings and there were plenty of outdoor toys for them to play with.
We travelled into York both days which was about a 35 minute drive. Nearby towns had plenty of takeaways etc.
Would 100% visit again!

Weekend Trip to Ravensdale Glamping Retreats
Me and my girlfriend stayed here for two nights and we loved it. It’s set in a private area with lovely glamorous pods.
I booked this for my girlfriend’s birthday and it did not disappoint. Access to a private hot tub, bbq and indoor speakers in the ceiling really allowed us to relax while there.
On a night we chilled in our room and had a movie night which had access to Netflix, Disney and all other platforms.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a chilled weekend, while also only being about 25 minutes from the city of York.
Thank you to the hosts for being nice and available to us if we needed and also recommending some walks to go on.

Glamping with hot tubs in Dalby Forest guide
When to go
Walkers and mountain bikers can hit the trails at Dalby Forest year-round, although it can get muddy after rainfall, so wear sturdy shoes. July and August are the busiest months, when it’s essential to book activities or bike rentals in advance. Spring and autumn see the forest at its most colourful, garnished with wildflowers or fall foliage, while autumn through winter is the best time for stargazing.
Know before you go
- Dalby Forest is located at the south end of the North York Moors National Park, about a 30-minute drive from Pickering or Scarborough.
- The Moors Bus runs to the park from Easter through October, otherwise you will need your own transport. Paid parking (credit/debit cards only) is available.
- There are restrooms, a gift shop, and a café in the park. Bike rentals are also available.
- Some of the park’s trails are wheelchair accessible, and mobility scooters are available for hire.
