Just a short drive from The Lake District, The Yorkshire and Durham Dales as well as The Scottish Border, we are perfectly located for you to explore.
The yurts themselves are individually decorated with full size furniture, electricity and double beds. The yurts are all located in the garden of The Black Swan Hotel, Ravenstonedale, a multi award-winning hotel, restaurant and bar; recipient of 2 AA Rosettes as well as AA pub of the year for England 2018/19.

We are very dog friendly in the hotel, restaurant, bar and yurts so please bring your furry family members.
Our beautiful woodland is also home to red squirrels (which are seen daily), protected, freshwater crayfish in the river, an otter (seen very infrequently but the nemesis of our ducks), 6 Indian runner ducks, free range chickens and our two cockerels! (Dogs are very welcome but are to be kept on a lead whilst in the woodland itself).
We are very dog friendly and charge an additional fee of £15 for 1 dog/ £20 for 2 dogs for an additional cleaning fee and for some dog friendly goodies such as poop bags and treats. The price of this yurt is based on an occupancy of 2 people. Any other people who will be staying on the sofa bed will add a charge of £40 per person per night for breakfast and their stay.
All yurts come with electrical battery pack, chargeable lanterns, tea/coffee, homemade biscuits, log burning stoves, towels, full breakfast included from the hotel, an outdoor seating area and access to our outdoor toasty warm woodland shower as well as our very cute, wooden toilet cabin.

We had the most amazing 3 nights staying at Ted's campsite! The views were incredible, we went to bed and woke up every morning surrounded by fells. We rented a fire pit from Ted which was great and kept us warm into the evening. We walked to a lovely pub Dufton and did some lovely walks right from our tent. Meeting Ted was by far the highlight of our trip. He was so helpful and generous. We hitchhiked from Newcastle so were without a car and Ted offered us a lift around the area many times! He even took us to a chocolate factory - his generosity and kindness was so wonderful and greatly appreciated! If you want a camp that makes you feel like you are wilding camping with amazing views and an even more amazing host then this is the place! Thanks Ted you make our trip :)

Great spot and starting point for walks up Murton Pike and High Cup Nick. Nice little site, portaloo and tap as described and Ted is a fine fellow. Fresh eggs and he also let us stay in our campervans so worth asking if it’s been dry enough. Would stay again

Weekend Trip to Cherish Glamping
Amazing 3 nights in the yurt. So cozy and snug with the woodburner going but also lots of space with the bed, tea, coffee and breakfast bits, the table and sofa. Breakfast was delicious and the whole vibe of the place was really friendly and welcoming. Loved stargazing from the hot tub. Walked to Askrigg Waterfall one day (plus food from the lovely bakery in Askrigg village) and visited the Creamery in Hawes on another day. Beautiful part of Yorkshire!! Thanks for having us

Me and my boyfriend stayed at Teds campsite last night and have to say it was 10/10. Ted welcomed us at the gate, rented us a fire pit and wood with some matches for next to nothing. Had plenty of recommendations for breakfast and the abundance of pubs in villages surrounding. Lots of nice hiking trails around. We visited high force waterfall in the morning after we’d left after taking home all the farm fresh eggs ted had to offer. The night previous we’d had a lovely meal at one of the pubs in appleby and had a toasty from in the bakery in the morning which we delicious! Such a nice first njght away for me and my boyfriend made extra special by the lovely ted a perfect host in giving you your privacy but also a perfect helping hand !

Margaret's land was very quiet and calming, it is quite close to the M62 but don't let that scare you, the tall thick conifers surrounding the land block all the noise. Margaret was lovely, she couldn't be more helpful. We will return, we only booked one night as we wanted to try the electrical hook up on our new van, but would have happily stayed longer had we not had other plans.

My girlfriend and I decided to go camping completely last minute in our TentBox, so there weren’t many places left, but honestly, stumbling across Ted’s campsite felt like a win. It’s very back to basics, which was exactly what we wanted. No noise, no crowds, just a quiet spot tucked away from everything. The road nearby is private and barely used, so the only cars we saw were locals or farmers passing through.
The field is surrounded by sheep, chickens, geese and all sorts of wildlife. We even spotted lambs, rabbits and pheasants wandering around like they owned the place. At night, the little stream running along the edge of the field was ridiculously calming.
Ted himself is genuinely lovely :) you can tell he really cares about the people who stay there. He also sells fresh eggs, which we obviously bought, and they were great.
It was so quiet that we actually debated whether we should even bother going for a walk or just sit there and enjoy doing nothing. In the end we walked up Murton Pike (1 hour each way). On the path only was us and the sheep, and the view from the top was completely worth it.
For a last minute choice, we couldn’t believe how perfect it turned out. Proper peaceful, simple, and exactly what we needed.

My wife and I loved our short stay in the Frodo pod. Totally immaculate and everything you need there to hand, we particularly enjoyed watching and listening to the birds as we sat by the firepit. The bed was very comfortable too! We're already planning on returning later in the year!

Stayed at Old Chapel Campsite in Murton, near Appleby. A great base for the North Pennines.
Ted was a brilliant host. He provided a fire pit, wood, and fresh eggs from the site. Bare basics done right.
Would happily return.

Weekend Trip to Fairy Bell Wood
Ste and Emily's yurt was so relaxing for our winter getaway. We absolutely loved the wood burning stove and the hob was just enough for us to cook inside. We also loved that the yurt was located in between the Lakes and the Dales! We were able to get in a hike in on both days we were there! Would highly recommend! Thank you Ste and Emily for a lovely stay!

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!

Where to go
How Stean Gorge
Almost certainly Nidderdale’s most important outdoors hub is this narrow limestone gorge near Lofthouse. Drive, bike, or hike up from Pateley Bridge via Gouthwaite Reservoir to partake in canyoning, navigating via ferrata, gorge scrambling, or rock climbing. The activity centre here has a campsite, and others sit nearby with convenient facilities.
Brimham Rocks
At Brimham Rocks, 100 million-year-old boulders sheer out of the heather moorland in formations whose names evocatively intimate their bizarre shapes: the Dancing Bear, the Gorilla, and the Smartie Tube. This spectacular Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) lies 10 miles northwest of Harrogate, and is a highlight of the Nidderdale Way hiking trail. The closest campsites sit near Pateley Bridge to the west.
Masham & Around
Masham is a likeable market town toward the northern extent of Nidderdale AONB on Yorkshire’s most famous dale, Wensleydale. Its two breweries, arts and crafts galleries, variety of places to eat and drink, and camping and caravan park just east of town ensure it’s a great base for fans of under-canvas sleeping. The 50-mile circular Ripon Rowel Walk passes town and largely follows the banks of the two rivers converging in Masham, the Ure, and the Burn.
Jervaulx Abbey
One of Yorkshire’s great medieval abbeys, Jervaulx Abbey sits near Nidderdale AONB’s boundary within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The splendid 12th-century Cistercian ruin features a small camping and caravanning site within its walled estate beside the River Ure. You can pick up the Six Dales trail, which runs right across the AONB from north to south, right outside.
