The Hideaway at Baxby Manor

Chill out, unwind and savour sensational glamping and camping at The Hideaway - a wonderfully relaxed, totally friendly and perfectly placed eco-friendly campsite in the heart of North Yorkshire.

The Hideaway lets you enjoy all the gems camping has to offer - from waking to the sound of birdsong to spending evenings around your own proper campfire (a rarity nowadays!). With quirky Ecopods, magical Hoggit houses and enough space for up to 40 pitches, here you can soak up chilled out vibes surrounded by incredible countryside, vast open skies and some of Britain's best wildlife. All the while, relax safe in the knowledge that your holiday isn't costing the earth. In fact, every step has been taken for minimal environmental impact, helping preserve this beautiful spot for years to come.

First up, The Hideaway's three Ecopods provide a wonderfully unique way to experience the essence of camping - without leaving too many luxuries behind! For a romantic retreat with a twist, try a double Ecopod, where you and your loved one can curl up together on a proper bed (with a super comfy mattress!), warm inside your eco-friendly wooden cabin. Or, if you're traveling with little ones, there's the family Ecopod, complete with a double bed and two small singles - perfect for two happy little campers!

You'll find a private fire pit for cooking (although you're welcome to bring a camping stove for boiling that kettle in a hurry!). You can also enjoy the chance to go back to basics without electricity. Instead, relax beside tea-lit lanterns as you swap campfire stories, gaze at the stars, or simply soak up the peaceful surroundings... How romantic!

Fancy recreating your own fantasy adventure? Well the recent Hoggit House additions at The Hideaway might be just the ticket! 

This accommodation here offers something a little more luxurious, with double bed plus two extra single beds and a bunk over the double bed.

The unique turfed roof and wood-clad exteriors are complemented by unique upcycled outdoor furniture and you will also have your very own wood-burning stove inside and fire pit outside.

If you're more of a traditionalist when it comes to camping, bring your own tent and pitch up in The Hideaway's peaceful six-acre field, where you'll be surrounded by trees and the sound of the stream running past. Toast marshmallows around your open campfire, and keep a keen eye for the incredible wildlife that live nearby - including otters and kingfishers! And to truly get in touch with nature, opt for one of the five pitches in The Sanctuary - an untouched, adults-only part of the site, designed to encourage wildlife and ground-nesting birds within metres of your tent.

Whether you're staying in an Ecopod, Hoggit house, or bringing your own canvas, you can look forward to the log-heated amenity building with beautifully warm eco-friendly showers (heated by a wood pellet biomass boiler).

There's also an indoor heated pot-wash building with a communal fridge and freezer, a drying room for any wet boots or clothes, and a small shop stocking essentials - including free range eggs from the farm, local cider and apple juice, and even a selection of toys for the kids. And if that wasn't enough, you'll even find an onsite book swap offering some great holiday reads, and Liza-Jane - a charming vintage caravan selling delicious home-baked food and fresh ground coffee! Yum!

Beyond The Hideaway, North Yorkshire is a paradise for walkers and cyclists, who can discover the majestic moors via a variety of stunning routes. And with historic York and Harrogate in easy driving distance, there's an array of historic and cultural attractions to discover (don't forget tea at Betty's!). Closer to home, the charming village of Husthwaite - just a 15-minute walk away - is well worth a visit, with a great new steakhouse arriving on the scene.

Whatever you get up to during your stay, your time at The Hideaway is sure leave you feeling chilled, relaxed and ready to take on the world again. That is, if you can ever bring yourself to leave...
