Hart Lake Escapes
England / York, North Yorkshire
Full description
Exquisite self-contained shepherd's huts for romantic couples, with luxurious detail and individual wood-fired hot tubs, secluded around a shimmering private lake on the edge of York.
Friendly and family-run, no loving attention to detail has been spared at Hart Lake Escapes.
Comprising nature-themed, exclusively for adults shepherd's huts beautifully positioned around a tranquil private lake, you'll feel far away from hectic life back home... even though you'll also be right on the edge of the historic city of York.
You'll note plenty of beautiful and welcoming touches before you've even entered your chosen hut, from the vintage-style lamps that illuminate the woodland pathways at night, to the expertly-crafted slate name and instruction signs.
And once you've stepped inside, you'll be greeted by a mouth-watering, locally-sourced Yorkshire welcome pack, with treats including fresh bread, eggs, and coffee, to help your holiday get off to the most delicious start!
Owners Clare and Andrew have seen to it that your stay includes a wealth of home-style comfort, so there's a log-burner and a Smart TV to snuggle in front of, and a Bose Bluetooth speaker to help set the perfect mood. as you savour a home-cooked feast.
You'll also have full en-suite shower facilities (no midnight dashes to communal washrooms here!), complete with Neal's Yard organic toiletries, freshly-laundered towels, and fluffy robes in two different sizes.
There's also a heart-warming, handmade range of accessories, including plump cushions, bowls, and napkins, to reflect the unique theme of your chosen hut: duck for The Nest, pheasant for The Roost, and owl for The Hollow.
Open a bottle of wine and relax at your private al fresco seating area. You could even have a barbecue if you're feeling peckish, and enjoy a sizzling sunset supper. Later on, why not toast the arrival of the stars from the warming comfort of your very own wood-fired hot tub?
When you step back inside your hut, there'll be a downy kingsize bed ready and waiting for you, dressed in Egyptian cotton bedding and a sumptuous mattress from the Yorkshire Mattress Company. You'll even have a choice of pillows, to help you drift off into a perfect slumber.
What you do when you wake up is completely up to you. Perhaps you'll enjoy a long, lazy lie-in, before brewing some fresh coffee and watching the local wildlife go about its daily business. There are cute home-made nesting boxes on the lake, and you may even catch sight of cheeky Phil the Pheasant, or grazing deer.
Head into York for shopping and sightseeing, or for more adventurous types Go Ape! is around a half-hour drive from the site. Oh, and if you don't feel like cooking when you get back, you can round off another amazing day with a fish-and-chip supper just down the road!
