Pheasant’s Roost Shepherd’s Hut

A rustic and romantic retreat set within North Yorkshire farmland, ideal for first-time glampers and Wolds Way walkers.
  • Sleeps: 2
  • Bedroom: 1
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 2 nights

Pheasant’s Roost is a cosy shepherd’s hut for two (plus two small dogs, if you’re bringing extra company along!), gloriously surrounded by North Yorkshire countryside.

Perfect for first-time glampers who don’t want to ‘rough it’ in the Great Outdoors, you’ll find Pheasant’s Roost lovingly equipped with plenty of little luxuries. There’s a crackling wood-burner with plenty of logs, a kitchen area that includes a microwave, a two-ring hob and a mini-fridge, and a private en-suite shower room with a flushing loo.  

You’ll also be supplied with fluffy towels, crisp bed linen, and a welcome warm drink (with biscuits, of course) on arrival.

Oh, and not forgetting the private, wood-fired hot tub – what better way to catch that beautiful golden sunset? If you really want to treat yourselves, you can even arrange for the tub to be heated up especially for your arrival, with a bottle of Prosecco waiting for you.

Curl up and chat the evening away in front of the wood-burner, or outside in the paddock after a sizzling barbecued supper. Though you’ll feel deliciously secluded from the rest of the world, there’s a TV on hand once you’re all talked out.

When it’s time to turn in, simply head for your downy double bed, and drift off to sleep under the gleaming North Yorkshire stars.

In the mood for a hearty breakfast? Why not take advantage of the locally-sourced breakfast pack option to set yourselves up for the day ahead? When you’re surrounded by so much invigorating walking country, you might be grateful for the energy!

“Enjoyed a lovely three night stay in this gorgeous Shepherds Hut. It is very well equipped, cosy & ideally placed for visiting local attractions, I would thoroughly recommend.”

“We have had the most relaxing weekend in the shepherd’s hut. It was so peaceful, the hot tub was amazing and hut itself had everything you need. Would definitely return here.”

“We stayed there over the August Bank Holiday, the first ones in this brand new shepherd’s hut with hot tub. This is a fantastic retreat situated in a great location with the Yorkshire coast and moors on your doorstep. The owners Pauline and Jim are wonderful and so dog friendly. This is a five star Shepherd’s Hut and location, and five star owners. Highly recommended.”
