A luxurious, hand-crafted shepherd's hut with a wood-fired hot tub and an al fresco shower, beautifully tucked away in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park.
  • Sleeps: 4
  • Bedroom: 1
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 2 nights

Occupying an idyllic location in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park – close to a station whose line runs to the coastal town of Whitby – The Engine Shed is a stunning, hand-crafted shepherd’s hut that sleeps up to four guests.

Bring your well-behaved dog – or horse – along to enjoy the fun, too… as you decide whether to relax inside, watching a movie by the soft-glowing fire, or al fresco, watching a movie by the firepit!

Along with an outdoor projector screen, there’s a wood-fired hot tub to help you welcome the stars, and an cool outdoor shower to give you a zing on balmy afternoons.

Back inside the toasty self-contained hut, you’ll find a compact, well-equipped kitchen, a sociable dining table, and double bunks dressed in high-quality linen. There’s also an eco-loo, and an electric shower with complimentary toiletries.

Yes, you could get out and explore the abundant charms of the local area… but you may find that being stationed at The Engine Hut is the perfect way to spend a holiday!
