Amazing place to relax, good facilities, and if you forget something, the owner's kind enough to post the items back to you, which is a nice gesture. Highly recommend.

Could not fault this beautiful place. We had the most amazing stay and our pup had the time of his life! Everything was so simple to get to and everything was explained perfectly. Thank you to the hosts for providing such a beautiful spot.
Jacob
We had a fantastic stay and would recommend this to friends and family. Shepards hut was warm and clean and had everything you needed. Thank you
Alana
The perfect place for a short getaway. Enjoyed prosecco in the hot tub and had a bbq every night. We could see that the place is perfect for pets and will definitely be taking our dog next time. It's clear that the owners put a lot of effort into it and they thought about every little detail, amazing!
Karl
Everything was perfect, could of stayed longer.
Julie
A perfect getaway in a tranquil setting. The hut is gorgeous & has everything you need with plenty of outside space to have a meal, sunbathe on the grass, play fetch with the dog or soak in the hot tub. I visited North York Moors & Yorkshire Dales national parks & explored the local parks & woodlands. A peaceful break in a stunning part of the counRead moretry. 5 stars for the host too. Well worth a visit. Hide
Rose
What a lovely place to stay! We went for the long bank holiday weekend and it was perfect. Everything you need all there, whether you want to explore or stay in the hut there is plenty to do. The garden was well equipped with the BBQ (which we used every night) and the hot tub! Cant recommend enough. Thank you very much
Diane

The field barn hut was a lovely get away for me and partner, and our two dogs, we enjoyed lots of muddy walks and the hot tub along with a bbq every night. Great time away and would throughly recommend it.

This property is a short stay perfection, great for security of animals and so peaceful. Truly everything you will need in order to cook etc, we didnt need half the items we took. Thank you so much, we shall definitely be back!
Karen
Perfect location
James
Great place for the humans and more importantly the dog. We had a lovely Xmas here and were extra happy that our dog was happy and secure the whole time. Meant we could relax and enjoy. Especially enjoyed the added extras the owners left us to make it Christmas. Would definitely stay again
Alwyn
We had a lovely birthday break at the farm hut. Although we went in the winter time everything we needed was in touching distance, A lot of thought has been put into this accommodation, with lovely touches.
Shay
We booked the hut for my partners birthday and it was the perfect setting. So perfect in fact that I proposed on our first day so this place will always be extra special to us. The hut was cosy with great views and was super quiet and peaceful. The dogs loved the private garden space and we felt safe letting them explore whilst we hung out in the hRead moreut. Hide
Sally
Really lovely for a short break, just what was needed. Very peaceful and the hot tub is great. Cabin very cosy and surprisingly warm! The enclosed garden meant we could let our dog potter about without worrying about him which is hard to find from a lot of holiday cottages. Very well equipped and will definitely be back, thank you.
Bonnie
Had a lovely little getaway perfect place to relax and unwind and dogs loved it
Janet
Nice clean comfortable hut. Good level of equipment provided, information booklet useful. Would have liked proper height stools or seats for dining table, ones provided were far too low to eat comfortably. Great fenced area safe for dogs. Lovely hot tub.
David
Small but well appointed shepherd's hut in a delightful location. Ideal for a short break in North Yorkshire. The fired up hot tub on arrival was a lovely touch!
Emma
We love this place! We first came in March 2023 and we re-booked straight away for our mini-moon which weve just been on this weekend. We had the best time relaxing in the hut and hot tub. The dogs loved every second as they were free to roam as we knew they couldnt escape. Weve definitely be back very soon!
Nathan
Comfortable and well equipped in a great location
Samantha
We loved staying in the hut last week and our old Bobby Dog adored his doggy holiday. Everything you could possibly need was neatly packed into this compact space and the hot tub was pre-warmed for our arrival! Secluded and beautifully peaceful, it is the perfect hideaway for a few days (but with a great pub just 5 mins drive away) We will defo be back, thank you :) xoxo
Dawn
I would highly recommend this holiday. My husband and I, with our two little dogs had a great time. The hot tub ready for our arrival was a lovely touch, as was the cookies and bottle of prossecco in the fridge. We enjoyed using the bar-b-q, and playing with the dogs in the field. When sitting outside with our coffee in the morning, and early eveni ng we could watch the hares and rabbits playing in the field opposite. All in all a completely relaxing break . Thank you.
Katy
Absolutely loved our stay in the hut! It has everything you could possibly need and was great for our dog! Its so cosy and peaceful, the perfect place to relax. We loved the hot tub which the owners were super helpful of how to get the temperature perfect! We will definitely be returning!
Hannah
Wow what a fantastic stay! Perfect for our reactive dog. We have never felt so relaxed and comfortable on holiday together. For such a tiny place there was a surprising amount of room. We went out on some lovely day trips one was to Richmond (recommended in the folder on site) and lots of local pubs were dog friendly. The only minor negatives were the internet was quite slow and the BBQ could use a good scrub! .We want to try out the cottage next time as we had such a fantastic time! Thank you!
Natalia
Fabulous location if youre after a quiet private stay. Perfect little holiday for the dog with a relaxing atmosphere! We didnt want to leave. Overall perfect stay.
Rebecca
Really beautiful holiday! Nice and quiet so perfect for reactive dogs with plenty of walks around to enjoy. The hot tub was lush and all prepped for our arrival which was perfect after a long drive, would highly recommend and will be going again!
Lisa
We had a lovely couple of days here with our two terriers - the bed was a little small for two "large" adults but we managed - the garden is secure for the dogs and the hot tub was a hit with hubby - attention to detail was excellent and shower was lovely and the hut was warm (once we worked out the temperature gadget in the cupboard). If you want to use the BBQ ensure you get some charcoal as that isnt provided - lovely place to stay and lots of nice places to visit nearby
Wendy
Lovely comfortable and cozy Shepherds hut. It was very cold overnight when I stayed but indoors I was warm and snug. Perfect location for my dog and she loved the freedom to run around in the field.
Carol
Absolutely loved everything about the location would definitely recommend.
Louise
Absolutely perfect! Exactly what we wanted, peace and quiet in lovely surroundings so we could chill out and that is precisely what we did! Will definitely go back it was beautiful.
jennie
Just what I needed for a relaxing rural break. The area is so peaceful it was perfect for my reactive dog to enjoy some calm. The hot tub is amazing once you have mastered your fire building skills, and it's easy to maintain when you've got the hang of it. The hut itself it's beautifully crafted and so incredibly cosy, and very well equipped too. T he owners are very helpful if you need them. Thank you for a wonderfully relaxing cosy winter break
Lynn
This is such a lovely place. We were lucky enough to have had excellent autumn weather and enjoyed spending the evenings in the wood fired hot tub after having an early tea at the Bridge Inn at Stapleton, or the Fox Hole at Piercebridge, both of which are very dog friendly. Its so rare to find this quality of Shepherds Hut with a wood burning hot t ub, which is dog friendly so if like us that is what you're looking for then stop scrolling this is definitely worth every penny.
Sophie
Everything about this place is beautiful, you can see how much effort the owners have put into it by how well it is presented and how well everything is thought out, even down to little treats for the dog. The location is great for a relaxing peaceful break, and Sophie and Keith the owners were so friendly and offered help if we needed it, I would definitely recommend this place and will be returning.
Patricia
We had a wonderful few days staying here, the hut had everything we needed and the hot tub and outdoor space was perfect to really relax. Perfect space for our dog too and really set up to be dog friendly. Could not fault our stay, even when we had a minor problem it was fixed within the hour of contacting the owners. Brilliant stay, fantastic host s and cant wait to book again!
Max
Me and my partner has an amazing weekend with dog. So relaxing, amazing facilities and the best views. Short distances to local shops/supermarkets, very convenient. Sophie was a great host and was there if we needed anything! Thank you!
Felicity
Excellent!! Everything has been thought of. Sophie the owner was so nice in communication. Little welcome goodies was a lovely touch. Lovely enclosed garden .lawned area and patio area. Secure for any dogs with some extras like a ball and treats.Hot tub was glorious and so easy to use. The owners made sure it was hot for arrival. Gas bbq had utensi ls to use.Lovely comfortable bed. Kitchen area had Everything you would need to make a meal from pans to frying pan , knives to plates.
Tracy
The field barn hut is just stunning. If you want a secluded private romantic place to stay , this is the place for you. Its secluded enough for maxium privacy but also close to local shops and sight seeing destinations. Sophie the owner was amazing from start to finish. We will definately be booking again the future.

Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.  The more daring will love the big and thrilling rides such as Raptor Attack, The Ultimate and Trauma Tower.  For the little ones there are some excellent attractions such as Flying Camels, Dodgems and a Magic Wheel.  Toddlers will like the Dragon Boats and the Lightwater Express amongst other things.
