We have an abundance of amazing walks on our doorstep including being on the Coast to Coast, Cleveland Way and Lyke Wake Walk trails to name a few. We are a small and tranquil site located only 5 miles from the market town of Stokesley and 13 from the Market town of Helmsley. We have the perfect location for a quiet and stress free break, where you can enjoy the countryside and tranquility. Whilst your here you may see some of the wildlife, lapwings, deer, curlews and owls to name a few. Grab a bottle of wine and sit out on the decking when its dark and do some star gazing, the dark skies here are amazing and a must see. We are a short 25-30 minute drive away from the coast at Saltburn which miles of stunning beach, the best fish and chips and if your feeling too full after to walk back to the car just jump into one of the cable carts back up the hill. Please note there is a small minimal charge for the use of the shower. This supports the Eco ethos of the pods and helps us preserve water. The pods are priced accordingly taking into account this cost. Please ensure that your bring some change with you.
