    “We have had a Lovely stay at The Hideaway, it was a lovely hut with plenty of home touches and had enough facilities to ensure we had a lovely stay.”

    It was close to nearby villages and towns for basic shopping or for going for a day out. Alan and Helen were very accommodating and made sure we had what we needed to have a nice stay. It was perfect for us and is perfect for long or short stays it is in a lovely area which is quite peaceful and has plenty of animals around which is a bonus for us :)

The property

Thornton-Le-Dale 8.7 miles.

Nestled at the head of a beautiful valley in the North York Moors National Park, bordering the Dalby Forest and National Trust hiking spot of Bridestones lies this endearing abode, The Hideaway, Shepherd's Hut.

A rustic, bespoke, truly romantic dwelling, compact with just enough for a charming, self-catering break, this holiday hut is ideal for couples looking to relax and let the world momentarily disappear.

Boasting stylish décor, a toasty woodburning stove, as well as convertible tables, foldable chairs and foldaway beds that serve to maximise the use of the well-presented living spaces.

The perfect walking, cycling and touring base, the national park, coast and country are all within reach; you can find world-class mountain biking routes from the doorstep in Dalby Forest and the surrounding moorland and forest trails for the cyclists, and Bridestones, Hole of Horcum and Blakey Topping for the walkers in your group.

Alternatively, take advantage of the beautiful surroundings and relax by the stream where you may see the occasional kingfisher, or even woodpeckers, cuckoos and turtle doves in the spring and summer, watch birds of prey from the forest escarpment, or wander up the lane to the moors.

This bespoke shepherd’s hut was built by artisan craftsmen using local materials, with a romantic feel fit for a couples’ retreat.

Inside, find a surprisingly spacious unit, with a stylish décor and compact features making use of the space, including a foldaway bed and convertible table, foldable chairs and mobile storage boxes.

Rest in the full-size double bed and freshen up in the dramatic, tiled shower room, complete with a rain-head shower, copper basin and state-of-the-art eco composting toilet.

On arrival, you will see off-road parking near the hut, along with a garden area home to a tripod fire pit and barbecue and a sink, perfect for alfresco dining in the warmer months.

Enjoy photography, painting, wood carving or engraving on the site, or simply unwind amongst the natural beauty and wildlife or indulge in a good book if the rare-breed sheep and donkeys in the nearby fields aren’t stealing your attention!

A scenic drive will lead you to a good selection of country pubs, while the chocolate-box village of Thornton le Dale has lovely shopping and dining including tea shops, gift shops, ice cream parlour, general shopping, along with a model village and Matthweson’s Vintage Car Museum and Auctions, now famous on TV as Bangers & Cash.

Next stop is Pickering, home of the famous NYM Heritage Railway between Pickering and Whitby travelling through Newtondale, Yorkshire's own Grand Canyon, and calling at Goathland home of Heartbeat.

The market town of Helmsey is also within reach from your holiday hut, as well as the seaside resorts of Whitby and Scarborough for a day in the fresh sea air.

If you can manage to tear yourself away long enough, why not explore some favourites including Robin Hoods Bay, Sandsend or Rievaulx Abbey?

Once at The Hideaway Shepherd's Hut why would you want to leave!
