Morndyke Shepherds Huts

Beautiful stay.. I will be back!

Beautiful location and Shepherd’s huts I had a fantastic stay at Morndykes shepherds huts. The location of the farm is truly remarkable, offering a perfect blend of tranquility in the open fields, while still being conveniently close to nearby attractions and amenities. It was a delight to experience such a peaceful retreat with the option to easily venture into town. The welcome book was extremely helpful, providing all the essential information about the hut as well as local dining and shopping recommendations. This added a thoughtful touch to my stay. Moreover, the added convenience of the little on-site shop was a great feature, with a range of useful items like firelighters and cleaning products readily available as well as the availability of a washer and dryer. I also appreciated the spare Wellington boots and blankets provided, which demonstrated your attention to detail and commitment to ensuring guests feel at home. Thank you once again for a wonderful experience. I look forward to the opportunity of staying at your lovely property again in the future.

Beautiful hut, would highly recommend staying here. Host communication was unclear, towels and bedding are optional extras but not obvious when booking. Excellent accommodation.

Great find! Wonderful stay with my friend at our 2 dogs, great facilities if you have dogs and very secure for them. It is worth noting that you can not pull your car directly up to the hut to unpack and pack, but it is only a very short walk. Lots of nice walks and secure places for dogs to have a run off the lead. Wildlife in the area is second to non. We walked into Thirsk from the huts and had a lovely lunch and such a pretty town. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be returning.

The accommodation exceeded our expectations. Flopsy was designed and laid out really well, and all done out to a very high standard. The double bed was a decent, surprisingly generous, size and extremely comfortable too. The shower was also a good size and really powerful. The log burner kept the hut really warm, we actually had to open windows one night to cool down! We stayed with our Springer Spaniel who loved it too. It was great that the site area the four huts are located on is fenced and gated so he could explore without wandering off. There was a powerful hose on site which was handy to hose the dog down after a trip to Boltby Forest, which I must say was superb for a long, off the lead walk. There was a lovely outside seating area for each hut with a fire pit. Being Feb we didn’t use it. Would highly recommend booking a trip to Morndyke, you won’t regret it!!

This was our first Glamping experience - aged 70 and 80! Hut was beautifully crafted and exactly as advertised with everything you’d need, just on a smaller scale. Beds comfy, (take great care if you climb up to the single bed), shower powerful and hot, tv and WiFi reception reliable. Location couldn’t be beaten. Views east over open countryside, birdsong, fragrant plantings near outdoor seating areas and wildflower area. Also, not far from some of our favourite walks - West Tanfield, Ripley, and Ripon canal. Also a great selection of pubs and restaurants within half an hour in any direction as we decided not to try the single plug-in hob or grill, as only there three nights. Only downside was nowhere to store our few clothes and groceries we brought as every cupboard and drawer was full of stuff - so clothes stayed unpacked in the shower cubicle and groceries on top of wall cupboard. Finally, I counted 13 soft toy animals dotted about. Cute but overkill I think, especially for somewhere that doesn’t allow children 17 and younger who might appreciate them more.
