Special Offer

Check into one of these luxurious cedar-clad glamping pods for the ultimate countryside getaway. Surrounded by the hills, farm animals, fresh air and clear night skies at Boustagill Farm, on the border between North Yorkshire and Lancashire.

Green Top pods Two Acre Bit and Buckhaw Brow each have their own covered hot tubs with jets and LED lights. Both offer accommodation for two adults on a handmade wooden bed and up to two children on a small double sofa bed with memory foam mattress. Two Acre Bit boasts beautiful Joules bedding, and Buckhaw Brow features stunning Orla Kiely bedding. Their private shower rooms, with key code access, are only a few steps from the pods and offer limitless hot water showers. Bliss! For added relaxation, free WiFi is available and each pod has a Smart TV and Netflix for those times you wish to snuggle up with your loved ones.

There is a stunning view from the pods to the hills around and to make the most out of your relaxing break there are fire pits, wooden deck areas, a wood-fired pizza oven for hire, indoor cooking facilities and an outdoor barbecue. Your stay includes a trug of kiln-dried logs and kindling for your first fire.

The Hub, next to the car park, is a unique sheltered social space for guests to relax, socialise and enjoy the views. That's where you'll find the wood-fired pizza oven, seating, lounge area and tables, festoon lighting and heaters. Gather round a tractor-wheel fire pit and toast marshmallows while taking in the stunning views. There's also a Little Laundry with washer, dryer and ironing facilities and a basket of outdoor games.

Challenging trails and footpaths and the Yorkshire Dales, the Forest of Bowland and Gisburn Forest surround the farm, perfect for explorers by foot or by bike. There is a secure bike storage building, bike repair stands, a bike wash and other helpful facilities for cyclists. The charming town of Settle is just five miles away and has a great range of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, and an excellent supermarket. The picture-postcard villages of Clapham, Ingleton and Malham are within easy reach, for those wanting to venture away from the farm.
