The Quirky Tour

Key Points

Retreat to a woodland with your friends and enjoy an off grid stay in a beautiful 200-acre woodland with unique fairy trail a few miles east of York. Each hut sleeps 2+2 guests thus offering a wonderful break for 8-16 people to reconnect with nature and each other.

The huts are generous in size and offer a cosy stay with woodburner. Each one has a king size double bed and a double sofa bed with bedding included.

Outside they have a spacious deck area with large awning, ideal for dining al fresco on the picnic bench, plus a kitchen shed with 2 ring gas hob, coolbox and BBQ.

There is an amazing handpainted bath house just a short stroll away with each hut having its own dedicated shower or bath and toilet. There is a plug socket in here in case you need it for charging your electronics, however it is highly recommended to enjoy a digital detox whilst here.

Next door you can find The Northwood Trail; Englands Fairy and Hobgoblin Sanctuary. This wonderful off grid attraction including the café / bar Northwood kitchen, and renowned fairy museum has recently won the best magical experience in 2022!

Woodland activities are great fun and can be organised half an hour away.

When it comes to eating and drinking, this fabulous woodland kitchen and bar is just a short walk from your hut and offers a great choice of drinks including woodland cocktails. You can also enjoy a continental breakfast or light lunch here too. This is truly an experience not to miss and is magical when it is lit with fairy lights aplenty. Also whilst here you can naturally enjoy a sport of forest bathing, a simple way to restore your body and mind.
