  • Q. Can I bring my Dog?

    Sorry we cannot allow dogs or any pets. (but we can recommend some local kennels for your pooch). We do not allow pets as it is detrimental to wildlife (English Nature) and also to young pheasants in other parts of the woodland.
  • Q. Is there a shop on the campsite?

    Not at present, however within 2 miles there are shops for most things you could want including an award winning farm shop and walled garden nursery selling their own grown produce. In season farms close by offer asparagus, strawberries and other produce
  • Q. How do we cook and store food?

    Cooking is on a gas hob, wood stove, or BBQ. Storage is available secure from insects etc, and there is a cool box in the tents with replaceable ice packs.

    The nearest pub is in Stamford Bridge (3 in fact) only a mile away, however the best pubs are a little further afield.

    We do manage the life cycle of biting insects in the summer near the lobby tent, but it is as well to bring insect repellent and repellent candles. (naked candles outside the tent).
  • Q. Is there a laundry?

    No although we do offer a laundry service at extra cost. We also offer for a nominal hire, subject to availability, "mud suits" to protect clothes from the worst of the outdoors.
  • Q. How cold does it get in November?

    That varies, leaves do not come completely off the trees until the last week of November, making it more sheltered. We recorded only 2 frosts in November 08 before the unusual cold snap at the beginning of December.
  • Q. Can we get there without Driving?

    Yes. York Rail and Coach Station is approximately 12 miles away (with very good connections from the South, Scotland and Liverpool and Manchester) A bus from the Station (depending upon what time you arrive, other wise you will need a taxi or bicycle) takes you to Stamford Bridge only 1.5 miles away. As we are in a rural area, any extensive exploration of the area does demand a car, however we do hire bikes and there is a train service to Scarborough, and a bus service to Whitby, Scarborough and Bridlington. We are close to the National Cycle Network route 66 that goes between York and Hull and linking with other routes.
  • Q. I’ve got a very young baby, is that okay?

    We do provide facilities for young ones, such as cots (with insect netting) and high chairs. You might want to think twice about coming with very young ones in early spring or late autumn / winter when the nights can get very chilly.
  • Q. What about our valuables?

    The woodland is on a private estate and not open to the public, the only people are quests, staff and gamekeepers and foresters working the woodland. Keep your valuables with you, as your car, if you bring one, cannot be parked near your tent. It’s still camping so it’s best if you leave the diamonds and laptop at home.
