- 7 Cabins
- Eco-Retreat
Set amongst the rolling greenery and heather moorlands of the eastern Yorkshire Dales, Little Seed Field fits its surroundings like a glove, offering wild glamping in a peaceful corner of a working dairy farm. They have seven snug cabins, nestled amongst boulders, rushes and trees, in an unspoiled landscape owners Joanne and Sean have worked hard to retain; indeed their aim to ensure that 'wild deer, birds of prey and natural flora are disturbed as little as possible' will strike joy into the heart of the eco-conscious glamper.
Inside, the octagonal and individually decorated cabins are surprisingly roomy, featuring beds, mattresses and a small selection of cutlery and crockery. They also have lighting, electrical points and a log stove so you can keep nice and toasty on those chilly Yorkshire evenings. The basic but well-maintained – and heated – amenities building houses wet rooms and a small kitchenette with a kettle and toaster; and you can also source water from the farm's spring or gather wood for your campfire.
We should say that the mobile signal is poor – though that may be why you came in the first place! – but the location is properly rural and remote, with lots of great walks nearby, including along the fabulous Nidderdale Way. After a hard day's exploring the beautiful countryside that surrounds little Seed Field, it doesn't come much better than getting back to your cabin and watching the sunset over the valley below.
