Hart Lake Escapes

Five individually themed shepherd huts, each with its own wood-fired hot tub on the lake edge, run by Clare and Andrew with the kind of care that earns return visits.

Hart Lake Escapes sits on the grounds of a historic hunting lodge on the outskirts of York, where five shepherd huts are arranged around a private lake in mature woodland. Each hut takes its own character: The Den runs fox-themed throughout, The Warren has its own personality, The Hollow its own. All five are finished with a precision that makes it obvious the owners thought hard about every detail, from the clear how-to instructions to the locally sourced Yorkshire welcome pack waiting on arrival.

What makes the setup work is the combination of genuine seclusion and easy access. The city centre of York is 15 minutes away, with a half-hourly direct bus from just across the road. You can spend the morning at the huts, the afternoon wandering the Shambles, and be back for an evening in the wood-fired hot tub watching the lake settle into dark. The North York Moors and the coast are both within reach for a day out.

Clare and Andrew are hands-on hosts who meet guests on arrival, run through the hut and hot tub, and check back in. Reviews are consistent on this: the attentiveness is genuine, not scripted. Adults only (18+), so the site stays quiet and unhurried regardless of when you visit.

“The benchmark for shepherd-hut glamping near a city: owner-run with real personality in every hut, a private lakeside hot tub, and York on the doorstep when you want it.”
