About Yurtshire Fountains
Set on the doorstep of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Yorkshire Dales National Park, Yurtshire Fountains offers beautifully appointed yurts, each with its own private hot tub – perfect for soaking under the stars after a day exploring the dales. The site strikes a lovely balance between creature comforts and a proper escape, with families and dogs equally welcome.
Facilities are kept simple but essential: good showers, toilets and drinking water are all on hand, though there's no WiFi – which many will see as a bonus. Its location near Aldfield puts you within easy reach of Fountains Abbey and Ripon's charming market square, making it an excellent base for anyone wanting to experience North Yorkshire's quieter corners without sacrificing a bit of glamping luxury.

What visitors say
Loved our two nights at Yurtshire Fountains. The balance between the yurts and the facilities was just right, with some luxury but some off-grid camping. Our 3-year old grandson enjoyed the freedom of the outdoors, the hot tub and the nearby attractions, especially Brimham Rocks. Only quibble was a couple of the solar lighting facilities didn't work. Hope to be back next year!

Our 2-night stay at Yurtshire was nothing short of magical! The peaceful surroundings and cozy yurts made for the perfect retreat to unwind and reconnect with nature. We treated ourselves to yoga classes, which were both relaxing and rejuvenating, and the pizza oven was a fun addition—just be sure to watch the instructional video before, as there's no phone service (but that added to the charm!). The sauna, cold plunge, and the lake were absolute highlights, offering an authentic and refreshing experience. While the sofas on the decking were a bit wet and could use some weather protection, this was a minor issue in an otherwise fantastic stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We can’t wait to return for another peaceful escape! Hopefully in better weather conditions.

Had a much needed 2 night break away from it all! We had a fire pit / BBQ, a pizza oven and a hot tub. What more do you need for a peaceful break. We were ideally located for walks to Fountains Abby and Studely Royal park. Would highly recommend!

We’ve recently returned from a 2 night weekend stay with extended family staying in 2 other yurts. Overall we enjoyed our stay, the hot tubs were a big hit once we managed to control the temperature and the vibe was nice with a fabulous view of the night sky on the clear night we had. The toilet / shower facilities were fine however the images on the site are reflective of the other location so there is a feeling of instant disappointment upon arrival which could easily be avoided (some of the reviews here for fountains are not fountains). Being off grid is part of the appeal but there is a lack of consistency in terms of what works / doesn’t work in way of solar power / lighting. There was a distinct lack of working lighting in the outdoor seating areas for all 3 yurts that we occupied. I’m not sure when the site was setup but it is definitely in need of some TLC so hopefully that happens across the winter.
