About Hart Lake Escapes
A peaceful adults-only retreat near York, Hart Lake Escapes offers five ensuite shepherd's huts – The Nest, The Roost, The Hollow, The Den, and The Warren – each with its own private hot tub. Guests consistently praise the cosy, well-equipped interiors and the site's tranquil atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a day exploring the city or the North Yorkshire countryside. Pre-ordered meals (the lamb tagine gets special mentions) add a touch of luxury, while the welcoming owners provide attentive service and thoughtful touches throughout.
A regular bus service into York makes this a convenient base for car-free visitors, and with WiFi on site and year-round opening, it suits both off-season escapes and summer breaks. The no-pets policy helps maintain the calm, couples-focused vibe – ideal if you're after a proper retreat rather than a family campsite.

What visitors say
My husband and I had the most amazing few days away at this gorgeous place. It was so quiet and peaceful just what we needed. The hosts were really welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They have thought of everything to make our stay perfect. We had a great day in York which was really easy as there’s a bus stop just outside and only takes about 20 minutes. Thank you so much we will definitely be back in the future. Chris & Pam

Just got back from a 2 night stay in the Hollow. Fantastic peaceful setting, and perfect location to venture out, we caught the bus into York for shopping, lunch and cocktails! Andrew and Clare are the perfect hosts and have thought of everything, a lovely welcome pack and a nice touch of choosing to buy in fresh cooked food so we didn’t have to go out or think about cooking! We opted for a slow cooker meal, desserts and cheam tea all were very tasty 👏🏼 Nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

We had the loveliest stay at Hart Lake Escapes – such a special little find just outside of York 🤍 It was our first time staying in a shepherd’s hut and it completely exceeded expectations. The space was so thoughtfully set up – cosy but still had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, without ever feeling cramped. You can tell a lot of care has gone into the details, from the interiors to the overall layout of the site. The standout feature for us was definitely the wood-fired hot tub. It made the whole experience feel extra special, especially in the evenings – there’s something so relaxing about being out there surrounded by nature after a day exploring York. The location is also ideal – peaceful and tucked away, but still only a short drive into the city, so you get the best of both worlds. Overall, such a cosy, unique stay and perfect for a weekend escape. Would 100% recommend if you’re looking for something a little different from your usual hotel stay ✨

A little piece of heaven! Perfectly equipped with everything you need, really comfy bed, and the location is so peaceful. Falling asleep to the sound of water, and having your morning coffee under a canopy of trees is honestly magical. Wish we never had to leave! The hot tub overlooking the lake is such a lovely addition. Great communication from the hosts, and nothing is too much trouble for them. Loved having the option to order evening meals! Already planning to come back.
