About

Springwood Shepherd Huts Glamping York

The property offers a single shepherd hut type — the Suffolk Shepherd Hut — designed for two guests, with a king-size bed, heating, and a fireplace. It’s a peaceful, adults-only setting with no pets allowed.

The site is surrounded by countryside and home to chickens and alpacas that guests can feed with the owner. Each stay includes thoughtful touches like fresh eggs and milk, and the property provides a BBQ and fire pit for outdoor evenings. Free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, and self-catering kitchen equipment are all included.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Adults-only and no pets — This is a couples-focused retreat — children and pets are not accommodated, so it’s not suitable for families traveling with kids or animals.
  • Single hut type — Only the Suffolk Shepherd Hut is available, so room choice and flexibility are limited.
  • Fairly compact space — As a shepherd hut, the interior is snug and suited to short stays or couples who don’t need a lot of room.
  • Check-out is 10:00 — An early check-out time requires planning, especially if you have a late start or want a leisurely morning.
