We had a great stay and would definitely go back! The yurt is so beautiful and loads of little extras make it really special. We felt so cosy with the wood burning stove and it was a great place to really switch off. The local pub does great food and you are really close to the beauty of the peak district

We arrived in the middle of a -7C freeze over post massive snow fall. The host was waiting for us in the local pub to ensure we got to our accommodation ok. After a thoroughly warm and helpful welcome he drove us up the farm track in snow and ice to our Yurt. I cannot stress enough the attention to detail and the overall quality of the accommodation. I was celebrating my birthday and will be back every year (at least) if I can! A fantastic place to stay in idyllic surroundings.

We really enjoyed our stay, the hosts were very welcoming and helpful and the cabins have everything you could possibly need, the hot tub was spot on and we would definitely return.

We had a delightful stay in the Shepherds Hut on Uppergate Farm. Not only was the accommodation clean, stylish, homely and luxurious with the addition of the hot tub, but the friendly welcome from Klav and his family alongside his passion for the farm and the animals was a truly special touch. We throughly enjoyed getting stuck in by helping feed the pigs, lambs, and chickens.

Beechwood Shepherds Hut
We spent an enjoyable two night stay at the hut. The hut is not large but is very well laid out and comfortable. The bathroom in particular was excellent. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the pool and sauna were also really good. Communication was good and we had no problem picking up the key. The hut is at the end of a dirt track and is the furthest building from the farm. Walking to and from the farm at night was a little difficult, a powerful torch is recommended and walking shoes if it is muddy.

Beechwood Shepherds Hut
We had a wonderful time. The Shepherd’s Hut was delightful, the Booth’s were great hosts and the location was fabulous. The Shepherd’s Hut was the best we have stayed in, we have stayed in a number, well designed and equipped and very comfortable. Local area had lots to do, we chose to get our fill of Art, so visited the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Salt’s Mill Gallery and the Hepworth Wakefield.

We had a lovely stay at the Beechwood Shepherd's Hut. We were very cosy and warm despite the downpour of rain outside. We enjoyed a walk to the local pub for a delicious meal in the evening and spent the morning soaking in the hot tub appreciating the peace and quiet and nothing but the sound of birdsong.

Beechwood Shepherds Hut
Beechwood Shepherds Hut was fantastic, a lovely relaxing way to start the new year. Although the weather was awful the hut was warm and cosy, the hot tub still got some use and was in a beautiful setting in the middle of a forest. The host provided everything we needed from towels to robes and slippers. There was a hob and a microwave so we could cook basics. The store on site had local high quality produce in which was all delicious and fed us for breakfast. We also made use of the pool and sauna on site which had a view of the farm from the window and was a great way to start the day.

The instructions provided made it really easy to find the farm, the key and the the yurt. From the outside we initially thought the yurt looked older and more weather worn than in the photos. However once we were inside we were so happy with the yurt. It's huge. The underfloor heating and log fire made it a really cosy retreat. We spent lots of time in the hot tub and enjoyed and evening in the onsite pool. The king size bed was very comfortable and the cooking & bathroom facilities were better than expected for a yurt!

Lovely relaxing and romantic stay. The yurt was bigger than we expected and we had a lovely time. Great to be able to walk to The Butchers arms.

It was incredible the whole team were so welcoming. We got produce from the farm shop for our dinners and breakfast. The yurt was clean and tidy and we didn’t want for anything. The hot tub was clean and we really enjoyed the whole experience. We went for my partners birthday and we would go again, they provided a list of local walks that we can do and also laminated maps that you could take as well which we found very helpful.

We had a wonderful time at the Yurt celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. We found everything to be as advertised on the website. The Yurt was comfortable and cozy with great aesthetics and attention to detail. Very professionally and effectively run by the owners who made themselves available should we have needed anything during our stay.

Perfect in every way.
Everyone was really impressed with the standard of accommodation and how pristine every area was. Superb pool;immaculately clean hot tub checked every day,The small games room plus kids’ play room was a real hit but the morning informative animal feed combined with collecting and grading eggs was ,for some adults and children alike,the favourite extra. We stay in self catering rented properties in UK and around the world very frequently for lots of different reasons- rarely has so much attention to detail been made,even rarer to have the added bonus of extras that benefited every generation. We all loved our time there and felt it went far too quickly.
Thank you.

Stayed in Maythorn Yurt for 2 days, very peaceful and relaxing. Well equipped, cosy, spacious inside with king size bed, excellent bathroom, bathrobes, slippers. Did not really use the kitchen much, as ate out instead, but had everything available if you did need to cook. Surrounded by your own piece of woodland with hot tub, bbq, table and chairs on decking. Even fed the animals on the farm on the morning we left, which was lovely.
Big thank you to farmer Steve. Beautiful part of England, and will be back. Holmfirth is nearby too, well worth a visit, for food and a walk

We recently came back from a few days in the beechwood shepherds hut and it was awesome. Very private and secluded, fantastic facilities, bbq, hot tub, exclusive use of the pool in the eves and just the sound of birdsong. If you’re looking for peace and tranquillity this is the perfect place. Fantastic walks nearby too

'Wonderful, relaxed time. Best holiday ever for the children. We were able to step from busy lives into a quiet haven, in a holiday home that far exceeded all our expectations. Loved the swimming pool and hot-tub, and feeding the animals and egg collecting and grading. Just didn't want to leave!!'

'The barn is just amazing. We loved the space and tranquillity…. You have made an excellent job of renovating and fitting out the barn and your attention to detail shows!!'

'What an amazing barn to stay in. You really have made a fantastic job of renovating it. The children loved the outdoor space and the pool and hot-tub was an added luxury which we made use of. Carry on the fantastic work'.
Davies family

Yurt with the wow factor!
'We had a two night glamping break in the Rowan yurt for a special birthday. It was perfect. For somebody who hates camping, a hot tub with fairy lights, underfloor heating, super king size bed, comfy armchairs, fully equipped kitchen and spotless bathroom were just the ticket! Absolutely everything had been thought of, from slipper socks and dressing gowns to champagne glasses, books, board games and homemade bread and jam. Gorgeously cosy on a wet weekend, we didn't even need the log burner on. Fabulous pool which you can have to yourselves, honesty farm shop and lovely welcome from the owners. Beautiful location, less than ten minutes drive from Holmfirth where we had a superb meal at The Whippet and Pickle and enjoyed exploring the shops and cafes. Highly recommended for a weekend to remember'.
