Welcome to Pheasant’s Roost Shepherds Hut

Our shepherd’s hut in Yorkshire is perfect for a romantic short break all year round. Pheasant’s Roost is a great choice for anyone looking for a luxury glamping experience with its own private log-fired hot tub. We also have excellent eco credentials too so if sustainability is important to you, look no further. Our shepherd’s hut sits in a small paddock and looks out onto open farmland, in the small village of Thorpe Bassett. The village is 5 miles from Malton, renowned as Yorkshire’s Food Capital. We offer holiday accommodation for up to two people. The countryside is perfect for hiking. If you enjoy walking, the Wold’s Way is almost on our doorstep. We also accept up to two dogs, and now have an enclosure to keep them safe.

Enjoy a relaxing short break with a hot tub…

Choose from a 2 night short break or longer; our shepherd’s hut is comfortable, clean, and offers a touch of luxury. There’s a private wood-fired hot tub too so if you’re used to a spa with bubbles then why not try this slightly different experience? We think you’ll enjoy the peaceful experience of soaking in deep, warm water whilst listening to the sounds of the countryside or star-gazing. You can also arrange to have the hot tub heated for the night of your arrival. Just arrive, drop your bags, and take a dip. Logs are supplied for the log burner and fire pit, and we include bed linen and towels as well as tea, coffee, and biscuits on arrival.

Me and my partner had such a lovely stay! Our hosts were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Our Venue was stunning, such a lovely setting, very peaceful and highly recommended for anyone looking to just get away and relax! Would love to go back in the future to see more of the area!

What a fabulous place to stay! Accommodation, location and that hot tub - just perfect (and a 10 minute walk to a choice of two pubs was a bonus)!

We had the best time at the pheasants roost. Pauline was so lovely and helpful and the accommodation was spotless throughout. The hot tub was so lovely and beautifully clean and really easy to use. The views were stunning and everything we needed was there for us. It was the perfect minimoon for us and really well located for getting to York, Scarbrough etc. Would 100% recommend a stay at this lovely little shepherds hut!

Just arrived home from a lovely 2 night stay here. We have stayed in a couple of these now, and this is by far the best. The Shepherds hut itself is really well equipped- like a home from home. The bed is very comfy (2 good quiet, comfy nights sleep) and nice kitchen and bathroom- all a high standard. The location of the place is great- just a short walk to the next village for food and drinks. We went to Pickering for the day also and was a great day out seeing the steam trains. Pauline is a great host. Thank you for a lovely weekend- didn’t want to come home. Ashley & Ben 🙂

I’ve stayed for 2 nights at the Pheasants Roost schepherd hut as a part of my Yorkshire Wolds hike. The bed was cozy and having a small kitchenette (and a fridge) allowed me to cook my meals. Having a hot tub and a comfortable picnic area was amazing and I was able to enjoy the magnificent sunsets there. The location is top notch - a village store is 10 min by feet and you can visit a lavender farm and nice walled gardens. Highly recommend this place!

Great find, lovely clean modern shepards hut set in a quiet location overlooking fields with views towards the Yorkshire moors while sitting in a wood fired hot tub. Everything that we needed was provided for the hot tub,even had bbq utensils. Pauline was friendly making us feel very welcome, even had milk, tea, coffee and biscuits provided. Fantastic meal at the local pub the coach and horses but best to book. Highly recommended this getaway.

Absolutely excellent from the initial enquiry to the moment we left. Everything is just as described - a beautiful, quality, well organised, immaculately clean, supportive and caring holiday cottage. The hot tub is fantastic and we decided to book the Prosecco and ready to use option - would highly recommend this as you can start your holiday the moment you arrive with a real luxury touch. We have a 12 month old pouch and she was made extremely welcome and very well catered for. We used the fencing to make her a big playpen In the shade - a great idea to provide this facility. The garden, the loungers and the bbq were a very welcome addition too. Cannot recommend this Shepards hit enough - it’s brilliant with brilliant hosts too.

If it is chilly outside, light the log burner and get toasty in no time. In addition, when the weather is fine you can relax in the paddock, light the barbecue and dine Al-Fresco on the little patio, bistro table, and chairs.

A warm welcome to all

All guests can be assured of a warm welcome. Whilst we respect your privacy, we live close by and quite often can pop over if you need anything.

We are dog-friendly, so you’re welcome to bring your pet at no extra cost. There are lots of off-road walks minutes from our door. Please ask us if you’d like to use the portable fence. Should you forget your dog’s bed, bowls or towels we have spares available. Malton is dog-friendly – many pubs, cafes, and shops welcome them, which means they can enjoy a short break too!

Shepherds Hut in North Yorkshire Countryside…

We’ve planned our shepherd’s hut to make maximum use of the available space. Our self-catering accommodation has a fold-down table, a mini-fridge, a two-ring hob, and a microwave with a grill. To keep you warm choose from the little log burner or our eco electric heater. Relax and enjoy the views of North Yorkshire farmland whilst you eat. There’s enough crockery, cutlery, and pans to rustle up a great meal.

En-suite shower room…

Our shepherd’s hut has an en-suite shower room with a powerful contemporary electric shower in a surprisingly spacious shower cubicle. Pheasants Roost has a fully flushable w.c. and a compact Belfast hand-basin. There is also a heated towel radiator that provides additional warmth.

Near our shepherds hut…

In nearby Rillington, a pub and a fish and chip shop serve food, as well as a general store and butchers which are about 1/2 a mile away. Public transport is also only half a mile away from our holiday accommodation, so you can start part of the way along the Yorkshire Wolds Way route, stop at Thorpe Bassett for a few nights, then continue to Filey or Hull.

Pheasant’s Roost is midway between York and Scarborough, near the A64 which means that you can easily access local attractions. Want to visit the coast, take in historic York, ride the North Yorkshire Moors Railway to Whitby, wander around Castle Howard or have an exciting day out at Flamingoland? Then our shepherd’s hut in Yorkshire is a great choice for a short break. There are several dog-friendly beaches on the East Coast too.
