The flying scotsman on the grosmont to pickering line

Luxury glamping 15 minutes' drive from Whitby and Robin Hood's Bay
In the North York Moors National Park; small dogs welcome
Woodburning stove and hot tub for each unit

This is a wow of a luxurious glamping spot in the peaceful North Yorkshire hamlet of Littlebeck – Alum House Glamping certainly knows how to sort outdoor breaks in style. On this secluded site, each luxury unit is pitched in a peaceful corner of the grounds, and none are overlooked, so your luxury retreat really is totally private… These smart accommodation units all have electricity and are heated by woodburning stoves (with log packs available on site for an extra charge). Linen is provided for the kingsize beds (which have luxury mattresses of course), and there are private kitchen and bathroom facilities for each unit. And while all of this is very handy, it's surely eclipsed by the presence of your very own hot tub… A good soak in the hot tub is an excellent way to start your evening on site, and perhaps after that you'd like to enjoy an outdoor meal or get cosy and look up into the skies to watch the stars coming out. And finally, a couple of house rules: small dogs are allowed (for a small daily charge) but must be kept on a lead at all times as the owners have chickens. Please do not allow them inside the units if they are wet, as they're likely to create a mess if they shake themselves down.

Jenny Wren bell tent (hot tub)

Liked: Literally everything! The couple running the place couldn’t do more for us!! We used the BBQ on the first night, the hot tub on multiple occasions and toasted s’mores on our final night over the fire! The sound of the river is sooo relaxing when getting to sleep and i went home dreaming of the bed! We had the best stay and I couldn’t recommend it more.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Awww thank you so much Elissa, that's so kind of you taking the time to leave such a lovely review, hope to see you again and please spread the word to you family, friends and work colleagues :-)

Great glamping break to get away from it all.

Jenny Wren bell tent (hot tub)

Liked: The location was beautiful, it was very clean, it was really quiet, the bell tent was pretty and very comfortable and the hot tub was perfect- there's no WiFi so it's a really great chance to step away from everything

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Rachael
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a lovely review, so kind of you, so sorry you didn't have WiFi, the code was in the tent in the information folder, you should have let me know and I would have helped you.

Local attractions

Historic Whitby (15 minutes’ drive) is home to dramatic clifftop abbey ruins, excellent fish and chip shops and loads of indie stores selling jet jewellery – you can also go scavenging on the beach for fossils, or take a boat trip to go whale watching or sea fishing. The dog will be happy scampering over the pet-friendly beach at Robin Hood’s Bay (15 minutes), where there are lots of rock pools to splash around in too. Further inland, Pickering (30 minutes) is the departure point for steam-train rides on the North York Moors Railway. You can also have a Harry Potter moment at Goathland (15 minutes), where the railway station doubled for Hogsmeade Station. In the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, you might like to nose around riverside villages like Glaisdale (25 minutes) and Beck Hole (15 minutes), scale Roseberry Topping (45 minutes) or get on long-distance trails like the Coast to Coast (five minutes to join it at Falling Foss) for spectacular moorland views.
