  • Luxury glamping pods at the foot of North Yorkshire’s Hambleton Hills
  • North York Moors 20 minutes’ drive; Fountains Abbey 35 minutes
  • Hot tubs, bespoke kitchens and bathrooms with underfloor heating
Set at the foot of the Hambleton Hills and with views towards the North York Moors National Park, the luxury glamping pods at Briar Bank Glamping are a splendid pick for families and couples who like the outdoors but prefer cosy luxury to camping in a tent. Tucked into a remote corner of a family-run North Yorkshire farm, the pods have woodland to the rear and wildlife all around – keep your eyes peeled for free-range hens and frequent wild visitors like pheasants, hares and deer as well as chattering songbirds. This is undoubtedly a luxury experience full of creature comforts. The pods each have a private stone patio with a barbecue and seating for alfresco meals. The treats keep on coming too: TVs, mood lighting and ensuite bathrooms with underfloor heating are standard. Private kitchens are equipped with a microwave, combination oven and induction hob, as well as a dishwasher and fridge-freezer. There’s also a private hot tub at each unit, where guests can pamper themselves following cycling or hiking trips through scenic North Yorkshire villages or exploring Herriot Country (15 minutes’ drive) and the Yorkshire Dales National Park (40 minutes). If you’re happy for someone else to do the cooking, there are plenty of coffee shops, pubs and restaurants in the market towns of Northallerton (10 minutes’ drive) and Thirsk (15 minutes).

Cocksfoot 1 bedroom camping pod

Liked We had a lovely few days at Briar Bank. The pod and hot tub were absolutely spotless, and the facilities inside were excellent. There was also a file with all the info we needed for our stay, and the hosts provided a bottle of Prosecco and fresh cakes, which was such a lovely treat. They had really thought of everything, and we had a fantastic stay. I would definitely recommend Briar Bank to anyone who fancied glamping.

Fescue camping pod

Liked Everything! David & Anne were lovely and so accommodating, nothing was to much trouble. The location was stunning, peaceful, tranquil and just what we required. The hot tub was blissful after a long day's adventure, and very well kept and clean. The pod was clean, all the facilities you need, amazing sound system, cosy, warm with ynderfloor heating and comfy. We used the bbq and sat outside enjoying the view!

Liked Loved everything at Briar bank glamping, the pod was huge, well planned out, had everything we needed, the shower was spacious luckily as im not a narrow person, the hot tub was amazing, sat inside on a morning enjoying the view and had a visit from a real life Bambi while there. Me and my partner will definitely be back again.
Thank you David and Anne.

Local attractions

There’s much to do in this rural corner of North Yorkshire. If you’d like to start your explorations with a little culture, head for the dramatic ruins of the 14th-century Carthusian abbey at Mount Grace Priory, House and Gardens (five minutes’ drive). Newby Hall (half an hour) has an exceptional collection of teddy bears and 1920s gardens to discover, while breathtaking Fountains Abbey (35 minutes) has a peerless setting on the River Skell and is next-door to the deer park at Studley Royal (40 minutes). If kids are part of your holiday, there are gentle rides at Lightwater Valley Family Adventure Park (half an hour). Follow woodland walks or watch birds of prey fly at Thorp Perrow - Arboretum and Bird of Prey & Mammal Centre (also half an hour), or lead the kids underground into the intriguing Mother Shipton’s Cave (35 minutes). Keen hiker? The Lyke Wake Walk starts in Osmotherley (10 minutes). Other notable trails within driving distance include the Cleveland Way and the Coast to Coast Walk. You can also scramble up pyramid-shaped Roseberry Topping (25 minutes) for stunning views over the North York Moors National Park.
