  • Working farm site with spectacular views over the Vale of Pickering
  • Less than 30 minutes’ drive to Scarborough seaside town
  • Shepherd’s hut set on top of the hill, surrounded by flat green space
If you’re after sweeping countryside views, easy access to the coast and miles upon miles of outstanding natural beauty, this might just be the secluded North Yorkshire hideaway you’ve been hunting for. Sleeping up to four, accommodation is in a well-appointed shepherd’s hut; its wooden interior comes with a microwave, fridge, kettle and toaster in the kitchen, a bed and pull-out sofa bed, a TV and a woodburner to keep things nice and cosy. In the spirit of keeping things simple, peaceful and back to nature, there’s no entertainment on site at Quarry Farm… just loads of wide open space and those utterly spectacular vistas across the Vale of Pickering – south facing too, for extra basking on sunny days. The huge grassy area surrounding the shepherd’s hut provides kids with more than ample space for football kicking, kite flying and galloping around with the friendly resident dogs. When you fancy a break from the toils of the camping stove and decide you’re done with driving for the day, Ebberston’s local restaurant – a mile away – is a good spot for an evening meal, and a pub is in the village too.

Helen S.

Limmy Lodge 1 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked Lovely little shepherd's hut with absolutely beautiful views. Beds were very comfortable. Shower and toilets were very clean.

Disliked Small critism, i think it could have done with a dustpan and brush in the hut, as it was a damp morning and I would have liked to have a sweep around when the dog came back from a walk.

Limmy Lodge 1 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked All the space around our shepherd hut for my children and dog to run around safely. Nice and clean shower block. Accommodation was very clean and had everything we needed and more.

Disliked Quite a lot of flies, but we were on a farm so can’t be helped.

Shorthorn 1 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked Lovely shepherd's hut. Very well equipped with bed linen, crockery, cutlery, glasses, tea and coffee facilities provided. Double bed was very comfortable. Very cosy in the evenings. Toilet and shower rooms and washing up room very clean with hot water. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely and peaceful with great views.

Disliked The sofa bed is a small double only really big enough for one adult. Could do with another toilet/shower room.

Limmy Lodge 1 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked The views are spectacular. There is so much space. The site is very quiet and peaceful and safe for little kids to just play in the field/grassy area. The toilets and showers are very clean and excellent better than many campsites. The location is fantastic to get to the coast by car in 20 minutes. Lovely villages to explore nearby. The washing up and drying room is clean and well looked after. The hosts are friendly and are on hand if there are any issues but are happy to leave you to get on with it. We will definitely be back.

Limmy Lodge 1 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked Lovely and clean shepherds hut. Amazing views and friendly owners. Only feedback I would give is for a welcome pack telling you where toilets, bins are as I was unable to find the bins when I was leaving. But, apart from that AMAZING & quiet. A lovely place to reset

Local attractions

Stacks of natural attractions and outdoorsy options surround the farm, the first being the Dalby Forest National Landscape around five miles away. As well as all the walking and cycling trails that network the forest floor, there’s an activity centre with paintballing, airsoft, archery, tree climbing, orienteering and low ropes courses. The farm is close to the Howardian Hills, which are crisscrossed by bridleways and quiet lanes for horse riding and on and off-road cycling. The 14-kilometre mountain bike route beginning at Coneysthorpe has splendid views to the north across the Vale of Pickering and beyond towards the North York Moors National Park, and there are options for shorter rides along this route if you opt to use the bridlepaths around it. Pickering’s narrow shopping streets, ancient castle and access to the famed North York Moors Steam Railway are eight miles from base, and the seaside towns of Scarborough and Filey are both within half an hour’s drive.
