Set between two large lakes, there’s no special prize for guessing how this glamping site got its name. The place is a wonder for wildlife. Resident kingfishers can be spotted by the quietest of campers and herons sometimes appear on the water's edge. The glamping accommodation is even named after some of the residents here, with the Dragonfly Dream Safari Lodge in honour of the colourful creatures that dance around the lakes.
In terms of what’s on offer, the glamping area, located just off a quiet country lane and surrounded by mature willow trees, is well equipped and ideal for groups and families. Comprised of a handful of safari tents and yurts, each abode comes complete with proper beds, warming wood-burning stoves and lighting inside. Each also has access to a covered cooking area and there’s a central, wooden lodge where the toilets, showers and washing-up area are found. If you'd prefer en-suite accommodation, meanwhile, there's a pair of more luxuriously-equipped romantic log cabins overlooking one of the lakes as well as a larger family-sized lodge. All three have kitchenettes, shower rooms and their own wood-fired hot tubs.
While the area is popular with walkers – paths lead directly from the glamping site entrance and deer are often spotted in the neighbouring fields – it’s still the lakes that are most rewarding. You can hire two-person kayaks for a paddle, watch wildlife or simply relax by the water's edge. Further afield, it's a 15-minute drive to the coast where popular beaches are matched by stunning cliff-top walking routes, notably at Bempton, Sewerby and Flamborough.
