Wildlife abounds at this family-run site in East Yorkshire with lakeside safari lodges, yurts and log cabins

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.

Barn Owl Bell Tent-Kingfisher Lakes

Booked 2 times
Bell tent · Sleeps 6
Inside this spacious 6 metre Bell tent you will find a cosy base under canvas to enjoy glamping in the heart of nature right next to our fields.  With two double beds and a pull out sofabed; all with toasty duvets, pillows and bedding provided, this option would suit those who want to feel they are camping but without any hassle of putting up a tent and blowing up airbeds!  There are pretty glamping additions as you would expect such as rugs, cushions, fairylights, as well as a small fridge and electric kettle. You will be close to the shared kitchen barn area where we provide each tent with it's own box of crockery/cutlery; there are plenty of pots, pans and utensils in here too. You may want to bring some extra camping chairs if you have them for sitting outside, although a wooden picnic table with benches is provided, along with a BBQ (so you'll just need to bring your own charcoal).

From the host
Featured in The Telegraph and The Times UK's 25 Best Glamping Sites, Kingfisher Lakes Glamping has become a much-loved family favourite since 2017. The ultimate glamping and kayaking getaway; nestled in between two beautiful lakes in rural East Yorkshire, you will feel a million miles away from it all in this little piece of heaven! Take a look to choose your ideal accommodation to suit your needs and plan your holiday to be as relaxing or jam-packed full of adventure as you wish. This is a small, family-run site close to our working potato farm so you can expect a friendly, one-to-one, tailored guest experience. Fantastic facilities within the shared washrooms and kitchen area make this an easy place to relax and a hassle-free break. Kayaks and firepits can be hired for you to enjoy as and when you wish throughout your stay; they certainly add a bit of magic in the memory-making department! Or perhaps you’re after some real luxury in a lakeside lodge with a sublime log-fired Scandinavian-style hot tub, for all-year round breaks! Couples, young families, older kids or groups... Whichever best describes you, we’re sure you’ll find your happy place here!

The UK City of Culture in 2017 boasts a bustling marina, charming Hepworth's Arcade and the recently regenerated Humber Street. The latter is now a music and arts hub on the site of the historic fruit market where your host family first started selling the farm’s potatoes many years ago!  Other attractions include the numerous museums and galleries, plus the iconic Humber bridge. En route to Hull, the town of Beverley is a lively market town full of stylish, independent shops and restaurants. Home to one of Europe's finest Gothic churches, Beverley Minster (01482 868540) and also plays host to a well known folk music festival every summer (01377 217569), while Skidby Windmill (01482 848405), half way between Hull and Beverley, is Yorkshire's last working windmill and provides tours between 10am – 5pm. Closer to home, the canal that runs through Leven and Driffield makes for lovely walking and narrow boat tours are available.

For a good pub (with massive food portions) try The Dacre Arms (01964 542392).
