Morndyke Shepherds Huts

I Have to say that we had a really nice stay at the Morndyke Shephards Huts, some really nice things about it but a couple of things not so good but still enjoyable non the less. I’ll start with the downsides and get that out of the way then move on to what was good about it. The main issue was comfort, “Yes I know it’s a shephards hut” but I still expect a decent mattress, sleep quality was really poor for both of us as a result of this, easily fixed by replacing the mattress with a decent one, I use the word decent as the mattress was really poor and decent would be good enough, secondly make sure you take a travel iron with you as there is no ironing facility on site or in your hut. That said we still enjoyed our stay, The hut had everything that you need (Other than an iron) and the outdoor area was great, we stayed in Flopsy right next to the bird feeding station which was really nice to watch, there is also a fishing lake right next to the huts which is very popular with local anglers and from what I witnessed with good reason just from having a few brief walks around the lake I witnessed Tench, Carp, and decent sized Roach being caught so clearly well worth a visit for fishing alone. their is a small shop on site selling cakes and other nicknaks you might need, but the best thing is you are free to use the washing machine and dryer for free but we popped a couple of pounds in the honesty box when we used it. you can also purchase fore wood for £2.00 a bucket from the carpark but it’s mainly small pieces for the burner in the hut so I recommend buying logs elsewhere for the campfire outside. If you want a bit of a night out we found Thirsk a very friendly place, we visited 5 pubs and the people were very friendly but I would recommend sorting you travel both into thirsk and back before you go. overall well worth a visit at £110.00 per night I think slightly overpriced by maybe £15.00 per night based on other similar breaks we have had this year, but enjoyable overall.

Beautiful hut, would highly recommend staying here. Host communication was unclear, towels and bedding are optional extras but not obvious when booking. Excellent accommodation.

Lovely place to stay, very relaxing
