Good morning from The Moorhouse Bothy ⛅️

Jonny's giving you an early look at what a morning at Haystacks normally looks like

The Moorhouse is one of our two larger bothy huts with its own private outdoor space and all the touches that make you want to stay just one more night.

Could you switch off here for a weekend? Someone’s booking your weekend reset right now, beat them to it👇🏻

You don't need a reason, you just need two nights and a postcode 🍃

No itinerary needed. No agenda required. No inbox to check, no alarm to set and absolutely nowhere to be. Just pack light, point the car at Nidderdale and let Haystacks do the rest.

Choose from two handcrafted Shepherd's Huts or two spacious Bothy Huts, each one tucked into the Yorkshire countryside with its own private outdoor bath, wood burning stove and the kind of stillness you forgot existed.

Whether you want the cosy seclusion of Samuel or Martha or the extra room of The Moorhouse or Morrell Bothy, it's all here waiting for you.

Pick your hut and pack your bag. The rest sorts itself👇🏻

Excited to introduce our BRAND NEW HAYSTACKS HEN PACKAGE ✨

We're now taking bookings for exclusive whole-site hen parties and we'd love to host your group 🥂

Forget noisy bars and crowded venues. A countryside hen at Haystacks means total privacy, complete relaxation, beautiful surroundings and a slow vibe that allows everyone to switch off and enjoy themselves.

Our hen package is whole-site only. Your party of up to 8 gets exclusive use of every accommodation on site, meaning no other guests, no sharing and the whole place completely to yourselves.

For £200 per person based on a two-night stay, here's what's included:
🫖 Handcrafted afternoon tea with prosecco & cocktail jugs, served on a long table with vintage china�
🦙 Meet our Alpacas & Highland Cattle for the most unforgettable photos�
🛁 Your own wood-fired outdoor hot tub at each accommodation�
🔥 BBQ firepits & pizza ovens for cosy evenings in�
🧺 Welcome hamper, breakfast ingredients, log pack, towels, robes & spa slippers

We're tucked away in a little village but only about 20 minutes from Harrogate, 50 minutes from Leeds and an hour from York if you fancy a night out, some shopping or a bottomless brunch.

We know hen parties take planning and budgeting, so we offer flexible payment plans to spread the cost whether it’s for the whole group or individuals.

We’re already starting to get bookings for 2027 so have a chat with the girls and get your dates secured to avoid disappointment…

A little update for all guests 🛖

We've recently introduced a £50 Refundable Good Housekeeping Bond on all bookings. Sadly, like many small independent businesses, we've had a few experiences lately that have left us no choice but to protect our huts and the experience of future guests.

The bond is fully refunded within 48 hours of checkout as long as the accommodation is left clean, tidy and undamaged, which we know the vast majority of our guests do anyway.

Returning guests, if you've stayed with us before and would like the bond waived, just get in touch with us and we will sort it.

We love welcoming guests who treat our beautiful place with the same care we put into it. As a small independent site, this will help us keep everything looking beautiful for everyone who stays 🤍

We're always quietly making things better at Haystacks. ✨

The latest addition: new outdoor lighting around The Morrell Bothy. It sounds like a small thing, but it's completely changed the feel of the outdoor space after dark. It’s warm, more ambient and perfect for a late-night tub or a glass of something cold by the fire pit.

This is 9pm here, we think you'll like it…

Your summer itinerary at Haystacks 🌤️

Arrive and immediately exhale. Drop your bags, light the stove and decide the only decision you're making this weekend is which adventure to tackle first.

Fish your own stretch of the River Nidd right on the doorstep. Walk the extraordinary rock formations at Brimham Rocks. Explore the dramatic gorge at How Stean. Say hello to the Nidderdale llamas. Wander round Harrogate and treat yourself to something nice. Round the evening off with a local gin experience. Then come back to your private outdoor bath, the fields and a sky full of stars.

Two nights with endless options and not a single thing to stress about.

Summer stays are almost full. How about a stay?

SAMUEL HUT AVAILABLE THIS WEEKEND 📣

Last minute plans are better than no plans…

Want to wake up here on Saturday morning?🍃

We've got one hut left this weekend, our final availability this month, and it makes for the most perfect last-minute escape. There’s no waiting involved, no overthinking required and when it comes to a Haystacks getaway, nothing to worry about preparing.

Our huts come fully equipped with everything you need for a cosy, comfortable stay including bedding, a kitchen stocked with the essentials and all the little touches that make it feel like a proper retreat rather than roughing it.

Packing is easy when everything's already waiting for you. All you need to bring is yourself, a change of clothes, your fur baby and the willingness to switch off for a couple of days.

Book the hut, pack your bag and we’ll see you on Friday👇🏻

They make the same face when we tell them you prefer a hotel over a hut… 👀
