Sand and the City - Holiday Lets in York and the North Yorkshire Coast

12/09/2026

The season isn’t over yet, in fact, this is when glamping gets really good 🍂

September and October at Gennell House Farm are all about slower mornings, quieter pitches and evenings spent wrapped up warm beneath the changing skies.

Rain on canvas, a wood-burning stove ticking away with pizza and smores. The countryside looking completely different as autumn arrives, it’s just where you need to be. Because summer might get all the credit, but autumn does the work 🌙🍁🍂✨

There’s something rather special about climbing into a cosy bell tent as the temperature drops, lighting the stove and settling in while the rain falls outside.

So if you’re looking for a few nights away as the seasons change, don’t put the tent away just yet 🍂 Autumn glamping is waiting for you. Book your stay at Gennell House Farm and experience the countryside at its cosiest.

🚂 Imagine waking up in the North Yorkshire countryside and watching the Flying Scotsman steam past. That’s one of the little moments you can experience when you stay at Gennell Farm in Flaxton.

✨ Cosy luxury bell tents
🏕️ Spacious camping & touring pitches

And when the Flying Scotsman makes its journey between York, Scarborough and beyond, you could have a front-row countryside view from the farm.

You don’t need to travel far to feel a million miles away. Whilst staying with us, if you love everything about trains, you can take a trip into the city and visit Monk Bar Model Shop 🚆 what they don’t know about trains really isn’t worth knowing.

🌿 Book direct via the link in our bio for our local rate.

Gosh! Look who’s in York!

Just had quite possibly the nicest table of guests in so far this year. Polite, engaging, remembered all the staff names. Always a pleasure to showcase the Whippet to lovely guests.

It was made even better that one of them was this big guy, not the the one that looks like , the other one - that’s actually THE Jason Momoa Man.
