In a leafy corner of the National Park, on the edge of the vast and beautiful Dalby Forest, you’ll find two holiday hideaways tucked away in a pretty cottage garden in the tiny hamlet of Ellerburn. It’s a magical place to experience dark skies, see the Milky Way and immerse yourself in nature.
Hideaway for a weekend in the shepherd’s hut or garden den at Gumboots & Wellingtons during February. Receive treats to enjoy by the fire pit and a hand-drawn map to guide you on a twilight wander. As the magic starts to happen, snuggle up under warm blankets and wonder at the twinkling star-filled dark sky above you.
Reserve your hideaway stargazing holiday now with this special deal offered in collaboration with the North York Moors Dark Skies Festival 2023.
