A single shepherd's hut for two in a paddock looking out over farmland at the foot of the Wolds, on the edge of Thorpe Bassett. Two dogs stay free, and the owners keep a portable enclosure of about four metres by five for use in the paddock, plus spare dog towels, blankets and bowls on request. The hut has an en-suite shower room, a log burner, a kitchenette and a wood-fired hot tub outside. The Yorkshire Wolds Way is a couple of miles south up the brow and Rillington is about ten minutes' walk for the nearest shop.
Photos, a sample menu and prices, any room details and the venue’s own house rules will appear here once the business claims this listing. Until then, what you see above is what we’ve checked and verified ourselves.
Claiming lets you add all of that and reply to reviews in your own name, right underneath them. £12.99 a month, no contract, and it never changes the verdict — the stamp stays ours.
A two-bedroom self-catering cottage sleeping four, run by the same owners as the shepherd's hut on the same site at Thorpe Bassett. The point of difference for dog owners is the garden: their own listing says it has a secure fence, which is rare in this part of the Wolds and worth a lot if your dog cannot be trusted off a lead. Two dogs stay free of charge. There is a private hot tub and a three-night minimum stay.
Thorpe Bassett is a single street with a church and a few farms, and the walking all goes south onto the wold. This round leaves the village on Water Lane, a public bridleway, follows it down past the last buildings and then climbs the bridleway up Thorpe Bassett Brow to about 100 metres. Across the wold top it meets Keld Lane, the narrow metalled lane that the Yorkshire Wolds Way itself follows on its way down to Wintringham, and drops north-east along it before a field bridleway runs back west into the village. The climb is gentle by Wolds standards, only about 60 metres in total, and the lane section is almost traffic-free.
Nobody has written one for Pheasant's Roost Shepherd's Hut. If you have been with the dog, you would be the first — and the first review is the one everybody reads.
