Glamping With Hot Tubs in Yorkshire: Five Wigwam® Sites From the Moors to the Wolds

There is a particular kind of contentment that comes from lowering yourself into a bubbling hot tub after a long day on the Yorkshire hills, a glass of something local in hand and the moors turning gold in the evening light. Yorkshire packs an enormous amount of variety into one county, from the wild uplands of the Dales and the North York Moors to the quiet beaches of the East Riding, and glamping with a hot tub in Yorkshire is one of the most rewarding ways to enjoy all of it. This guide walks through the five Wigwam® Holidays sites across the county where a private hot tub comes as part of the experience, so you can match the site to the trip you have in mind.

Why a hot tub suits Yorkshire so well

Yorkshire is a year round destination, and that is exactly why a hot tub earns its place. In spring and summer you can soak under long, light evenings after a day of walking or cycling. In autumn and winter the appeal only grows, because there is nothing quite like warm water and rising steam when the air over the moors turns crisp. A hot tub also turns a simple overnight stay into a proper treat, which is why so many couples and families now search for a hot tub break in Yorkshire rather than a standard pod.

North Yorkshire: coast, Wolds and moors

Humble Bee Farm is tucked between the Yorkshire Wolds and the coast near Scarborough, a working farm with a strong green streak and cosy insulated cabins. A private hot tub makes it a firm favourite for couples and families alike, with the North York Moors National Park and the seaside towns of Filey and Scarborough within easy reach. If you want one site that combines farm life, coast and countryside, start here.

Further inland, Sedgewell Barn near Northallerton offers a genuine escape into the North Yorkshire countryside. The hot tub cabins here are made for slow mornings and starry evenings, with the Dales and the moors both within a comfortable drive for walkers and cyclists.

Nearby, Water Hall Farm near Thirsk gives you a quiet, family friendly farm setting with space, fresh air and a hot tub to come home to. It sits within striking distance of some of the county's best loved walking country, including the White Horse at Kilburn and the western edge of the moors, which makes it a natural fit for an active break with a relaxing finish.

East Yorkshire: big skies and quiet lanes

Over in the East Riding, the landscape softens into rolling wolds, wide skies and quiet lanes, and the pace drops with it. Ball Hall Farm at Storwood, between York and the coast, is a lovely spot for a romantic weekend, with the city's minster, walls and restaurants around half an hour away. Bainton Burrows near Driffield puts you in the heart of the Wolds that inspired David Hockney's landscapes, with the seaside at Bridlington an easy drive when you fancy fish and chips by the water.

Making the most of a Yorkshire hot tub break

The county rewards a bit of planning. Walkers should look at the Dales or the moors and finish the day with a soak at Sedgewell Barn or Water Hall Farm. Families tend to love Humble Bee Farm, where lambing season and farm trails keep children busy while the hot tub waits for the evening. Couples after quiet luxury will find the East Riding sites hard to beat, and if you are planning something special our guide to romantic weekend breaks with a hot tub is worth a read before you book.

Beyond Yorkshire's borders, Springhill Farm in Northumberland makes a fine second stop if you are heading further north along the coast.

What to pack

Bring layers, sturdy walking boots and swimwear, and do not forget a warm robe for the walk between cabin and hot tub on cooler evenings. If you are visiting in autumn or winter, a head torch and a good book make the experience even better. For families, a few outdoor games travel well, since most sites have plenty of open space.

The best time to visit

Yorkshire rewards visitors in every season. Summer suits families and longer adventures, autumn brings the moors alive with heather and colour, and winter offers the coziest hot tub soaks of all. If you are drawn to the colder months, our guide to winter glamping with a hot tub is well worth a read before you book.
