The Old Library Shepherd's Hut with Hot Tub, on the edge of the North York Moors

This adult only escape is perfectly placed, over the road from the North York Moors National Park, with spectacular views of the iconic National Trust Roseberry Topping and Guisborough Forest.
Ideal for the Cleveland Way or Coast.
Surrounded by countryside, you can fully immerse yourself in nature whilst being a mere 5 minute drive from the busy market town of Guisborough and quaint village of Great Ayton.
The heart of the countryside...but with the option of an uber into town and a takeaway!

The Old Library at Roseberry Retreat offers a truly enchanting experience. With antique books, vintage globes and ornaments adorning the walls and a cosy armchair by the fire to snuggle into a good read, you'll feel like you've stepped into another world.

This hut is modelled on the traditional Shepherd's huts of the 19th Century but is equipped with all the luxuries of the modern day: a king size bed, two armchairs by the fire, a fold away table and chairs, kitchenette (including gas hob, small fridge/freezer, kettle and toaster) and private ensuite shower room & toilet.

Outside is your private two person wood fired hot tub underneath the pergola to enjoy the incredible night skies! We offer a hot tub pre-lighting service for a small charge, so you can arrive to a warm hot tub! Just let us know in the messages if this is something you're interested in.

One parking space is provided next to the hut, with solar lighting marking the space, all bed linen and toiletries are provided for your stay.

Unfortunately, this hut is not dog friendly - but we do have three dog friendly huts on site - check out The Captain's Cabin, The Potting Shed & The Birdwatcher's Hide!

This is an adult only retreat, we are therefore unable to accept bookings of children under 18, apologies! Whilst we do love children and have our own, there is a stream which runs along the field which is not fenced off and therefore not safe for little ones.

From the road, you will turn onto a private driveway, this is shared with us, our neighbours and guests of the site, so please take care when turning in/out.

There is then a private gravel track for Roseberry Retreat leading down the field to the huts, this will take you to your private parking space beside the hut.

There is a gravel area at the front of the hut for you to use, as well as a paved patio area under the pergola.

We offer self check in, for ease and convenience for our guests. We know some people like to come here to escape from the busy world and prefer the quiet, peace and flexibility this offers.

We are based in the farmhouse on site, so are almost always available, should you need anything at all. We would love to pop down and meet you during your stay - if this is something you would like.

We will provide a phone number for you and we will try to respond as quickly as possible - please note this is also our family home, so we may have a little one with us if/when we come down to assist with anything :) this also means that unless it is an emergency, we will be available until 7pm most days.

There are four steps up into the hut itself and three steps into the private hot tub.

Children are unfortunately not allowed.

This hut is not dog friendly.

There is no TV or WiFi provided at the huts, we find it has good phone and internet signal, but we hope you enjoy the digital detox while you're here!

We have six huts on site which are cleverly positioned at least 20m apart to make you feel like you're the only ones here!

We are surrounded by working farmland, which means that on occasion there are sounds and smells which are beyond our control!
