Is The Beehive Right For You?

Is this hot tub glamping retreat best suited to couples or families? What standout glamping features and private hot tub can you look forward to? And is it a dog-friendly getaway? Discover if this short break is the right for you.

For Families
The Beehive is not suitable for children as it sleeps only two adults in one double bedroom. The shepherd's hut design features a wood-burning stove and hot tub which require adult supervision. The compact space and romantic setting make this exclusively a couples' retreat rather than a family-friendly property.
Glamping Features
The Beehive combines traditional shepherd's hut living with modern comforts. The wood-burning stove provides authentic warmth whilst the private hot tub sits on an outdoor deck with countryside views. An outdoor fire pit lets you extend evenings under the stars. The compact design maximises space with clever storage and a functional kitchenette. Off-grid elements blend with practical facilities for a genuine glamping experience in the Yorkshire Wolds.
Pet Friendly
The Beehive does not accept pets of any kind. The no-pets policy applies to all animals including dogs, cats and caged pets. This restriction helps maintain the property for guests with allergies and preserves the shepherd's hut interior. Nearby kennels and catteries in the Malton area can accommodate pets during your stay if needed.
