Is South View Retreat 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 Roseberry is designed specifically for couples and sleeps just two guests in one bedroom. This makes it unsuitable for families with children. The romantic setting, adult-focused amenities and intimate size mean this lodge works best as a couples retreat rather than a family holiday base.

A wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere inside whilst the outdoor space includes furniture and a barbecue for alfresco dining. The enclosed decking gives you a private outdoor room surrounded by North York Moors countryside. Everything combines to create an authentic glamping experience with hotel-level comfort.
Pet Friendly
The Roseberry welcomes dogs so your pet can join the moorland adventure. The enclosed decking provides secure outdoor space whilst miles of walking trails start from the doorstep. Roseberry Topping and the Cleveland Way offer excellent dog walks within minutes. The open countryside setting means your dog has plenty of space to explore safely around this pet-friendly glamping lodge.
