Husk Reviews

Suzanne
We loved staying at husk. Perfect little get away for my partner and I. Beautiful and clean little glamping pod, hot tub and BBQ facilities. What more could you ask for?! Lots of private space for each pod so you can hot tub without being seen by other campers. We will be returning. Thank you xx
Brilliant location superb setup felt right at home and the owners went above and beyond 5 star
Stuart
Fantastic setup, really fit a lot into the small hits. Surrounding area is clean, tidy. Kids loved the games room and hot tub. Very peaceful area of land and close enough to the towns.
Robert
We had a lovely stay the only thing it would benefit from is some sort of roof over hot tub so it could still be used when raining maybe one of the waterproof sun sails or something. We will definitely be back in the future
Lovely quiet, safe site. Very family orientated. The hot tub was pure luxury, the pod had everything we needed and was really comfy. Well situated for Fraisthorpe beach and the beaches in Bridlington. Easy drive to Bridlington Animal Park which was fabulous for the kids. We had a lovely holiday. Thankyou.
Richard
Great glamping pods. Would and have recommended to loads of family and friends. Beautiful spot of Yorkshire and great location. Perfect little relaxation holiday for family and couples. Hot tub was perfect to watch the sun go down. Will definitely be returning soon.
Samantha
We had a fantastic week away here. The staff were so lovely and attentive! The pod was lovely and cosy, clean and quiet. We had full use of the private hot tub from day 1 and my two children loved it. The games room was accessible at all times, we thoroughly enjoyed that. The surrounding area was beautiful too. Plenty to do and see. Beautiful villages and lots to explore. We cant wait to return here, it has been an absolute pleasure! Thank you.
