It is positioned within a beautiful lake-side setting offering yurts, log cabins and fishing. At our glamping site, there are no pets (no dogs) or children and it's even a wi-fi free zone. So bring a good book, a pack of cards or a board game, an open mind and a sense of adventure. Our award-winning Yorkshire glamping site is a grown-ups only romantic retreat and is only 10 miles east from the city of York. The self-catering accommodation includes two log cabins and a yurt with a private fishery. Acorn Glade is a designated Local Wildlife Site (LWS) and is set in three acres of wild flower meadow and woodland with a private still-water fishing lake, which can be used exclusively by guests. We are very proud to have been awarded the coveted Travellers Choice 2021 which ranks us in the top 10% worldwide.

My partner and I had the most amazing weekend staying in bluebell lodge at Acorn Glade. From the minute we booked the accommodation, Wendy + Andrew were so helpful and accommodating. Giving us recommendations and ensuring we were kept nice and warm by providing hot water bottles and lots of logs for the log burner 🥰 I honestly couldn’t recommend this place enough, worth every penny, we will definitely be back in the summer to explore more of the lovely local walks and wildlife 🍃🐞 P.s- The alpacas and wallabies are adorable! 😍

Hi Issy, thank you very much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. You’ll be amazed how different Acorn Glade looks in the summer with all the beautiful flowers and trees in full leaf and the bird song is awesome. There are some lovely walks to explore and we have all the details in our library in the Chicken Shed. See you soon.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I honestly don’t even know where to begin… It was absolutely amazing from start to finish! We stayed in Rose hollow, it is absolutely stunning and the view is beautiful, there are no words to describe it, I believe it’s something everyone needs to experience and see for themselves 😍 We went for a row in the boat round the lake, we sat by the campfire, we had a walk round the lake, we met Sydney (the wallaby)… I mean where else can you stay with Alpacas just chilling on the grass at the side of you 💕 Wendy and Andrew are the friendliest people you will ever meet and they honestly can’t do enough for you, they also recommend some beautiful places to eat and things to do, they made everything so special from start to finish and we will definitely be going back ❤️ I would highly recommend this place to anyone that just needs to switch off and take a step back to just enjoy yourself and/or each other to make the most of your time and relax 💕 I would choose Acorn Glade over any 5* hotel/venue anytime, any day as no where can quite give you the experience of peace and relaxation just like Acorn Glade does… The pictures and videos don’t do the place justice, you really do need to see it for yourself, it’s like a secret garden and we can’t wait to return for our 1 year anniversary ❤️💕❤️💕❤️ #secretgarden #inlove #backtonature #tranquility…

An absolutely awesome stay, this one even better than the previous stay we enjoyed in July. Acorn Glade has quickly become 'our place' and for that reason it had to be the place that I proposed to my fiancee. Andrew and Wendy are exceptional hosts and went above and beyond to accommodate this special occasion. The facilities are top notch, the setting is perfect and I don't think you'll find many places on the planet with the same tranquility and natural calm. Love it.

Dave, thank you so very much. We feel so privileged that you chose Acorn Glade to propose. You did it in such a romantic way across the lake and by the swing seat with afternoon tea . We so loved making it special and keeping a secret👏😍 We so look forward to seeing you both again soon.

My partner and I, arrived on the Friday evening and from the get go- it was just perfect. We were met by Wendy (who is just a dream!) and we both instantly relaxed. The location: WOW! Blown away with how stunning, calming and peaceful. The cabin was everything and more. There was nothing else we needed as Wendy & Andrew have endured to make sure it’s all there and accessible. This place was the perfect sanctuary to get away from the craziness of life- decompress and just relax. Tip: Make sure you look up- the sky & stars at night are just magical. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much!

We are always telling ourselves that is why we do this; offering this little slice of the planet to take time out and relax. We so look forward to welcoming you again in the not too distant future. Note it's cheaper to book direct through our website. You can switch off everything at home and come and switch off here too!

There aren't words which can truly describe this space - it's a feeling! A feeling of being home. Of love, care and attention to detail like nothing else. There is a warmth to this space which is an extension of the owners, Wendy, Andrew and Imogen. I left with more than I might have *ever* wished for. Pure magic. I haven't stopped telling people about you!!!!

Hello, Emma, thank you very much. I really think you got it. When we first came to view Acorn Glade that's exactly what we said and felt. Many of our guests are saying the same thing. It gives back, it cleanses and clears your mind. The trees seem to whisper that sense of well being and that the time spent here is priceless. You can leave a gentle footprint and feel at one with nature. By making your booking directly through our website you can save an awful lot too. We really look forward to welcoming you both for a spot of fishing and rest.

Just arrived home from a fabulous weekend at the acorn glade !! This place is so relaxing. The owners Andrew and Wendy are amazing hosts. Very lucky to own such a beautiful place. The animals roam freely which is amazing to see. Wendy and Andrew are happy to sit and teach you everything you wish to know about the animals. We will definitely be returning soon. Thanks for a relaxing birthday weekend. Luke & Jackie

This place is a little piece of heaven, could not fault it. My and my boyfriend absolutely loved it and will definitely be returning. We spent time enjoying the grounds, rowing on the lake, napping in the hammocks, BBQing and foraging for wood for the camp fire (wood is provided but we found this fun). The alpacas roam free and the baby wallaby is so friendly! The owners Wendy and Andrew where so lovely and amazing hosts. The little touches (see pictures) made us feel so welcome. We stayed at Rose Hollow and found it so cosy and the bed extremely comfy. There is a pub and shop walking distance and the city centre is only a 15 minute drive. Can’t wait to visit again :) Ellie & Scott x

Hi Ellie and Scott, thank you for your lovely review. It really describes Acorn Glade, the fact that’s there’s lots to do and you can be busy doing absolutely nothing 😁 is what it is all about. Some ‘you time’ in your own time. To be able to relax surrounded by nature is something very special. We look forward to welcoming you both again.

First of all the owners where so welcoming and inviting! They where so helpful with showing us round and could not of done anything more to help us settle in for our 2 day stay! The yurt we stayed in was very clean and tidy and had everything you need. The toilets and showers where lovely and the kitchen area had everything to made yourself a meal and keep your food and drinks cool! The bed was so comfy and the view over the pond just finished it off! We will definitely be coming back. Feel revived and very relaxed! Also the animals where lovely to meet ❤️ My birthday weekend made special.

We have just come back from our second visit to this stunning location. This place really has everything! Gorgeous lake with a boat. Fantastic kitchen facilities, bbq area and fire pit. The toilet and shower facilities are super clean. The place is owned by the loveliest couple. Wendy and Andrew are so attentive, helpful and friendly. The days were chose were the those of the heatwave! Wendy met us upon arrival with flannels she had put in the freezer for us, which were very welcome after a hot journey! They also have alpacas roaming round which are super friendly and wallabies too! Little Sydney is a superstar. We are already planning our next trip and can't wait to be back again.

W0W we have just returned from a 7 nights stay at this wonderful little gem of a place. Its even better than on the pictures. The accommodation was just great and It was so relaxing and peaceful and just what we needed to re - charge our batteries. The local pub is just a short 10 mins walk away with some loverly walks around the area and easy access by car to lots of places . The owners Andrew, Wendy, Imogen and Bo the dog are a truly wonderful family and could not do enough to make you feel so welcome. An added bonus are the Alpacas,wallabies and the absolute star of the show Sydney who stole our hearts. Karen and Rick x

Oh my goodness, thank you both for choosing Acorn Glade for your well deserved break. You certainly looked rested and relaxed when you left. Now you know where we are and what we are about, we hope to see you again in the not too distant future. Sydney of Melbourne ( the wallaby joey who was left by his mum) is doing really well but misses his Karen cuddles! We really appreciate your time in putting up a review for us. It means a lot. 🤗 see you soon.
