South View Retreat

This collection of quirky two-to-four-person lodges are nestled among the rolling green hills of Great Busby, in the North Yorkshire countryside. With nature all around, and a truly bespoke glamping experience, this is the perfect place for a rural retreat for a couple or small family wanting a peaceful getaway in nature.

There are some fantastic naturally gorgeous locations nearby, making this site ideally located for people who want to explore the North Yorkshire coast. You will be greeted at the end of the day with a comfortable and stylish place to rest your head, before heading out again in the morning for another fun-filled day of adventure.

The site is surrounded by the unspoiled countryside, making this a wonderfully tranquil setting for an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. There are plenty of routes to walk through the incredible woodland close to the site, which makes for a relaxing and escapist day out in nature.

For a more luxurious experience, the site offers spa and beauty treatments for guests. Have a proper pampering by booking a facial treatment, a manicure and pedicure, or a massage. This is the perfect way to indulge in the luxury on offer and feel completely de-stressed. Guests can also book a yoga session, which takes place outside, so the countryside views create the perfect idyllic backdrop for the ultimate relaxation.

The pods have been designed with both comfort and style in mind, and each pod has its own quirky and unique architectural design. The interior is framed with a picture-perfect view of the rolling green hills, and this in addition with the open plan living and kitchen area creates a generously spacious feel.

This allows guests to easily spread out and situate themselves for a longer stay. The furnishings are homely and cosy, meaning guests can easily relax and settle in. There is an en-suite shower in the pods, as well as a hot tub outside on the wooden decking. Guests can also sit at the picnic bench outside, which is a great place to soak in the sun on a hot day. Kildale, Leven, Ayton and Carlton lodges sleep two, which is ideal for a couple. The Roseberry sleeps four and is the perfect size for a small family.
