Middle Studfold Farm Bed and Breakfast

The smell of breakfast drifting across the farmyard on a cold morning — that's the first thing you notice at Middle Studfold Farm, where camping pods sit alongside proper B&B rooms in a working Yorkshire landscape.

This one suits anyone who wants a foot in both camps: couples after a cosy pod with a real bed, families who fancy camping without the faff of tent pegs, or walkers who'll take either option depending on the forecast. The guest house rooms give you the full farmhouse breakfast experience, while the pods offer that sense of sleeping outdoors with a solid roof when the Dales weather turns. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you've got one in tow.

Campfires need checking when you arrive — they're often a yes on farms like this, but it depends on the season and conditions. Open all year, which makes it a decent shout for winter weekends when most campsites are shuttered. Expect a proper working farm feel, the kind of place where you hear sheep rather than traffic, and where the hosts know the best fell routes before you've finished your tea.
