The clang of the old forge has long faded, but the stone walls hold that same solid Yorkshire welcome — step inside and you're somewhere built to last, somewhere that knows how to keep the cold out and the warmth in.

This is a proper guest house with a handful of camping pods tucked alongside, so you get a bit of both worlds depending on your mood. Perfect for couples after a cosy base, walkers who want a real bed after the moors, or anyone testing the camping-pod waters without fully committing to canvas. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you've got a four-legged companion in tow.

It's open all year, which tells you something about the shelter and the welcome. Campfires need checking on arrival — they'll let you know what's possible depending on conditions and where you're pitched. Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so best to ask directly what's included with your pod or room. The vibe leans toward tucked-away and traditional rather than bells-and-whistles glamping — a good honest stopover with history in the walls.
