You wake to the creak of farmhouse floorboards and the low calls of sheep on the North York Moors — this is proper Yorkshire farming country, where the hillsides roll away toward Rievaulx and the moors stretch wide and wild.

Cold Kirby sits on the edge of the national park, and Garbutt Farm offers both traditional guest house rooms and a camping pod for those who want a roof but still fancy sleeping close to the outdoors. It's a good bet for walkers tackling the Cleveland Way, couples after a quiet moorland base, or anyone who prefers a farmhouse breakfast to wrestling with tent pegs. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you've got one in tow.

The setup is simple and honest — this is a working farm first, a place to stay second, so expect genuine Yorkshire hospitality rather than spa facilities. Campfires need checking on arrival, and because it's open all year, you could feasibly wake to frost on the heather or summer light spilling over Sutton Bank. Just you, the moors, and the kind of peace you can't fake.
