Coxons Farm takes glamping up a notch, providing an idyllic home-away-from-home with no tents in sight. Located in the picturesque, sprawling Yorkshire Dales, this small site features just two pods positioned next to each other, making it an ideal spot for small families or couples taking a break away together. This is a prime location for those looking to be pampered campers with scenic sights right on their doorstep — not to mention a popular local pub a stone’s throw away for a tipple or two.
Coxons Farm’s state-of-the-art luxury wooden pods are nestled in the 420-acre land of the titular farm, a family-run affair that breeds lambs and cattle. You’ll be able to get up close with the animals, too, given the pods’ proximity to a field in which the cows graze — enjoy your morning coffee alongside the livestock, fenced off right next to a picnic bench you can use for outdoor dining.
The pods provide cosy accommodation from which to explore the Dales, ensuring a relaxing time no matter the weather with their double-glazed, fully-insulated design, complete with underfloor heating for those chillier nights. You needn’t worry about shared amenities here, with everything included in your pod for a laid-back time, including a bathroom, comfortable double and sofa bed, and a TV — there’s even contactless check-in to further exemplify how little effort is required from guests.
While the views are enough to make many want to stay on-site — there’s nothing quite like opening up your pod door each morning to rolling hills stretching out as far as the eye can see — Coxons Farm is well-positioned for a variety of scenic walks, with some famous tourist destinations only a short drive away. Malham Cove and its auditorium-esque cliff formation is close by, perhaps most recently famous for its appearance in the Harry Potter movies, while you can truly get lost in the Bolton Abbey estate with its gorgeous scenery. Fortunately, if you want to stay much closer to home, you’ll be pleased to learn that you’re mere yards away from the popular local haunt the Devonshire Arms Inn at Cracoe, a really lovely cosy pub with great food, great staff and a focus on locally sourced food. It all makes for an easygoing slice of countryside life, ideal for those who want the kind of views you can only get from camping, without any of the fuss.
