Jenny Wren bell tent (hot tub)

Liked: Literally everything! The couple running the place couldn’t do more for us!! We used the BBQ on the first night, the hot tub on multiple occasions and toasted s’mores on our final night over the fire! The sound of the river is sooo relaxing when getting to sleep and i went home dreaming of the bed! We had the best stay and I couldn’t recommend it more.

From the manager: Awww thank you so much Elissa, that's so kind of you taking the time to leave such a lovely review, hope to see you again and please spread the word to you family, friends and work colleagues :-)

Roe Deer yurt (hot tub)

Liked: Our stay at Alum House was just perfect. We stayed in the Roe Deer and everything we needed was thought of. Michelle was a lovely host and met us on arrival to show us around the yurt and facilities. The grounds are really well kept and toilet/shower block is immaculate. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely look at booking again in the future.

Jenny Wren bell tent (hot tub)

Liked: The location was beautiful, it was very clean, it was really quiet, the bell tent was pretty and very comfortable and the hot tub was perfect- there's no WiFi so it's a really great chance to step away from everything

From the manager: Hi Rachael Thank you so much for taking the time to write a lovely review, so kind of you, so sorry you didn't have WiFi, the code was in the tent in the information folder, you should have let me know and I would have helped you. Michelle

Jenny Wren bell tent (hot tub)

Liked: This was like a little corner of paradise. Beautifully quiet, with a soundtrack of just rustling leaves, birdsong and the babbling brook running a short distance behind the tent. Michelle and Glen were lovely hosts, the stone fired pizzas and breakfast baps were delicious. The tent was spacious and nicely furnished. The bed was comfy with lots of extra blankets. The wood fired hot tub was lovely, and the dedicated bathroom for each tent was a nice touch. My only criticism would be the camp beds and sleeping bags provided if there was more than two of you staying didn’t seem in keeping with the standard of the rest of the tent and my kids ended up in the main bed with me, not least for the warmth.

Disliked: Beds and bedding for my children.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Rachael Thank you for your lovely comment and I am so sorry to hear about the children's bedding. I have tried to clearly state that camp beds are provided but children's bedding, fleeces must be brought with you as I do not provide these, the sleeping bags which are in the tent are just extras just in case you need them like the blankets.

Everything.friendly staff, lovely site and fantastic bell tent on a great location.…

Roe Deer yurt (hot tub)

Liked: Everything! The bell tent was beautiful and the site was gorgeous. The hosts are so welcoming and will help you with anything you need. Everything you can think of is already provided. Cooking facilities were great and the huge flasks were fab for morning cuppas. The site is very well kept and the star gazing at night is spectacular. The animals on site are an added extra and we even got to see a deer 🦌. We loved our holiday at Alum house. We visit Whitby every year in the school holidays and this is our favourite place to date. Thank you to Michelle and Glen for a wonderful stay! We will be back :))

Disliked: Nothing!

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Hi Stacey Awww thanks so much for the fabulous and kind review, we really appreciate it....hope to see you next year, we are adding beautiful little call ducks to the collection of animals very soon, the pictures will be added to the site photos, I think Ducky will become Alum House mascot :-) He is so tame and great for the children. Hopefully see you next season :-)

Local attractions

Historic Whitby (15 minutes’ drive) is home to dramatic clifftop abbey ruins, excellent fish and chip shops and loads of indie stores selling jet jewellery – you can also go scavenging on the beach for fossils, or take a boat trip to go whale watching or sea fishing. The dog will be happy scampering over the pet-friendly beach at Robin Hood’s Bay (15 minutes), where there are lots of rock pools to splash around in too. Further inland, Pickering (30 minutes) is the departure point for steam-train rides on the North York Moors Railway. You can also have a Harry Potter moment at Goathland (15 minutes), where the railway station doubled for Hogsmeade Station. In the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, you might like to nose around riverside villages like Glaisdale (25 minutes) and Beck Hole (15 minutes), scale Roseberry Topping (45 minutes) or get on long-distance trails like the Coast to Coast (five minutes to join it at Falling Foss) for spectacular moorland views.
