Beautiful location just at the edge of a small village in easy walking distance with a village pub that serves great food. Everything you need is included whether you need to stay inside or outside the only thing was that at this time of year we couldn't really make use of the outdoor facilities even though blankets were provided because it was pretty bloody cold Which isn't a criticism of the facilities just a statement of fact.

“Private-homely and unique!”

Beautiful location the Goats were so friendly and funny! Had lots of facilities wasn’t short of anything +++ see you again in the near future!

“A lovely break in a lovely part of the country”

Its size and location.

“Wonderful”

Simply beautiful, calm, quiet, and relaxed. It's close enough to Helmsley, a picturesque village, just a couple of minutes away, but far enough to avoid the many visitors drawn there. For me, it was the proximity to the NCBP as I was attending the raptor fair, which, by the way, was incredible. The Shepherds hut was wonderful, just right for a solo traveller like myself or a couple. It is clean, well looked after, and the host is fantastic. If you are a nature lover, this is the place for you, I spotted red kites, buzzards, rabbits, deer, owls, and many other small birds and lots of butterflies. There is an area outside where you can bbq or just relax and if there is a chill in the air there is a nice chimney style burner out there

“Wonderful relaxing break!”

This is the perfect little shepherds and has everything you need for a few days away and a break from it all. The view from the hut is beautiful and the outside space is also just lovely. I really enjoy spending time in Yorkshire and this area is great with so many things to do and endless places to visit. This was my second visit and I will definitely be back! The hosts are super nice and just make the whole experience a pleasure.

This is the 2nd time I've stayed at Bellwether and it won't be the last time, which says it all. Amazing place, great view, great peaceful location but so close to Helmsley, and really friendly hosts.

“bellweather shepherd's hut”

everything we could have needed in accommodation. owner thought of everything. would definitely have a return visit.

“Amazing find, will return!”

Loved everything about this place, as did my 6 year old. Such a peaceful location and really close to the village of Helmsley where there were nice shops and restaurants. Had everything we needed and more, along with some nice welcome touches including tea, coffee, hot cross buns and chocolates! Easy to find and access and great communication from the hosts too. Warm, safe, secure and peaceful, will 100% be returning.

“Perfect cosy getaway and very friendly.”

The host was very welcoming and very lovely during our stay. The property itself is cosy, comfy and very clean. The parking was secure and private. Would highly recommend.

Location and facilities excellent

“Very relaxing and very comfortable accommodation with everything you need to unwind.”

This was an amazing place to spend a few days away from it all. Bellwether is a beautiful shepherds hut in a lovely location with unbelievable views and surrounded by wildlife. It is also super cute inside and everything has been done to such a high standard and it's just so comfortable. I was there on my own so the space was perfect for me and I had such a nice time. It's also very accessible and there is so much to explore in the area. I can't wait to go back!

“Romantic, cosy, tranquil retreat.”

Cosy and functional, everything you need. Loved the log burner, chimnea outside with BBQ to use. There was also some lovely goats as neighbours ☺️ we will definitely return ❤️

Clean, well equipped and lovely view and peaceful

“Cosy, Cute, and Gorgeous Scenery”

The welcome pack was a nice touch with crisps, marshmallows to toast, tea and coffee, milk and juice. Amazing views over fields and hills, and watching hares a few metres away. The resident sheep and its goat friends behind the hut. Very friendly and helpful owners. The hut had everything we needed and was toasty warm. The wood burner was easy to light, there was underfloor heating, and in case that wasn't enough, the owner had thoughtfully supplied a heated throw and a hot water bottle! We absolutely loved it!

“Loved it”

Everything, the hut is well kitted out and ready for everyone. Everything is clean & Fiona was lovely. The view, area and village were all perfect. We'll definitely be back!
