The incredible glamping pods with hot tubs and fire pits hidden inside Bolton Abbey estate

Sometimes you don’t need to travel far to escape reality, and Bolton Abbey is the ideal spot to pack your bags to for a little R&R.

Set just an hour from Leeds city centre on the corner of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Bolton Abbey is where suburban Leeds meets the countryside – and it’s truly stunning.

Spend days wandering through greenery or explore the Dales’ quaint pubs and cafes before putting your head down at one of the most luxurious staycation options around.

Hailed by The Telegraph and Red Bull as one of Britain’s coolest camping spots, Catgill Farm is host to bell tents and timber pods, as well as plenty of camping space for you to pitch up and take in the panoramic views of the Yorkshire Dales as the sun goes down.

The Timber Pods can sleep up to six, and come complete with a hot tub on a private patio, as well as a fire pit, pizza oven and fully equipped kitchen space.

The spot has been racking up some serious views on TikTok too, and it’s not difficult to see why. Exploring the site, you’ll walk through crisp green spaces and wind your way between trees to find your chosen pod. Showing off impressive amenities like innovative pizza oven, slotted inside the fire pit and cosy deckchairs to watch the sunset on, these pods are bursting with character.

Now we all know that British weather can be temperamental (to say the least), so these pods are fully insulated with built in central heating – and if all else fails and it’s blowing a gale outside, there’s cosy blankets and hot chocolate so you can log into your Netflix account and swap a day out for a date night in.

Prices start at £195 per night for two adults, but there’s also an impressive selection of bell tents to choose from too, priced from £165 each.

These come with private patios with hot tubs and fire pits but come with yurt-style sleeping arrangements.

For the full spa home-away-from-home experience, you can add on a spa package, which gives customers luxury robes and slippers; a bottle of Prosecco with ice bucket; chocolate truffles; fairy lights and skincare products like a Sanctuary face mask and moisturiser, as well as an orange and sugar body scrub.
