There won't be many of these left for a while.
A babymoon is the last weekend that's just the two of you — and it shouldn't be wasted on a noisy hotel chain or a glamping site full of stag parties. Fieldroot Retreat is three luxury bell tents on a quiet meadow at Barmby Moor, near York. Adults-only. No children on site (yours arriving doesn't count). And the kind of slow that's hard to find when you've got a hospital bag to start packing.
Proper mattress, sheepskins on top, thick duvets. Not an airbed, not a roll-out futon. Sleep when you can still sleep through the night.
Spring, autumn, even winter babymoons work. The stove keeps the tent toasty regardless of the British weather.
Three tents only, adults-only, generously spaced. We don't take group bookings or stag/hen weekends — this is a quiet site by design.
Welcome hamper included. Add a Continental or Full Yorkshire breakfast for two, or a Yorkshire BBQ Box, and there's no cooking needed at all.
Wren is our smallest, quietest tent — "Small. Quiet. Perfect." — and it's the one we'd pick for a babymoon. Intimate without feeling cramped, with all the same amenities as the other two. Pair it with a Slow Morning add-on so check-out drifts to noon and you don't have to rush anywhere on the Sunday.
Yes — shared facilities a short, level walk from each tent. Hot showers, clean WCs, fresh towels. No climbing in and out of the tent at 2am.
The meadow is flat and grassed. Your bell tent is a short, even walk from the parking, and you park right next to it. No steep paths, no scrambles.
Intentionally minimal — that's the point of a babymoon. There's mobile signal for emergencies, and a 15-minute drive into York if you need a proper connection.
Yes — there's a chemist in Pocklington (5 minutes drive). York city has 24-hour options.
York Hospital is 15 minutes away. Pocklington has a local surgery for non-emergencies.
Most guests come at 28–34 weeks. We'd suggest the shoulder seasons (May–June or September) — comfortable temperatures and lighter evenings, but not peak summer heat.
We have to be honest — the site is adults-only because each tent has an open firepit and there are no children's facilities. After your baby arrives we can recommend nearby family-friendly options instead.
