Sunset over the meadow at Fieldroot Retreat
Just the Two of You

A romantic getaway in the East Yorkshire countryside

Three adults-only bell tents at Barmby Moor, 15 minutes from York. Built for couples who want quiet, candlelight and a fire.

Romance shouldn't require a packed itinerary. Sometimes it's just two of you, a wood-burner, and the meadow going gold at dusk.

Fieldroot Retreat is a small luxury glamping site at Barmby Moor, near York — three canvas bell tents, no children, no dogs, no rush. Designed for couples who'd rather slow down than tick things off. You'll get a private bell tent, your own firepit, a real king-sized bed with sheepskins, and the kind of quiet that's hard to find these days.

In Your Tent

What's included as standard

A real bed, not an airbed

King-sized bed with fresh linen, sheepskins, thick duvets, quality pillows. Set up before you arrive.

Wood-burning stove

The heart of the tent. Lit easily, holds the heat for hours, and turns a rainy evening into the best one of the trip.

Welcome hamper

Yorkshire tea, coffee, milk, local jam, butter, artisan biscuits, marshmallows and matches — already inside the tent when you arrive.

Firepit + BBQ + outdoor seating

Yours, not shared. Add a Campfire Kit and a Yorkshire BBQ Box at checkout for a properly easy evening.

Romantic stay FAQs

How far is Fieldroot Retreat from York?

About 15 minutes by car. We're at Sand Lane, Barmby Moor — just off the A1079 between York and Pocklington.

Is there parking?

Yes — one car parks right next to your bell tent. No long walks with luggage.

Do you cater for non-romantic stays too?

We do, but the site is intentionally adults-only with three tents and a quiet ethos — it suits couples better than groups. No children, no dogs.

What if it rains?

A canvas tent in the rain with a wood-burner glowing is one of life's underrated pleasures. We promise you won't mind.

Can we bring our own food and drink?

Absolutely — BBQ, kitchenette in the tent, your own meadow to picnic on. We also offer optional breakfast hampers, a Yorkshire BBQ box and afternoon tea as add-ons.

What's the minimum stay?

Two nights, on any day of the week — we don't force a Friday–Sunday booking pattern.
