“I found the yurts at Swinton Bivouac to be a wonderfully cozy retreat, with the communal kitchen surprisingly well-equipped and the private toilets a definite plus. The setting near Masham is ideal for exploring the surrounding moors and woodlands, and the communal hot tub, especially pre-heated, proved to be a genuine highlight for enjoying the outdoor setting. It's clear that a lot of thought has gone into creating a comfortable, family-friendly escape that encourages exploration of the estate's many natural and curated attractions.”
