Small hut. Big view.

Perched on the banks of the River Ouse in Naburn, just south of York, The Hut by the River is the perfect peaceful getaway.A cosy shepherd’s hut, just for two, in the most idyllic of locations.With bedroom, living space, bathroom, and even a bijou kitchenette for preparing drinks and snacks, the hut is beautifully appointed and deliciously snug year-round - the ideal base for your visit to York or further afield.

Outside

Al fresco breakfast? Morning coffee and a book, wrapped in a blanket? Lunch watching the ducks? All of the above?

Facing west, the hut enjoys spectacular sunsets.

Inside

The comfiest bed. Crisp white linens, and pillows, cushions, blankets and a king-size duvet for extra snuggliness.

Central heating, thick insulation, and a woodburning stove make the hut snug at any time of year.

A kitchenette with everything you need to prepare drinks, snacks or chilled meals.

Just enough space for two and, of course, an integral bathroom with full-size electric shower and loo.

The view

Looking west...

...and north.
