About Sunset Retreat

This well-presented, glamping pod enjoys a rural position on the south-eastern fringes of the North York Moors National Park. With easy access to the amenities of Scarborough, Sunset Retreat is an ideal base for couples looking to escape to North Yorkshire.

After a day of walking, kick off your walking boots and step into the open-plan living area, collapsing on the sofa after you get the woodburner going. There is a dining area for two, where you can enjoy a romantic dinner prepared in the well-appointed kitchen, housing all the necessities for a short break.

As the night rolls in, retire to the sumptuous double bed and dream about the adventures to come. Awaken from a leisurely slumber with a rinse in the shower room, before preparing a coffee and heading out to the patio furniture for a morning ponder.

You might even be tempted by the luxury of the hot tub, starting the day with a relaxing soak. Get to know the surrounding area as you wander over the neighbouring hills and luscious open countryside, or if you’re seeking a bit more adventure, head to the North Yorkshire Water Park, with inflatable courses, kayaking and paddleboarding, a zip line, climbing wall and wakeboarding as well as the Wykeham Lakes Fishery where you can hook your catch of the day.

If you fancy a night away from the kitchen, head into Scarborough and if you don’t fancy cooking, treat your loved one to an evening meal at one of the nearby eateries, such as El Gringos, for Tex-Mex cuisine, or Lezzet Mediterranean Bistro, for a Mediterranean sharing platter. There's plenty to fill your holiday itinerary at Sunset Retreat.

Sunset Retreat Reviews

Christina
If you love animals and picturesque scenery then this is the place. It's close to Scarborough, Filey and Cayton Beach lovely places to visit and a relaxing hot tub when you return.
Elizabeth
We had a really fantastic and relaxing time away at Riggs Head Farm and would definitely return again. Close enough to Scarborough but far enough out to be peaceful, the property was very well cleaned and maintained and we loved the hot tub and the fire.
Ross Brown
We were returning guests to Sunset Retreat, having last visited in 2023. The high standards we found in 2023 remained in place for our return visit and we had another great few days in the cabin. Its snug, but well appointed and has everything you need for a cosy, relaxing break. The hot tub is amazing and the patio and decking look fantastic too. Great views across the fields and it was so relaxing to lie back in the hot tub, watching the world go by and checking out the stars. We were even lucky enough to be visited a couple of times by a Greyhound called Mick who was a hilarious moocher. The site is well placed for a trip to Scarborough, or even further afield if you are happy to drive. We visited Whitby, Robin Hoods Bay and Pickering which are all lovely, but the council car parking can be a bit steep so park wisely. All in all, we hope to be back again soon and the ow news are fantastic and attentive to any issues. Thanks!
Absolutely beautiful place. The scenery is fantastic, it was amazing to wake up and see the horses and hills in the morning. The cabin was fantastic and so cosy. There wasn't a shelf in the oven, but we only noticed this late at night. I'm sure it would have been remedied if we'd have raised it in the morning. Overall, we had a great time for our honeymoon and would definitely come back.
Absolutely beautiful place to stay fantastic view and very friendly people definitely would like to come back
Really lovely little cabin, just big enough for two people, everywhere was spotless, views were beautiful and the rustic decorations really made it. We both work on a farm so waking up to seeing freerange chickens and horses was so lovely and peaceful, only improvement we could make would be to have a visitor information booklet for how to work some of the facilities e.g dish washer
Lovely little place to stay for couples. Very comfortable has all facilities you need. Hot tub was amazing. Was a really relaxing break loved all the animals around us particularly the black cat ?simba that visited everyday. Very cute. The only thing we won't over keen on was the mattress but wouldn't stop us returning. Highly recommend.
Angela
It was a beautiful setting, and really enjoyed our stay it was a romantic ... It was a beautiful setting, and really enjoyed our stay it was a romantic getaway for our 1st wedding anniversary The accommodation was spotless, and the owners were very welcoming and friendly, we will define going back
Matthew
Absolutely perfect place for a relaxing break. The lodge is beautiful, has everything you need. The place is so quiet and peaceful. Great location for a day out at Scarborough, and a great pub Ye Olde Forge 2 miles away which is a nice walk. Communication with the owners was also good. We're definitely planning to return!
Adelaide
Amazing place to stay, very quiet and relaxing. Beautiful cabin. Owners are very accommodating and friendly. Lovely place to stay. Personally staying in the summer I would like to be able to use the hot tub after 10. After going out for the evening it would be nice to come back and be able to stay in the hot tub past 10pm. Again, amazing place to stay. One thing that would elevate the accommodation, would be a tv outside that you could watch while in the hot tub seeing as music is not allowed.
Daniel
A jewel in your collection an absolute pleasure from the moment we arrived. The accommodation was beyond reproach perfectly situated and positioned for the best views of rolling countryside and wildlife. Best of all the amenities and attractions are a stones throw away in all directions including all tastes of eating establishments. An absolute perfect break with excellent hosts and friendly people all around, hope to return some day.
Absolutely amazing place, was lovely to see the horses every morning, we are definitely going to return. Couldnt fault a single thing, our stay was perfect from start to finish.
We had an amazing, relaxing holiday. Steph and nick were great hosts, so quite and peaceful cant wait to go back
Was by far the best place we have stayed, it was amazing we wished we could have stayed longer but we will definitely be returning. Views are amazing especially the sunset from the hot tub
Our time at sunset retreat was brilliant. It was a beautiful place to stay and everything was very clean. The cabin was very private. The fairy lights all in the cabin and the ones above the hot tube made it so cosy and pretty. The cabin had all the facilities you could need oven, dishwasher, fridge, small freezer and everything was provided towels, hand soap etc. just like if you were staying in a hotel. The cabin had central heating which warmed the cabin up really quickly but there was also a log burner too. The hot tube was amazing very clean and stayed hot throughout our stay so we could jump in without having to wait. Loved how easy checkin and checkout was, just turn up and the key was in the door and leave the key in the door when leaving. The only one thing I would add is if would have been useful if there was some basic instructions for the oven, dishwasher and the buttons on the hot tub. Overall 10 out of 10 and hope to go again in the future . Thank you sunset retreat.
Kathryn
Wouldnt change a thing. Maybe recommend to bring flip flops and robes for hot tub.
Lindsey
All round a lovely stay a well presented and equipt pod. Only thing we would mention but only to flag up to the owners to prevent further issue is that some of the hooks to the curtains are missing which closing them neatly was tricky it didnt spoil our enjoyment!

Betton Farm Visitor Centre - TF9 3PS
about 1 Mile
Betton Farm Visitor Centre is the ideal attraction close to the North Yorkshire coastal town of Scarborough. This animal farm has all the cute farm animals you would expect to see and will appeal to younger children especially.  A great place to both play and learn we think the Betton Farm Visitor centre is great value for money.  Check out their website for the latest opening times and admission costs.  Some of the highlights of the day might include meeting Sofie the Shetland Pony and Henry the goat, as well as the pot bellied pigs called Porky and Hammy. 
Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 2 Miles
If you are enjoying a lodge break in the Yorkshire Moors and Coast then a day trip to the Scarborough Sea Life and Marine Sanctuary highly recommended. This centre is one of the regions most popular attractions and is educational as well as fun. Visitors will enjoy a journey beneath the waves, meeting many strange, beautiful and fascinating creatures of the deep. As well as mighty sharks and beautiful rays guests can get up close to some more common creatures including star fish and can also meet the otters, seals and penguins at feeding time. The site also has children's play area and picnic tables as well as a restaurant and souvenir shop. Family tickets cost £46.80 but the Tourist Information Centres in Scarborough, Whitby or Filey often offer fantastic discounts.
Sea Life Marine Sanctuary - YO12 6RP
about 2 Miles
Located in the Scalby Mills area of Scarborough this makes a fun family day out for those who are interested in marine life. The fantastic ocean tank is well worth seeing - it's been transformed into a Turtle Reef and you can see an amazing array of colourful reef fish and coral. You may also catch a glimpse of the tropical sharks and turtles. Offering good value for money this is a day out with a difference and an all weather attraction.

This attraction is ideal for sunny days as the beautiful park is ideal for wandering out and taking in the scenery.  You can hire boats including rowing boats and canoes to enjoy the views from the water.  The pedalos with the dragon heads are always a popular choice too.

The Grainary Wildlife Farm - YO25 3HS

Located in Harwood Dale Village, North Yorkshire we think this attraction makes a superb family day out and couples will also enjoy the nature walks in the area.  There are 6 nature walks in total surrounding the farm so walkers and lovers of the outdoors will be in their element. Some of our favourite walks include the Spring Flowers, Pond and Village walk which takes around 35 minutes, and the Meadow and Trees walk which takes one hour.
Flamingo Land - YO60 7EW
about 14 Miles
Situated in Malton in North Yorkshire this has to be one of our favourite family days out.  It's a theme park and zoo all in one stretching over a massive 400 acres. With thrilling rides for the very daring like Cliff Hanger, Corkscrew and Kumali, there are also more gentle rides for the little ones such as Frog Hopper and Helitoys.  Family fun attractions include the 4D cinema, the lost river ride and the Little Monsters Den of Mischief. Check out their website for seasonal events which take place throughout the year and you can also gain more information about the zoo.  Flamingo Land is a resort as well as a theme park so you can also book accommodation there.
