Glamping on the Swinton Estate

Nestled in the wildflower meadow at Swinton Bivouac, our Meadow Yurts offer an authentic back-to-nature experience with stunning views across the Swinton Estate and the wider Yorkshire Dales. Perfect for those looking to unwind under the stars, each yurt is a cosy, Mongolian-inspired retreat.

Thinking about a digital detox? Meadow Yurts are electricity-free – perfect for unplugging, escaping screens, and fully immersing yourself in the sights, sounds, and serenity of nature. Whilst our yurts are an off-grid glamping experience we provide battery operated lights which create a cosy atmosphere once darkness has fallen.

Our Meadow Yurts are single-room dwellings, sleeping up to four guests (two adults and two children). They feature a wood-fired log-burning stove, their own private loo, and an outdoor seating area to soak in the surrounding beauty.

The Meadow Yurt field is just a short stroll from the Bivouac Café, individual shower facilities, barbeque areas, and a fully stocked communal camp kitchen. Guests can also enjoy the Residents’ Lounge – ideal for sinking into a deep sofa with a cup of tea while browsing local information – and the communal, wood-fired hot tub.

Sleeping arrangements:

  • Four guests: one double bed and two single beds (suitable for two adults and two children)
  • Sumptuous bed linens and Swinton Estate robes and towels
