Had a gorgeous stay, lovely attention to detail. We stayed on a cold and rainy weekend and we couldn’t have been warmer with the fire on! It was perfect. Communication... read more was easy, we needed extra logs and the hosts were straight down with them. They told us we could check out later the next day which was a nice addition! Highly recommend and would stay again. Thank you 🙂

This place is absolutely stunning, sets a lovely mood and is so stylish. The placement being on a farm with alpacas is so wonderful as you get an extra special... read more treat by being able to feed them! Jess provides us with marshmallows and drinks which she really didn’t need to do so it was an extra special touch that we really appreciated. You will not regret going here!

We have no words to describe how amazing this place is! From the minute we arrived (even in torrential rain!) we were in love. Off grid, cosy yet with everything... read more you need, alpacas, sheep and chickens.. what more could you ask for! The pizza package was fab and highly recommended and my ex-chef Fiancé adored cooking anything and everything on the grill! We honestly didn't want to leave and are already trying to figure out when we can come back! The hosts were amazing and the location was just perfect!

This was our second visit to Sand Villa Grill Hut. It was even better then we remembered, my partner and I loved it so much last year that this year... read more he chose it to propose to me there. The Grill hut is such a magical, fairy tale stay, complete with all the amenities you need for a glamping holiday. Located in a beautiful part of the country. We would highly recommend hiring the pizza oven for the evening as this provided great entertainment and food at a very reasonable price. We used the bus just outside the site to get to Lancaster and had a fab time there on the second day, the bus was quick and easy to use. We can’t wait to book again next year. Thank you to Jess and Lee for being such wonderful and friendly hosts.

This is an incredible place to stay. Absolutely magical. You won't regret staying here. The check in was simple and easy, amazing communication from the host, Jessica. Spent two... read more evenings here, and it's two nights we won't ever forget. The alpacas and other farm animals, that can be hand fed, really add a special touch to this place. Seriously, if you're thinking about staying here, just do it.

We have 3 unique glamping experiences for you and your families, each unit is set within its own private area and all units have electric, heating, private toilets/showers and much more.
You might want to get back to nature in our Scandinavian style grill hut, which hosts an indoor fire pit for cooking and entertaining.
Or for a little bit more luxury book into one of our 2 pods and enjoy an outdoor hot bath looking out at the alpacas.
With a great communal playing space in our field for the children we hope you can sit back relax and enjoy switching off.
