Crafted for comfort.
Rooted in nature
Bespoke Eco Cabins and Glamping, Designed for Stillness and Simplicity
Discover luxurious glamping in Yorkshire at The Lazy T: a small, owner-built retreat in the North York Moors near Helmsley. We—Katy and Skot—handcraft each off-grid cabin and our canvas dome to the shape of the land, using timber from our own woods and low-impact methods. You arrive down a winding track, cross the stream, and settle into a quiet, comfortable space with good beds, hot showers and a wood burner ready to light.
The Good Life
Luxury here is simple and considered. Wake to birdsong and first light through the trees; spend the day walking from the door or reading by the fire; end it under dark skies in an International Dark Sky Reserve. Come, slow down, breathe out, and let nature do the rest.
Our most spacious forest cabin, designed for unhurried days. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame trees and water, while calm, natural textures and the wood burner make evenings slow and golden. Two decks catch the light from breakfast to sunset.
Cross the little bridge and slip into stillness. Brook is a hand-built, off-grid cabin tucked in its own pocket of woodland, lit by soft mornings and the hush of the stream. Warm timber, thoughtful details, and no rush of the outside world.
A peaceful garden hideaway with every modern comfort. Step through to a west-facing deck, the stream close by and the fire pit ready for long, leisurely evenings. Inside is compact, well-equipped and beautifully simple — perfect for work, rest or both. When you want nature without compromise, choose the Cottage.
Accessible, dog-friendly luxury under canvas, set on a wide raised deck beside the water. There’s generous outdoor space, covered seating for rainy moments, and all the Lazy T comforts inside. Sleep with the sounds of the forest and wake to birdsong. If you’re craving closeness to nature with effortless ease, Creekside is yours.
A wild getaway
Off-grid doesn’t mean going without.
Each space at The Lazy T has been built with care and conscience—crafted using timber from our own land, solar-powered, and fully off-grid without compromising on comfort. Expect luxurious beds, soft linen, private flushing loos, and piping hot showers, all cleaned with zero-waste, eco-friendly products.
Wild land, rewilded life.
Years of rewilding have brought the valley back to life. You’ll be surrounded by trees, native wildflowers, birdsong, butterflies, and the peaceful presence of a truly natural landscape.
And when the sun goes down? We’re a designated International Dark Sky Reserve—one of the best places in the country to see the stars.

Discover the local area
Should you want to escape the valley whilst you’re here, the surrounding landscape is varied and breathtaking. From the rugged moorland that Emily Brontë made famous in Wuthering Heights, to our own Jurassic coastline dotted with fishing villages, cliffs and deserted beaches. Chocolate box market towns and villages so quaint, they look like film sets. Ancient, enchanting ruins drenched in history, round every corner.
