The Martha Hut
The Martha hut was made locally, is 18 feet long and contains a double bed, kitchen area (microwave, electric hob, fridge and small Belfast sink), seating and a bathroom with hot water shower and flushing toilet.
There is a hand built oak table and bench seats for comfy reading, playing board games, listening to music or gazing out across the fields, as well as a fold down wall bed which can be lifted to reveal the table and seating area.
Inside the hut there is an electric radiator, heated towel rail and wood burning stove with a supply of wood for you to light. We also provide blankets, robes and a hot water bottle so you will cosy and warm on rainy days and cold evenings.
Outside there is a wood fired Hikki bathtub tucked away for your exclusive use as well as a decked area with table and chairs - the perfect way to relax with a drink of your choice and enjoy the views whatever the weather. You can be assured you will have all the privacy you need.
All essentials such as towels, robes, slippers, hair dryer, shaving point, USB ports, crockery, glasses & utensils are provided - there is a full Inventory in our Guest Digital Welcome Book which you will receive with your booking confirmation email.

Haystacks will consider allowing one small-medium sized dog to join you, providing he/she has good manners and knows how to behave in the countryside where there are many temptations such as livestock, pheasants, squirrels and rabbits.
Please ensure you contact us to obtain approval prior to adding a dog to your booking and note we cannot accept larger breeds or puppies (up to 12 months).
If permission is given for you to bring your dog we require confirmation he/she has up to date vaccinations, this is to keep yours and other guests dogs safe.
We will provide the use of a towel, throw, bowls, treats, LED collar, identity disc (with our contact details), poop bags, shampoo and muddy paw wash - in return we ask that you please respect our lovely hut and do not allow your dog on the seated area or bed.

We have space for parking a short walk away from the hut and provide wheelbarrows for you to transfer luggage from your vehicle to the hut.

We want your stay with us to be memorable for all the right reasons and have carefully thought about the personal touches that we provide for our guest's, we hope you will enjoy them.
Sited on the historic Nidd Valley Railway line overlooking fields and the River Nidd and backing on to our private woodland creating a quiet and peaceful setting whilst being a stone's throw away from country walks, a 5 minute walk from The Station Hotel (our village pub serving great food), a 5 minute drive/ 15 minute walk through the village to The Dale Stores (our award winning village shop, fully stocked with everything you need) or a 20 minute drive into the Victorian spa town of Harrogate your stay can be as tranquil and peaceful or as active as you would like - whatever best helps you to reconnect and recharge.
