Glamping Yorkshire
The new North Star Club is unique glamping, nestling within 500 acres of native English woodland in the peaceful Yorkshire Wolds. Inspired by the legendary American Great Camps and suffused with Yorkshire country style, it blends beautifully into the untamed forest setting. The result is a ruggedly cosy and indulgent woodland escape, the perfect getaway from the pressures of 21st century living. This isn’t a self-catering experience, we have too many great places to eat nearby! We can however deliver a BBQ pack to your suite or you can have food hampers delivered by arrangement.
This is a fabulous place for a romantic weekend break as well family breaks or corporate groups as the accommodation is flexible, with some suites sleeping up to 6 people. This is a British forest holiday with a difference, forget the crowds, over used facilities and boring commercial woodland, discover instead a beautiful native forest with huge bio diversity.
The Club has only 8 private and well spaced woodland suites, decorated in a modern rustic style, these each have a large veranda, cosy sitting room, large bedroom and indulgent spa style bathroom. Close by is The Woodshed, a communal chill out area with an outdoor fire pit and oodles of natural woodland beyond. If you want a unique alternative to a country house hotel then come and break free, slow down and truly unwind – you won’t find a more enchanting place to do it …
North Star Club founders Christian and Carolyn Van Outersterp are multi award winning designers, (Christian a former landscape architect and Carolyn trained in Fashion).

FOOD AND PLACES TO EAT
Yorkshire is famed for its fabulous food heritage and we’re blessed to have a range of fabulous places to eat around the Club. The award winning Star @Sancton (on our doorstep) is a fine local pub run with heartfelt passion by chef Ben and his partner Lindsey. The Star @ Sancton, is just a few minutes’ drive from the Club, or 20 minutes’ walk if you’re keen! They serve delicious, locally sourced food (a world away from “pub grub”) and local micro beers in a relaxed and cosy environment. This fine pub is devoted to sourcing and using local produce and much of it comes from their own allotment garden and orchard. We have teamed up with Chef Ben to offer delicious Yorkshire suppers delivered straight to your suite.
PAMPERING
Why not take advantage of some of our pampering treatments during your stay. You can enjoy a range of treatments in your very own spa style bathroom. Being able to tumble straight into your own bed for a quick snooze, or have a luxurious soak in your tub, makes this a really blissful experience. Ruth is our Beauty Therapist with over 8 years experience working in a Health Spa & Beauty Salon. Ruth is Elemis trained and specialises in Swedish & Deep Tissue Massage and offers beauty treatments and pamper packages using CND & Temple Spa products.
