Fall asleep to the hush of the woods and the gentle hums of nearby alpacas. 

Book your stay in a luxury woodland retreat at the Darling Woods of May.

Our award winning retreats are nestled between woodland, surrounded by wildflower meadows on a quiet alpaca farm. 

Our retreats are for adults only, secluded and perfect for a romantic getaway for two.

We're just a 20 minute drive to York or  5 minutes drive to the pretty market town of Pocklington.

Curl up with a book in front of the log burning stove or climb in to your king-size bed with luxurious bedding.
Cook in the well-equipped kitchenette or outdoors over the fire pit. Both huts have a modern bathroom with toilet, sink and rainfall shower. Outdoors, you'll find a private wood fired hot tub,  swing seat, firepit, fairy lights & an outdoor table & chairs. 

 Enjoy views of the Yorkshire Wolds and the surrounding woodland and meadows.
