Fern Folly

About this property

Fern Folly is a characterful pet-friendly pod set on the outskirts of Whitby in North Yorkshire. Offering an inviting base for a couple or small family keen to explore the North York Moors National Park, complete with a hot tub and sweeping countryside views. Pull in nearby and step straight into the open setting, where Fern Folly sits tucked into a quieter corner of the park, giving the sense of being pleasantly removed from the everyday. Steps guide you up to the secure, gated decking, a raised outdoor space that encourages you to linger, take in the view, and make the most of time spent outside.

Inside, the curved wooden interior shapes a studio-style layout that feels easy to move through, with the living space unfolding naturally as you enter. A leather sofa near the doorway offers a natural place to settle, whether that means dropping your bags, stretching out after a long walk, or switching on the Smart TV as evening approaches, and it folds down to provide sleeping space for one child, with guests bringing their own bedding or sleeping bag. The kitchen sits close by, where green fixtures sit neatly against a wooden worktop and the oven, hob, fridge, toaster, and kettle invite you to stock the fridge with favourite treats, try out a new recipe, or prepare something simple to enjoy together.

A fold-out table with stools provides a relaxed place to sit, eat, or plan the next day’s plans. The small double bed is positioned within the open layout, offering a restful spot to unwind as the day draws to a close, while the shower room completes the interior with a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, ideal for washing away the day before settling in for the night. Outside again, the decking quickly becomes the heart of the stay, with seating and the private hot tub both enjoying elevated views across the surrounding countryside, making it easy to soak, sit back, and watch the light change across the landscape.

Guests also benefit from exclusive gated access to The Stables bar and restaurant within the park, which is dog-friendly and offers a convenient option for food and drinks nearby, while Whitby, the North York Moors National Park, and the nearby coastline provide plenty to explore. Choose Fern Folly for laid back days, outdoor soaking, and time well spent in North Yorkshire.

The seaside town and port of Whitby lies at the mouth of the River Esk in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire.
