Love at First Sight

Escape to Your Own Enchanted Woodland Hideaway

Hidden amongst 200 acres of beautiful woodland just outside York, The Dreamery Hideaway is a magical retreat designed for couples, families and celebration groups looking to escape everyday life. With just eight handcrafted woodland dwellings, including secluded bothies and charming woodcutter huts, every stay offers privacy, tranquillity and an opportunity to reconnect with nature.

Guests can wander ancient woodland paths, enjoy exclusive access to the award-winning Dreamery Gardens, relax beside a crackling fire and experience the peaceful atmosphere that makes this one of Yorkshire's most unique romantic escapes. Whether you're celebrating a proposal, honeymoon, anniversary, birthday or simply time together, The Dreamery Hideaway offers an unforgettable setting that feels wonderfully removed from the modern world while remaining just 20–25 minutes from the historic city of York.

Romance

Celebrate Love Somewhere Truly Different

The Dreamery Hideaway specialises in creating celebrations that feel personal, relaxed and completely unique. Rather than offering traditional hotel packages, the team works closely with every couple to help create experiences that reflect their own personalities, whether that's a romantic woodland proposal, an intimate handfasting ceremony or a magical weekend shared with family and friends.

Some of the most memorable celebrations have taken place in extraordinary woodland locations, including proposals within the Dreamery Gardens and wedding ceremonies held in the centre of the woodland maze surrounded by lanterns and candlelight. Couples can also personalise their stay with woodland yoga, holistic treatments, private dining, cocktail experiences, fireside feasts and many other carefully selected local experiences.

Your Stay

Handcrafted Woodland Bothies & Cosy Woodcutter Huts

Accommodation is thoughtfully positioned throughout the woodland to maximise peace and privacy. The four beautifully hand-painted Bothies sit amongst mature trees, each individually designed with its own magical character, while the four Woodcutter Huts provide cosy woodland accommodation perfect for couples seeking a simpler escape.

Every stay encourages guests to slow down, switch off and embrace nature, with wood-burning stoves, outdoor spaces, campfires and birdsong replacing busy schedules and constant notifications. With accommodation for up to 40 guests across the entire Hideaway, exclusive hire is also available for weddings, celebrations and private group retreats.

The Food of Love

Rustic Woodland Dining with Yorkshire Hospitality

Food is very much part of the Dreamery experience. At the heart of the woodland sits the Dreamery Kitchen, serving locally inspired dishes, artisan coffees, cocktails and one of the property's most popular experiences — the Dreamery Afternoon Tea.

For celebrations and weddings, guests can enjoy generous slow-cooked feasts served family-style, featuring beautifully prepared meats, seasonal vegetarian dishes and rustic sharing platters. Private dining, grazing boards, woodland afternoon teas, cocktails, fine wines and bespoke catering create relaxed celebrations where great food brings everyone together. Special dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, are all catered for.
