Crafted for comfort. Rooted in nature
Bespoke Eco Cabins and Glamping, Designed for Stillness and Simplicity
As the sun rises over the North York Moors National Park, the morning mist fades to reveal one of Yorkshire’s best-kept secrets: The Lazy T.
Far from the city, down a winding track, lies this handcrafted retreat, nestled deep in the valley and wrapped in nothing but wild nature.
The Lazy T is a small, soulful collection of off-grid cabins and a glamping tent, each one uniquely handcrafted by us, the owners, in direct response to the forest and stream it calls home. Every space has been thoughtfully designed to honour its surroundings—shaped by the curves of the land, the quality of light, and the sound of flowing water. Tucked beside the stream and immersed in wild nature, each retreat is a quiet, comfortable sanctuary. Here, luxury means space to breathe, time to slow down, and everything you need—nothing more.
Whether you're curling up with that book you've been meaning to start, foraging for your supper, cooking over open flames, or simply doing nothing at all, The Lazy T is a place to find stillness. To hear only the owls, the crackle of the fire, and the steady trickle of water as it moves through the valley.
We believe in simple pleasures, deeply felt—and in the right place, they become unforgettable.

a wild getaway
Off-grid doesn’t mean going without.
Each space at The Lazy T has been built with care and conscience—crafted using timber from our own land, solar-powered, and fully off-grid without compromising on comfort. Expect luxurious beds, soft linen, private flushing loos, and piping hot showers, all cleaned with zero-waste, eco-friendly products.
Wild land, rewilded life.
Years of rewilding have brought the valley back to life. You’ll be surrounded by trees, native wildflowers, birdsong, butterflies, and the peaceful presence of a truly natural landscape.
And when the sun goes down? We’re a designated International Dark Sky Reserve—one of the best places in the country to see the stars.

Location
Tylas Farm, Helmsley
Should you want to escape the valley whilst you’re here, the surrounding landscape is varied and breathtaking. From the rugged moorland that Emily Brontë made famous in Wuthering Heights, to our own Jurassic coastline dotted with fishing villages, cliffs and deserted beaches. Chocolate box market towns and villages so quaint, they look like film sets. Ancient, enchanting ruins drenched in history, round every corner.
