Escape to The Cud Life

A blend of town and countryside, just two miles from the centre of Harrogate

Just two miles from Harrogate centre, The Cud Life is our little slice of Yorkshire happiness.

With three holiday cottages and a 16 pitch campsite, it’s a place to pause and enjoy stunning sunrises and sunsets. You can be assured of an undisturbed night’s sleep due to our quiet site policy of lights out by 10.30pm.

Guests can explore Harrogate and the surrounding Yorkshire Dales countryside with ease (with a bus stop at the end of our farm). We have plenty of suggestions in area with places to visit and events. You can then return to peace, comfort and the kind of hospitality that feels like home.

We look forward to welcoming you!
