Wenningdale Escapes & Riverside Caravan Park, High Bentham

Picturesque panoramas and golf or fishing on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales make glamping in pet-friendly pods or a self-catering cottage holiday perfect for couples or families.

A peaceful getaway or action-packed adventure lie in wait at Muddy Stilettos Awards 2025 Yorkshire finalist Wenningdale Escapes. The spacious and bespoke pods handmade on the family farm offer a luxe glamping experience for two, whether in a super king or twin beds, while, for families, there are self-catering lodges as well as cottages at nearby sister site Riverside Caravan Park, also with pet friendly options.

The idyllic locations are within a 10-minute walk of the pretty villages of High and Low Bentham with their shops, pubs, cafés and takeaways. Just beyond can be found some of the most scenic areas in the country: the Yorkshire Dales, Forest of Bowland and the Lake District, with picturesque market towns such as Settle and Skipton, which you can reach by train from the local station as well as by road.

Sports lovers can enjoy special stay and play rates at scenic Bentham Golf Course at the foot of the famous Three Peaks, overlooked by Wenningdale’s pods and lodges, while fishing is available in season at Riverside’s on-site lake and River Wenning. Scenic footpaths, waterfall trails, cycling routes, climbing and caving appeal to all ages and on clear nights, far from light pollution, star gazing shouldn’t be missed.

The 1922 clubhouse terrace provides a friendly 19th hole, but you don’t need to be a golfer to call in at the bar, open year round, as well as for breakfasts, lunches, coffee and cake served from Fridays to Mondays until early October. Sunday roasts, pizza nights and quizzes are all popular.

Modern and stylish, all accommodation options provide a relaxed and comfortable home from home, with fast Wi-Fi and TVs including Freeview channels offering unexpected extras. Up to 22 guests can sleep in pods or 38 people throughout the park, including lodges. Parkside Cottage (from 2 – 6) and Woodside Cottage (sleeping 8) can be booked separately or together.
