Other things to note
🌿 The Enchanted Hut | A Sanctuary Escape Near Whitby

Escape to your own little hideaway in the beautiful North Yorkshire countryside.

The Enchanted Hut is tucked away within the grounds of our plant-based animal rescue sanctuary, home to around 300 much-loved rescued sheep.

Peaceful, quirky and surrounded by nature, it’s the perfect base for exploring Whitby, Staithes and the North York Moors — with the added feel-good factor that the money raised from your stay helps us care for our rescued animals. 🐑❤️

A stay with a difference

Wake up to birdsong, slow down, breathe in the country air and enjoy being somewhere a little removed from everyday life.

Our tiny hamlet of Tranmire sits just off the A171 moor road, making it wonderfully peaceful while still being within easy reach of some of North Yorkshire’s most beautiful places.

Explore the cobbled streets and harbour of Whitby, climb the famous 199 Steps to Whitby Abbey, discover the Dracula connection, wander along the beach or spend the day exploring the picturesque fishing village of Staithes.

Then retreat back to your own little sanctuary hideaway.

🐑 Staying on a working animal sanctuary

Please note that your booking is for The Enchanted Hut accommodation only and does not include access to the sheep, their fields or the working areas of the sanctuary.

Our animals’ welfare and privacy come first, and the sanctuary itself isn’t open as a visitor attraction.

But by staying with us, you’re doing something rather lovely…

Your stay helps support the care of our 300 rescued sheep, including their food, bedding, veterinary care and everything they need to live safe and loved lives.

🧶 Something special to take home

We also use the fleece naturally sheared from our own rescued sheep to create beautiful cruelty-free rugs, wool and handmade gifts.

Some of our handmade pieces may be available to purchase during your stay — simply ask us if you’d like to see them.

Every piece has a story, and every purchase goes back towards caring for the animals.

✨ Come for the countryside.
Explore the Yorkshire coast.
Sleep somewhere a little magical.
And help rescued animals simply by staying with us. 🐑🌿
