My partner surprised me for my birthday by taking me to stay in Esmeralda for initially two nights. Letās just say, she didnāt disappoint! It is exactly what I needed, privacy, secluded, calming, everything you could ask for after a stressful few months. The cabin was spotless when we came in, beautiful wooden interior with plenty of storage cupboards, allowing you to keep the place looking cute and homely even if you bring lots of stuff with you. The fireplace was well equipped with instructions, an initial bag of wood and fire lighters+matches. There was extra wood to purchase easily if needed. We also had complimentary cookies! They had organised with my partner to set up a happy birthday sign, a bottle of Prosecco, strawberries and a cake at his request. The bed and bedding was very comfy with plenty of fluffy blankets provided if you need extra warmth. We fell in love with the place and sent an email requesting a third night. She responded swiftly however her email didnāt get through to us (a data problem on our end!) but she was very responsive when we called to ask and absolutely lovely allowing us to stay a third night. The hot tub was fantastic, though it is pretty tough to find a healthy middle between boiling and cold! However that is to be expected for a wood fired tub and was not an issue for us, we werenāt the most experienced either but we managed just fine. We do not want to leave!
The animals are adorable, itās so lovely to wake up and look out the window and see them grazing!
The bathroom is outside of the cabin so if you tend to need the loo during the night bring a torch and a warm coat. It can get quite chilly when you come out of the shower or tub so Iād recommend warming up the inside of the cabin beforehand so you have a nice warm room to dry in.
I couldnāt recommend this place enough, especially if you are a fan of peace, quiet,...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreWe recently stayed for a couple of nights in Esmeralda the showman's caravan at Bramble Hill Glamping Site in Filey, Yorkshire. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway.
The caravan is absolutely beautiful. It has been restored to its former glory and is full of character. There is a wood-fired stove in the living area, which was perfect for keeping us warm on the chilly nights. The kitchen is well-equipped and there is a lovely outdoor dining area.
We loved using the wood-fired hot tub. It was the perfect way to relax after a long day exploring the area. The views from the hot tub are amazing, and we could see all the way to Filey Bay.
We also enjoyed feeding the goats and donkeys on the farm. They were so friendly and loved being petted.
The hosts at Bramble Hill Glamping were incredibly friendly and helpful via the Airbnb app. They made us feel very welcome and were always happy to answer our questions.
We had a wonderful time at Bramble Hill Glamping and would definitely love to visit again. Next time, we would like to stay in the double decker bus.
Here are some of the pros and cons of staying in Esmeralda:

Ā Ā Ā Read moreJust back from an absolutely wonderful escape to Esmeralda the showman's wagon at Bramble Hill. The cutest, cosiest place to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. Absolutely immaculate, beautifully restored interior with all the essentials (and biscuits) waiting for us. Despite the dinky size we had a table to sit at, a sofa to relax on, plenty of storage and a separate sliding door/hatch bed chamber at the end for the best night's sleep ever. We'll definitely bring some food to cook on the outside stove next time too so we can sit out under the veranda for tea. Perfect plot at the top of the field with great views up the coast to Filey and Scarborough plus en suite donkeys! Hot tub was a real treat after walking down the coast to Bempton to see the birds and dolphins and lovely to cool down watching the evening light before heading out for tea. Lots to do in the area for families or old farts like us and it's trips and landscapes like this that make us wonder why we ever bother going abroad. 5G signal if you need it, but just being able to forget about everything in an absolutely timeless corner of simple comfort was such a tonic. Thanks so much to Rebecca and the team, we can't recommend the...
