Spectacular views? Check. Luxury interior? Check. Activities and afternoon tea on site? Check. Time to check in to a geodesic dome at The Private Hill on the edge of the Yorkshire Wolds.

The wood burning stove and a fully-stocked minibar will make it even more tempting to stay in bed all day - if you can drag yourself away, there's also an on-site cafe and small shop and a number of great pubs within walking distance.
The price for a two-bedroomed Defender Geodesic Dome costs from £670 per stay (12th – 15th February - three nights) based on two sharing. For further information and to book, visit www.pitchup.com
