Overview of Angrove Country Park
Angrove Country Park is a luxury lodge resort near Great Ayton in North Yorkshire, set across approximately 70 acres of rolling countryside between the North York Moors and the Yorkshire coast, view more parks for caravan and lodge holidays in the North Yorkshire Moors here.
The park combines hot tub lodge holidays with distinctive couples' accommodation, family lodges and luxury glamping. Current holiday accommodation ranges from one-bedroom retreats for two to four-bedroom lodges sleeping up to eight, together with geodesic glamping domes designed specifically for couples.
Every current holiday accommodation choice has its own private hot tub. Selected lodges go considerably further, adding covered outdoor kitchens with Big Green Egg barbecues, pergola-covered dining areas, outdoor showers, cold plunges and other wellness features.
Accommodation is spread across two distinct areas. The Oaks has open countryside views towards Roseberry Topping and is close to the restaurant, playground and adventure golf. The Woods provides a more secluded woodland setting and includes some of the park's newest outdoor-living lodges and glamping accommodation.
The G&Tea House provides breakfast, lunch, evening meals and drinks, while the Terrace Bar opens seasonally. Families can use the free nine-hole adventure golf course and outdoor playground, while dog owners have an enclosed agility area and dog wash.
Angrove also works particularly well for visitors who want to combine the North York Moors with the coast. Great Ayton and Stokesley are close by, Roseberry Topping is only a short drive away and Saltburn-by-the-Sea can normally be reached in approximately 20 minutes.

The Woods or The Oaks: Which Part of Angrove Should You Choose?
The two main areas of Angrove provide noticeably different surroundings.

- parking close to selected lodges

This area works particularly well for families and guests who want easy access to the main park facilities.

- private hot tubs

Park Facilities at Angrove Country Park
Angrove combines a small but useful selection of on-site facilities with a countryside setting designed around lodge holidays.
The G&Tea House, adventure golf, playground and dog facilities provide plenty for a quieter day without changing the relaxed atmosphere of the park.
The G&Tea House
The G&Tea House is Angrove's main restaurant and social venue.
It serves freshly prepared food using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients where possible.
Current dining includes:
- breakfast
- lunch
- evening meals
- desserts
- drinks
The drinks selection includes beers, wines, spirits, cocktails, soft drinks and a particularly broad choice of gins.
Indoor and outdoor seating is available.
Terrace Bar
The outdoor Terrace Bar opens seasonally and according to weather conditions.
It provides drinks in an outdoor setting overlooking the park and works particularly well during warmer evenings.
Adventure Golf

Clubs and balls can be collected before playing.
It is designed as a family activity and is conveniently positioned close to the playground and restaurant.
Children's Playground
The outdoor children's play area includes:
- swings
- slide
- climbing equipment
Its position close to the main facilities makes it easy to combine with food or adventure golf.
Dog Agility Area
The enclosed dog exercise area includes a selection of agility equipment such as:
- tunnels
- ramps
- hoops
- hurdles
This gives dogs a dedicated place to exercise away from the accommodation areas.
Dog Wash
A dog wash is available for cleaning pets after countryside walks.
This is particularly useful given Angrove's proximity to Roseberry Topping, woodland and the wider North York Moors.
Walking from the Park
Angrove's countryside position allows guests to begin local walks without always driving first.
Routes lead towards Great Ayton and Stokesley, while the much wider walking network around Roseberry Topping and the North York Moors is only a short drive away.

Places to Visit Near Angrove Country Park
Angrove is particularly well located for combining the western edge of the North York Moors with villages, woodland and the North Yorkshire coast.
For a Local Village: Great Ayton
Great Ayton is only a short drive from the park.
The village sits beside the River Leven and has:
- independent shops
- cafés
- pubs
- restaurants
- riverside walks
It is also closely associated with Captain James Cook, who spent part of his childhood in the village.
The Captain Cook Schoolroom Museum and local memorials provide an easy way to explore that connection.
For a Classic North Yorkshire Walk: Roseberry Topping
Roseberry Topping is one of the most recognisable landmarks in this part of North Yorkshire.
Its distinctive summit rises above the surrounding countryside and provides extensive views across the Cleveland Hills and towards the coast.
Several routes approach the summit, including walks through Newton Wood.
It is a particularly good choice for a half-day outing from Angrove because it is so close to the park.
For Woodland Walking and Cycling: Guisborough Forest
Guisborough Forest provides:
- waymarked walks
- cycle routes
- family trails
- picnic areas
- play facilities
- woodland scenery
Its mixture of easier and longer routes makes it suitable for families as well as more active visitors.

Saltburn is approximately 20 minutes away.
The Victorian seaside town combines:
- sandy beach
- historic pier
- cliff tramway

For History: Mount Grace Priory
Mount Grace Priory contains the remains of one of England's best-preserved Carthusian monasteries.
Visitors can explore:
- priory ruins
- reconstructed monk's cell

Whitby provides a very different coastal day from Saltburn.
Visitors can explore:
- Whitby Abbey
- historic harbour
- old town streets
- beaches
- boat trips
