Life is noisy.
Phones buzz, calendars fill up and somehow even weekends become another thing to tick off the list.
It’s no surprise that more and more couples are swapping busy city breaks and packed itineraries for something much simpler: a slow escape.
At Prospect House Farm, we see it all the time. Guests arrive tired, often saying they “just needed to get away for a couple of days”, and leave feeling refreshed, reconnected and already planning their return.
The funny thing is, they rarely say they did anything extraordinary.
In fact, it’s usually the opposite.
The beauty of doing very little
For years, holidays have been about squeezing as much as possible into a short amount of time.
Breakfast reservations.
Tourist attractions.
Restaurants.
Timetables.
Queues.
But somewhere along the way, we’ve forgotten that rest is productive too.
Many of our guests tell us that simply slowing down was exactly what they needed.
A morning coffee watching the sunrise.
An evening in the hot tub listening to birdsong.
Watching deer wander along the woodland edge.
A glass of wine under dark skies.
The things that sound simple often become the moments people remember most.
Most people arrive with plans and leave having done far less than they expected, and enjoying it more because of it.
You don’t have to travel far to feel far away
One of the biggest surprises for our guests is how quickly life starts to feel different here.
We’re just a few minutes from Scarborough and within easy reach of Whitby, Robin Hood’s Bay and the North York Moors, but it still feels like you’ve escaped from everyday life.
You can spend the day exploring if you want to.
Or not.
That’s the beauty of it.
There is no pressure to have a plan.
The quiet starts to do its job
We often hear guests talking about the wildlife.
The deer.
The owls.
The bats at dusk.
The birdsong in the morning.
The stars overhead.
These aren’t organised experiences or attractions.
They’re simply part of being here.
In a world where we’re constantly stimulated, reconnecting with nature can be surprisingly powerful.
Sometimes the best entertainment is doing absolutely nothing at all.
Why couples are choosing slower escapes
We regularly welcome guests celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, first trips away together, or simply taking a much needed break from busy lives.
The common theme is always the same.
Time together.
No rushing.
No planning.
Just being.
The art of being lazy
At Prospect House Farm, we’ve built our glamping experience around one simple idea: the art of being lazy.
That doesn’t mean doing nothing for the sake of it.
It means giving yourself permission to slow down without feeling guilty.
To wake up naturally.
Spend an hour in the hot tub.
Take an unplanned walk.
Actually read a book.
Stay in your pyjamas a little longer.
Because sometimes the best holidays are the ones where nothing much happens at all.
And somehow, that’s exactly what you needed.
Ready to slow down?
If you’re looking for a break that feels easy from the moment you arrive, our adults only glamping cabins offer a quiet space where couples can switch off, spend proper time together and enjoy the art of being lazy.
No pressure.
No schedules.
No rushing around.
Just space, quiet and the chance to slow down.
Sometimes doing less really is the whole point.
