Bivouac is a well-established design company based in Holtby, just a few miles outside York. Kate Pettitt, Bivouac's creative director, has over 20 years of design industry experience and has worked on jobs throughout the UK. She works with a network of talented and creative associates to produce high quality, imaginative design solutions.
I just wanted to say how impressed I've been with your whole design process, this has easily been the best piece of design work that I've commissioned and it has been a pleasure working on it with you. You have taken a complicated set of information that we needed to get across and applied great design to it, resulting in a really clear, easy to use, yet comprehensive guide. You've given great attention to detail, always been willing to make changes where they are needed and turned things around quickly.
Please note that Bivouac is not currently hiring or offering student placements/work experience. Where possible and appropriate, meetings will take place remotely, via Zoom or similar. If visiting the studio, I am currently accepting up to four people at a time into my studio space. You will be required to use hand sanitiser, retain sensible distance, and wear a face mask/covering unless medically exempt. If it's a nice day, meetings can take place outside in the studio's garden area, or just down the road at the local farm shop cafe.

We got married at Swinton Bivouac last month and had THE BEST time. It was so beautiful, and such a relaxed yet luxurious environment. The staff were all wonderfull and we didn't want for anything. We stayed over in the Yurts along with other close family/friends and loved them - so cute and cosy with the log burners on. And all of us being there on site the day after for amazing breakfast in the cafe and games in the field followed by a big family BBQ was the best way ever to spend our first day as a married couple. We would recommend a wedding here to any outdoor enthusiast, and will definitely come back here for future holidays.

Yurt was well equipped and in a superb setting, however, only in warmer times. We were unlucky as it was about -2 and absolutely freezing cold. We must have used about 2 wheelbarrow loads of logs on the burner which only lasted an hour at a time. The Yurt fire alarm started at 3.45 in the morning and finally stopped at 6! Have no explanation as to why! Facilities are really good, staff wonderful but could only cope with one night.especially with my 84 year old mum! It is an experience.

What an amazing stay. Middle of Feb with no electric? None needed, cosy warm wood burner, candles and hot (gas) shower. Cooked ourselves full English breakie and other meals and old school entertainment up playing cards, Scrabble, Cranium and Twister - no TV for 4 days! Just quality family time. Oh did I mention the woodfired hot tub? Romantic once the kids snugggled up in bed.

Just went for the day to visit the druids temple. After going for a lovely walk around the estate I returned to the car to be greeted by an awesome smell coming from a hot food stall. I couldn't resist. I opted for the Swinton signature burger. It wasn't cheap at 7.50 but my god it was so worth it. It was a huge tasty quality venison burger. Soooooo good!

Very friendly and helpful owners. The yurts are nice and clean. The shower facilities are clean and adequate. Beautiful walks close by and stunning views from the yurt. The website could have been more transparent as it didn't state that cutlery, plates and pans are provided. All in all I highly recommend staying here.

This is in a gorgeous spot in the countryside and on the Swinton Park Estate - such amazing views on a beautiful day like today, to enjoy whilst eating and drinking outside on benches outside the Bivouac. Food is excellent and good optiobs/choices! Service very good and staff are friendly and polite Would highly recommend!
