Meet the owner

Molly

Lewis and I had the fantastic opportunity to take on these wonderful holiday cottages and we've never looked backed. We're Yorkshire born and bred and want to share this wonderful part of the country with our guests. We love welcoming our guests into the cottages, especially when they bring their four legged friends. We absolutely love doggies and sometimes bring our Greyhound Maisie to work with us! The views of the Esk Valley takes our breath away each time and we hope it has the same effect on you.
