Other Recommended Cottage/Self-Catering Links

We often have guests stay in our cottages who own and operate top quality self-catering accommodation themselves. They book with us because they are not prepared to stay anywhere with lower standards than their own. For this reason, we are confident that you'll find their accommodation of a very high standard. We also have friends with luxury cottages in other locations. So if you fancy a holiday in a completely different location next time, here are some interesting links (see each website for full contact details):

Lavender Cottage, in the tiny hamlet of Iburndale, just outside the pretty village of Sleights near Whitby, this fabulous Grade II listed cottage is stunningly presented and provides the perfect romantic retreat. Owners: Helen and John.
