For more than 30 years Linda and Brian have offered a choice of outstanding self catering holiday properties situated in idyllic and unusual locations; on the Yorkshire coast; in the Yorkshire Dales; on the Northumberland coast; in the Northumberland uplands and outside the UK in Barbados.
 

They can also offer a Rurban experience on a working farm in North Leeds bordered by ancient woodland. It nestles in its own green 72 acres, with a 12 acre woodland scarf.  Offered on Air B and B, The Meanwood Valley Trail joins to the Dales Way,  3 miles from Leeds centre it's a peaceful, dog friendly oasis in a thriving city. The Dales Way connects to the Pennine Way which connects to Hadrian's Wall which connects to the Northumberland Coast Walk - all properties connected by a chain of walks. The Gatehouse in Adel, Iron Row in Burley and Flats on the Grove in ILKLEY are  currently let on assured short hold tenancies. 
 

In 2023 we added our 3 suite Gibbes Cottages on the west coast of Barbados to our selection. The air compnditioned bedrooms also have ceiling fans, but no duvets, as these are unhygienic in tropical climates. Flights run from Manchester from Oct to May and from Heathrow throughout the year.

Guests who successfully bid for their 10 day holiday prize for the Bone Cancer Research Trust will be holidaying in March 2025. Our 2024 charity is supporting research in to MND.

From spacious entertaining areas to panoramic sea views; cosy sitting rooms with log fires; fully equipped kitchens; gardens stocked with herbs, soft fruit and veg; access to sports facilities and cultural events; scenic walking festivals; art exhibitions; antiques but above all, atmosphere, peace and calm you will be spoilt for choice.
