Our Journey

North Yorkshire Cottage Holidays journey began in 2020 following the launch of our very own successful holiday cottage in the heart of Pickering, North Yorkshire. We are very much a family run business with a great partnership between husband and wife Matt and Lisa. We began our exciting journey of managing other peoples holiday homes in 2022, with the our main goal of offering a cross section of properties across our beautiful county of North Yorkshire, ensuring a personal service to both owners and guests.

Matt brings an abundance of experience within the tourism and hospitality industry, having worked for many years as General Manager for a local Luxury Holiday Lodge Company; with a wealth of knowledge and invaluable customer service skills. Lisa has successfully managed other people’s holidays homes and housekeeping services for several years, and has a keen eye for detail and vast knowledge and understanding within this area of holiday property letting; having previously worked for 25 years in the NHS, gaining valuable transferable managerial and service development skills.

North Yorkshire Cottage Holidays is a new and exciting venture, with our very own holiday cottage Nine PotterHill being the first property within our expanding collection. Demand for high quality and varied self-catering accommodation has increased within North Yorkshire, and we aim to seek out and expand our collection of properties.

 

“Together we feel we can fill a gap in the existing local market with our varied and extensive knowledge of holiday home letting, making North Yorkshire Cottage Holidays the perfect choice for potential holiday home owners!”

Born and bred in North Yorkshire both Matt and Lisa know the area very well and can offer guests an abundance of knowledge, to include areas of interest and places to visit and all the hidden gems that North Yorkshire has to offer.

 

Whether you plan to visit as a guest in one of our lovely properties or you are a holiday homeowner yourself, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
