About Us

Bridging the Gap between Luxury Hotels and Holiday Cottages

Having been a successful Corporate Events Consultant (Montpellier Events Ltd), experiencing some of the most beautiful and luxurious hotels around the world, I wanted to design and run my own holiday cottage in the pretty North Yorkshire village of Finghall.  So in 2014 the story began, with my husband directing the build and the children endlessly following me around fabric and interior shops!

 

If you're like me you'll be disappointed if standards are any less than expectations, so as standard, linens are no less than 400 thread count, Egyptian white cotton and towels no less than 600 gsm.  Beds are sumptious and high quality to match those of luxury hotels.  The cottage is equiped with everything you should need for a relaxing break and there are lots of additional touches like the embrioded Hare logo on dressing gowns, bedding and towels.   I also have regular assessments with National recognised bodies to ensure the cottage retains its 5 Star Gold standards.

 

As a team (from housekeeping to gardens) we appreciate and listen to constructive feedback from guests and have made many positive changes in the years in response.

Happy holidays bring happy memories and we would love to welcome you to stay.
