North Yorkshire Cottage Holidays
Welcome to North Yorkshire Cottage Holidays
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.
Our personal approach to property management
We handle all aspects of the process, from marketing and reservation management to housekeeping and maintenance, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for both property owners and guests. We recognise that each property is unique and work closely with owners to tailor our services to their specific needs and preferences. We take pride in our attention to detail and commitment to quality, striving to exceed expectations and provide an unforgettable holiday experience.

Arthur, Albert & Vincent – The office Dogs Arthur, Albert and Vincent love spending their days in NYCH HQ, specialising in many a distraction and patrolling the office for any unwanted persons!!

We would be lost without their commitment and enthusiasm in NYCH HQ! “
