About us

Passionate about Yorkshire

Our story

We are Gorgeous Cottages, a luxury holiday cottage brand with properties all across Yorkshire. We first launched in 2012 in the market town of Stokesley by founder Christina Brion who, along with her small team, were driven by their shared passion for Yorkshire and the desire to deliver the very best self-catering holidays. Gorgeous Cottages are now proud to represent the finest collection of cottages across the region, with more than 180 luxury properties for our guests to choose from.

A shared love for all things Yorkshire

At Gorgeous Cottages we absolutely adore Yorkshire and everything about it - and what's not to love? From walking in the Yorkshire Dales, relaxing on the North York Moors, enjoying a drink in front of a wood-burning fire or eating fresh fish and chips on the Yorkshire Coast,

We’re also proud to know Yorkshire inside and out – it’s what makes us special. Our wealth of local knowledge and expertise means we can help our guests find the most fabulous self-catering accommodation to suit their requirements, in a location they will absolutely love, so they get the luxury holiday they deserve.

Holiday the Gorgeous way

Of course, nobody wants to settle for second best on a hard-earned holiday and that’s why we make sure every one of our properties is gorgeous in its own unique way. From a barn conversion with a stunning view of Wensleydale to a 5-star boutique bolthole in a prime location, each cottage has something truly special about it. We handpick every property so whether you need somewhere pup-friendly for your canine companion or somewhere family-friendly to run wild with the kids, we’ve got it covered.

Time and again our guest reviews and recommendations are fantastic. A unanimous success with our guests, 98% of customers have been in touch to say they would return to book a future break with Gorgeous Cottages – so what are you waiting for? Come and browse our collection today.
