About the host
Hosted by Emma Summersgill
My husband Tim and I have lived in North Yorkshire for most of our lives. The Cottage is in the grounds of our house so we will usually be on hand to offer as much or little assistance as you require
We moved here with our 2 children for them to experience village life yet be near enough to the towns and attractions we also enjoy experiencing.
Kind regards, Emma

Why they chose this property
Staveley is nearer our friends, families and places we enjoy visiting. Minutes from the A1 yet overlooking open fields and hearing birds singing makes this our perfect location.
What makes this property unique
So many of the most beautiful attractions in Yorkshire are within a 30 minute drive of this property, no need to spend all day in the car finding places to enjoy
