Hello there,


I was wondering whether any one could recommend a Yorkshire holiday cottage, or a company which they have used to book similar holidays in UK through.


In-laws live in Scotland. Cousins in Lincoln. Lovely friends have moved to Durham, and in order that we get to see everyone, I thought we could base ourselves in Yorkshire and the in-laws could come and join us for a weekend, we could visit our friends in Durham, and take a trip into York for the day. Cousins could also come and visit.


Any suggestions would be a good start, as I have no idea.

Don't know of any cottage companies per se but we go to the Dales in North Yorkshire all the time as my husband's family live in Skipton. I can highly recommend the villages round there....in the beautiful dales - like Grassington, Gargrave, Threshfield, Linton etc...really beautiful, lovely walks, not too far from Harrogate/Leeds/York etc...think the Tour de France is going through the villages next year.

We stayed here a couple of years ago:


http://www.stainersfarm.co.uk Very close to Pickering. Lovely cottages with a children's play area - swings, slide etc. We travelled into York on a couple of days and also visited Whitby and Flamingoland (http://www.flamingoland.co.uk/).


Lovely holiday - we plan to go back.

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another? 
    • Found now. All safe.   Found now!
    • We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
