A warm Yorkshire welcome
Four places, each with its own sense of home.
Hello, I’m Emma — and I’m delighted to share four unique holiday properties in the heart of North Yorkshire, each offering a peaceful escape from the everyday.
In Melmerby near Ripon, Grange Farm Lodge is a small farm stay designed just for couples. Further north in the Yorkshire Dales, River Dance Cottage, Kingfisher Cottage and The Bothy sit beside the River Ure and close to the iconic Aysgarth Falls.
The cottages and The Bothy reflect my love for comfort, calm and the natural beauty of Yorkshire. I look forward to welcoming you.

“The cottage was very clean & had everything you could need, beautifully decorated & lots of really lovely touches throughout… You look over the Aysgarth falls, such a beautiful location… We were toastie & warm in the cottage. We will definitely be back.”
“The location is unbeatable — Aysgarth Falls just around the corner and the walks were breathtaking. The cottage is cosy, spotless, and so well equipped. We loved curling up by the fire with a glass of wine after exploring. Can’t wait to come back!”
