Thinking of letting your Yorkshire holiday property? We'll make it easy for you

As part of our retirement planning, a long term goal was to own and manage a holiday let and when we saw Middle Row Cottage in Richmond, we knew this was the place as the town was so vibrant and welcoming. Next job to find an agency to promote and source bookings for us – in summer of 2021 we called into the Leyburn Office which was just in the process of being set up and arranged for Sarah to view our property, we left the office armed with all sorts of pertinent information on running a holiday home and what the agency could offer us, as we lived around 3 hours away. A date in the diary to take photographs and provide editorial copy was arranged and delivered as scheduled.

From our first meeting with Sarah, our relationship has been mutually rewarding, supportive, collaborative and thorough – all questions are answered in a timely manner, suggestions offered are workable with both the guests and owners in mind, fully committed to delivering a great result. We have been delighted with the professional service all the team provide, not only in the Leyburn office but the finance and compliance teams too. As we now live around 10 minutes from Leyburn we pop in once a month just to say hello, its such a welcoming atmosphere and they really have got to know us as a couple and make us feel part of the family.

We can see this is a focused, service driven and professional agency, we are delighted we found them right at the start of both our journeys and recommend them whenever we can.

We are in our second year with Yorkshire Hideaways and it has been a very positive experience. Being new to holiday letting, we have benefited from the support and encouragement from the team.

Of the letting agents we initially approached, Yorkshire Hideaways stood out. They were completely honest and straightforward about what they required from us and realistic about what we could expect to achieve in rental income.

Yorkshire Hideaways are extremely responsive when it comes to advice and guidance and quick to solve any issues that might crop up.

We have not, for one moment, regretted choosing Yorkshire Hideaways and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to offer their property for holiday lets in this area.

As our first time experience of a holiday let we are so pleased we chose Yorkshire Hideaways to manage our property.

Their staff in the Leyburn office are welcoming and focused on delivering the best outcome for all parties. In our opinion they go the extra mile in sorting any occasional problems which inevitably arise.

We manage to pop into their office on a fairly regular basis and more often than not there is a coffee on arrival, which is a bonus.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Yorkshire Hideaways and in particular their Leyburn Team.

We cannot recommend Yorkshire Hideaways highly enough! The staff are wonderful and provide a professional yet personal service to us as Owners and to our guests.

We bought our property in Leyburn in winter 2021 and then spent 5 months getting it ready as a holiday let. We are not from the area and so having viewed Willow Garth we then popped into the Leyburn office. From that initial meeting we had absolutely no hesitation in asking Sarah and her team to manage Willow Garth. Their expert advice in setting up our property and their local knowledge has been invaluable and we’d certainly recommend them to anyone looking to let their property in the area. You will be in very safe hands with the Yorkshire Hideaways team!

It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Yorkshire Hideaways over the last six months and to feel like “part of a family” again.

The transition from my last holiday company (including transferring existing bookings) has been absolutely seamless with no problems encountered for either myself or guests.

I do not live local and therefore pay for the managed services. Any issues with the property – or with guests – have, in my absence, been dealt with swiftly, professionally and to everyone’s satisfaction. I am always kept well informed of any actions needed – and the costs involved.

The Leyburn office has a small staff and therefore very busy but they always have time for a catch up by phone or in person and when I do pop in I’m always made to feel extremely welcome and “special” – as I said before it is like being part of a family.

I cannot commend Yorkshire Hideaways – and especially the team in Leyburn – highly enough and have no hesitation in recommending them.

"Yorkshire Hideaways have been fantastic from the word go, we contacted them to manage our cottage and the service we have received has been outstanding."

"Nothing is too much trouble for them to sort and the professionalism is highly appreciated. The guests have all spoken very highly about the service, ease of booking and communication."

"We as owners love the freedom we have to log in to our cottage and book out whatever we need with no problems at all. The Staff at Leyburn Office are amazing and I would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who is wanting to market a Self Catering home."

"I was getting close to finishing the renovation of Poachers Cottage and the next step was the finishing touches and getting the cottage up and running as a holiday let - and it was something I was not looking forward to."

"I had spoken to other local holiday cottage companies and then I noticed Yorkshire Hideaways had opened their office in Leyburn so I thought I’d give them a try... I am so glad that I did, I am really happy with the service I have received from Sarah and Jane, their knowledge and enthusiasm is unrivalled and they have been invaluable during the difficult final stages of getting Poachers Cottage guest ready."

"They have been a great help with their general advice, site visits, getting local trades on site, and assisting with the final finishing touches to get the property nicely furnished and equipped with the essentials."

"I would definitely recommend Sarah and Jane at Yorkshire Hideaways, we now have a lovely holiday cottage which is always booked."
