Properties

A personal portfolio of holiday properties owned and managed by us – the Sykes family – our exclusive collection has been carefully curated and refined over the last 15 years. 

Our properties have been handpicked based on several standout factors, such as stunning locations, amazing views, and beautiful, quirky buildings. We’ve called upon decades of experience to restore, modernise and furnish each property with integrity and sympathetic materials. Every property embraces an appreciation of the landscape, history and community that surrounds it.

What our guests say

This is a gorgeous house, tastefully furnished, and very spacious.

We were a multi generational family and there was more than enough room for us all to do our own thing. The real bonus was the location. Surrounded by National Trust land managed as a nature reserve. We were greeted by a hare on the lawn and he and his family visited every morning. We watched a barn owl hunting each evening and so many other birds attracted by the stream next to the house. The fabulous Beadnell bay and beach a gentle walk across the field.

Absolutely stunning

Mill Farmhouse is a stunning “no expense spared” holiday home. It’s a really comfortable house, the bedrooms are large with super beds and modern, spotless en suites. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook a family meal although dining out in the area is excellent.

The location of Mill Farmhouse is idyllic, standing in a large rural plot it’s a lovely place to totally relax and enjoy the local wildlife and watch the birds. A five minute stroll across the adjoining fields takes you to a beautiful sandy beach or on to the coastal path leading to Beadnell bay in about 20 mins, and Low Newton and Craster if you want to stretch your legs.

We would totally recommend this amazing 5 star property - we have already booked our next visit

Winter recharge in Craster - Jan 2026

Our must have criteria was a comfortable cottage within walking distance of a local pub (Jolly Fisherman - recommended for a quick refresh and food), sea views and walks along the coast from our front door. A wood burn was a must as our side space was not a driver beyond off street parking due to the time of year we visited.

Craster Reach met all our criteria and customer service was great. When we needed to reach out for support, it was timely and supportive- thank you Clare and Tara.

We are already looking to return and are happy to recommend.

One item to note, if you are tall, the top floor bedroom/ensuite needs a little time to adjust. Showers are powerful and a pleasure.

The weather during our stay was a real mix and thankfully only one rainy day. Fresh frosty mornings, clear blue skies and crashing waves added to the morning leg stretch along the coastal paths.

Pretty close to perfect

We visited on a November weekend where we had a storm on one day and perfect blue skies on another. The house was superb. We had everything we needed, and more. Its great having the upstairs lounge with balcony - especially when you can watch 3-4m waves. Having nothing in front of you, or at the sides just adds to that. Overall the house was well sound proofed, warm and nicely decorated for Christmas. The fake wood burner added a lovely touch, without the hassle!

The games room was a real bonus, and I imagine the garden (perfect grass in Nov) must be fab in the summer. The proximity to the great pub and the kippers was appreciated.

Clare and the Catch the Breeze Team were lovely to deal with, we hope to find the opportunity to book with them again.

Special occasions in a beautiful area

The Reading Rooms are typically well appointed and equipped as expected from Catch the Breeze. Loved being beckside. Ben is the local agent and is a great bloke.

Birthday and anniversary celebrations in the wonderful Yorkshire Dales. Drive up over the moor to Hawes. 
Weather limited walking with some flooding in fields and the odd road. Hardraw Force dramatic at the moment. 
Stone House Hotel, White Hart, Green Dragon and George Inn all good eating. Gayle Mill (Thursdays) worth a visit. Would love to return in drier weather and venture further.
