Tan Llan & The Coach House

Snowdonia National Park - Llanelltyd, Dolgellau

If you’re looking to get thoroughly lost in thought, then escape to Tan Llan. Lying on the edge of the small village of Llanelltyd, Tan Llan dissolves into the gently sloping hillside. This handsome, grey-stoned country house shelters within fifteen acres of landscaped grounds. A riot of daffodils in spring, fourteen varieties sing as proudly as the Welsh Male Voice Choir, statesmanlike trees whisper accompanied by the last giggles of a winterbourne stream and the River Mawddach as it laughs by.

The Reading Rooms

Yorkshire Dales National Park - Buckden, Skipton

***The Reading Rooms will be closing in December 2023 to undergo extensive renovations. The Reading Rooms is scheduled to re-open at the end of October 2024 transforming into 2 Bedroom with en-suite property with open plan kitchen/living/dining*** A genuine slice of Dales history is what's on offer here. As its name suggests, this sweet stone cottage was an important part of Oughtershaw's cultural life, and now makes a tranquil riverside retreat from which to explore the wider national park.

Oughtershaw Hall

Yorkshire Dales National Park - Buckden, Skipton

The magnificent detached country estate of Oughtershaw Hall rests in splendid isolation within the heart of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The property may date back to the 1600s, but don’t let this noble stone pile deceive you. Within its most Yorkshire of stone walls is more than the odd 21st-century surprise, non-more so than its own private heated swimming pool. The perfect large country house to rent for all the family, sleeping up to 16 guests at one time. Escape to peace, tranquillity & natural beauty with this unforgettable luxury retreat.

Rock Lobster

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

Perched on the edge of the intimate fishing village of Craster, Rock Lobster sits where the sea meets the sky, and ocean waves swell against igneous rock. This stylish holiday home by the sea, with uninterrupted views of the magnificent coastline, provides the perfect base to explore Northumberland. Or, to simply sit and look out to the North Sea continually repainting itself.

Middlerigg

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

The motherly arms of Craster harbour’s two whinstone piers hold a protective embrace. The resulting small cove shelters from the wild North Sea. It has welcomed Craster’s fishermen and their cobles for generations. Ramshackle stacks of lobster pots mirror the ragged silhouette of tumbledown Dunstanbugh Castle in the distance. Plucky oystercatchers peep support for their industrious colleagues, frantically strutting and prodding in the mud. The orange of their elongated beaks a close match for Middlerigg’s pantile roof that sits in contrast above its dark grey stone walls. Proudly, the house looks down at the boats resting at jaunty angles below, each one decorated with ropes strewn with oversized colourful plastic baubles. If Craster is the harbour, then the harbour is Middlerigg.

Harbourway

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

Situated at the end of a terrace of 19th century cottages in postcard-pretty Craster, close enough to the harbour wall to hear the squaw of herring gulls and the slap of the sea, Harbourway is a haven of seaside calm – and one of our larger Craster properties. Stoutly built from local whinstone, topped by slate, with double-fronted bay windows looking down onto the harbour, the cottage has been sensitively modernised while retaining true to its 19th century heritage.

Driftwood

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

If you're searching for a classic Craster fisherman's cottage, you'll most certainly find it in Driftwood. The exterior is classic Craster: hand-shaped local stone , little windows and a slate-tiled roof, with a sweet front garden accessed via its own white picket gate. There’s also a decked seating area at the front where you can sit and enjoy the sun and watch the daily goings-on down in the harbour. Inside, Driftwood is packed with period charm – from the original fireplace to the cosy bedrooms, it makes the perfect cosy bolthole for your Northumberland adventures.

Craster Reach

Northumberland Coast - Craster, Alnwick

Craster Reach is a tucked-away terrace cottage in Craster Northumberland, situated in the heart of the intimate fishing village which nestles on the invigorating Northumberland coast. Stepping into the house from the hushed street, a spacious yet cosy, contemporary interior greets you. Its views from the upper floors are panoramic and life-affirming. Craster Reach is the perfect coastal retreat for up to six family members or friends to share good times and exhilarating adventures in one of the most breathtaking parts of the country.

What our guests say

Delivering The Wow Factor

Another wonderful multi family holiday at Tan Llan and The Coach House. Perfect for all ages of children and adults alike. The house and gardens are simply stunning and the river at the back of the property offers both moments of reflection and adventure. We took our paddle board and enjoyed many hours on the river. The accommodation is beautifully appointed and come rain or shine, you will be comfortable. We shared drinks on the terrace when the sun shone (however briefly!) and enjoyed a lovely cosy sit in front of the fire having arrived home after a long walk. Being able to take our dog made the holiday for all of us. He definitely lived his best life. High recommended.

Ms Smythe

Absolutely loved Oughtershaw Hall beautiful building with stunning rooms kitchen to die for loads of room very comfortable beds all rooms lovely and warm everything and more in the kitchen lovely welcome hamper and Ben who showed my son in law around and Tara who has been most helpful through out the booking would definitely recommend this property without a doubt.

Mrs Walker

Middlerigg is a fantastic place to kick back and relax. You don't really have to do much more than open the French doors on to the terrace and spend your holiday taking in the view. We spent a week there in August and had the type of weather you should not be expecting from a Northumberland summer. The renovation of the property is masterful - subtly combining the traditional feel of the original building with modern surfaces and appliances. No stone has been left unturned by the owners in seeking to provide you with everything you might need for a relaxing and stimulating holiday. We liked it so much, we booked for next year before we had finished with this one. We hope to be coming back for many years to come.

Mr Peel
