Our Story so far...

How Emma Crabtree’s love of Northumberland grew into a collection of some of England and Scotland’s most extraordinary holiday homes. Having espoused the delights of this beguiling part of the world for many years to anyone who would listen, it struck me that night at our family holiday home on the banks of the Tweed, that our holiday concept was building a growing fanbase of like-minded friends - and friends of friends - won over by this understated part of the world. I’d send them scribbled notes of our family’s favourite haunts, from epic rambles, to where to find the best fish and chips and hidden picnic spots that no one else knows about. And they kept coming back. 15 years on and those scruffy notes have been polished and upgraded into a website and little black book of top local tips that we give to our guests.

We are not a ‘one size fits all’ faceless agency with a vast portfolio of soulless properties. We seek out homes filled with authenticity, warmth and character to suit all budgets and requirements. Places where meticulous attention to detail and unique style create something truly special. We are listeners, thinkers and doers. We make things happen and we are developing all of the time to anticipate and meet the needs of our guests. When my daughter came along, so did the realisation that teeny people need an unbelievable amount of kit; and with that, we created C&C Tots, working with several owners to equip their houses with everything a family with babies or toddlers need. And now, recognising there’s an age where children’s sense of adventure needs fulfilling, we’ve launched C&C Explorers, a package of ideas and itineraries to satisfy and develop the curious little minds of mini explorers while they are staying with us.

We pride ourselves on going the extra mile for all of our guests, whatever their age, to ensure their Crabtree & Crabtree holiday is a seamless and memorable experience. We are passionate about sharing our insider knowledge with our guests. We hope to welcome you to our glorious part of the world very soon.
