If you’re a work in or have I got a treat for you! We’re offering reduced midweek rates in Feb for that lucky crew living the good life who can work from anywhere or whose weekends are necessarily Saturday and Sunday. We got really good workspaces in the cottage, from a designated desk area to setting up at the kitchen table. Pop out for a quick lunch at or or pick up a sandwich from . if you’re enjoying a couple of days off have a relaxing soak in the roll top bath and kick back with some and in the evening. Either way, it’s a bargain and who doesn’t love a deal in January

Some more lovely feedback from our latest guests. The Christmas tree is going up today so it’s going to be even more festive and cosy!

We’ve just discounted some dates in January with a massive 20% off, so if all this snowy weather is getting you thinking about winter walks (with or without a sausage dog), log fires and pub lunches look no further!

We’ve got a few days available for early September if anyone fancies squeezing in a last minute break before the schools go back…

Arty shot of a lamp to let you know we’ve just had a cancellation the the last week of July of anyone fancies a last minute getaway. Dog friendly, great pubs, lovely local walks, honesty bar, record player etc. You know the drill

On our way back from a wonderful weekend at the cottage. Always sad to leave. But on the plus side we’ve retained our superhost status so huge thanks to and , and although most weekends are booked up until July we’ve got spots of midweek availability if anyone can get away during the week.

Studley Royal 🦌 park featured in The Times yesterday as one of their recommended winter walks. I heartily endorse that it was walking the dogs through Fountains Abbey 3 years ago that we decided to buy the cottage so who knows what life changing decisions you might make while getting your steps in.

What a difference a day makes. Up at sparrows to get the train back to London so now back in the big smoke. Let’s do this!

Like most women, I have a favourite tree. This isn’t it - it’s actually my second favourite tree but she’s still serving stark, wintery realness so gets a place on the grid.

Train strikes meant I was able to tag on an extra week here after New Year before heading back to the office but I’m already starting to feel sad about leaving next week.

My New Year’s Resolution is to block out more time up here, but that said we do have our January 20% off deal if you can get up here. There’s a dedicated desk area as well as the good old kitchen table if you do have to work and plenty of pubs if you don’t.

mani pedi. I’m not going to show you my disgusting feet so you’ll have to take my word for the quality of the pedi.

Some really lovely feedback from our most recent guests. Big shout out to and for all their hard work making the cottage such a special place

How’s this for a little work station! I’m WFY(orkshire) this week having had an AMAZING massage on Sunday to set me up for the week so I think both things combined means my shoulders aren’t quite up by my ears like they usually are.

12/11/2022

I’ve been looking forward to this for such a long time

04/10/2022

We’re Superhosts! So pleased to have retained status. Basically what that means is that we have scored 5.0 out of 5.0 from guest reviews which ask questions around communication, cleanliness, accuracy of listing and value. Huge shout out to and for their sterling work in keeping the place shipshape.

Feet up and a glass of wine.

In my opinion Masham is at its finest in Autumn and there’s nothing better at this time of year than a long walk followed by log fire, records, red wine and Sunday roast. As luck would have it we’ve got some amazing vinyl at the cottage, with countryside, and around the corner so that Hallmark holiday could be yours. I make no promises re ruggedly handsome poet carpenters.

We’ve got a bit of availability left in November and December, the link to the page is in the bio

Well that was quite the weekend at Masham Sheep Fair. Personal highlight is always the sheep racing and duck herding, and great to see doubling his money. I know it’s too soon to be talking about this, but we’re doing Christmas gift vouchers again this year so if you’re stuck for ideas for that someone who has everything holla at me.

Wow - that was a summer. Very grateful that we were pretty much booked out throughout the holidays, but we have just had a cancellation for next weekend, you if any of you impulsive free spirits fancy a last minute getaway you know the drill.

Happy weekend! Thought the little bedroom deserves a bit of attention today. When we’re up there we tend to stay in the other bedroom as I really love a soak in the bath, but this one has the shower en -suite instead. Keep scrolling for the before. We’ve got chunk of availability 16-27th May if you want to escape to the country. Bjork is waiting for you.

I really should update that really old photo but we’re over the moon to have maintained our status 3 times on the bounce. Huge thanks to and our amazing cleaner Jane, as well as all our lovely guests. Come and visit!

It’s freezing so here’s a reminder that it is actually Spring! We’re really lucky to have been pretty much fully booked so far this year, but we do have some midweek availability next week from 3rd-7th, and then a longer stint after Easter from 22nd-29th so DM me if you need to escape.

Betty’s not feeling it today. Feb is pretty much booked up but there are a few midweek breaks available if you can get away. Have a look and see if the dates work for you https://www.airbnb.com/h/stylish-comfortable-cottage-in-masham-centre

So how was Blue Monday for you? You can always book yourself a little trip to the cottage. Kick back, light a fire, put some records on. Bob’s your uncle.
