Country Hideaways is a small, family run holiday cottage agency, established since 1988, offering first class self catering holiday accommodation in the heart of the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire. We are Tourism Partners of Welcome to Yorkshire and only promote self-catering holiday accommodation which has been assessed under VisitBritain's quality assurance standard. Each cottage, house and apartment is inspected annually by VisitBritain but in addition to this our holiday accommodation is visited regulary by ourselves to ensure standards are maintained or improved.

We're also very proud to announce that some of our cottages have been awarded the Enjoy England Gold Award for 'exceptional quality of self catering accommodation and customer service.' To make your stay even easier we offer a Welcome Hamper service. We also support the work of the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust and are Associate Members. You can also like us on Facebook and follow us on twitter throughout the year.

Very much looking forward to helping you find your perfect holiday!
