Estate Escapes - 2011 so far...

Many months have zoomed by since we last updated you with our news. We've so much to report, it is difficult to know where to begin...


Estate Escapes was nominated for three tourism awards earlier in the year and you may be wondering what the outcome was? In March we were shortlisted for two REYTAs (Best Newcomer in Tourism and Best Self-Catering categories). Just in case you are wondering, a REYTA is a Remarkable East Yorkshire Tourism Award. The night itself was a great showcase for local tourism businesses and despite not making it over the final hurdle, we had a fantastic evening eating delicious locally produced food in the very splendid Bridlington Spa great hall. (Stunning by the way). 


More recently, we failed to clinch the title in the Welcome To Yorkshire annual tourism awards held at Doncaster Racecourse. There were over a thousand people at this most prestigious of awards and we were really hoping we had a good chance. Welcome To Yorkshire, the Yorkshire Tourist Board (that was) are a feisty, forward-thinking bunch of people who are pulling out all the stops to put Yorkshire on the map not just in the UK but globally, so it is a fantastic opportunity to rub shoulders with the great and the good of the tourism world at these types of events. You never know who you might meet or what tips they may have to improve the business. 


Sadly, at both awards we lost out to self-catering seaview appartments , one in Bridlington and one in Scarborough. Congratulations should go to the winners. Onwards and upwards...


Spring was absolutely stunning in Hotham and the cottages were very busy. We had some fantastic feedback from guests again. All couldn't believe how fantastic the weather was or how beautiful our holiday cottages are. One guest had tears in her eyes on arrival, she was so overjoyed with Stracey Cottage. That means the world to us, reactions don't get better than that.

This year we had lots of fresh herbs on Stracey and Clitherow Cottage patios for guests to use if they were rustling up a fantastic dish in the kitchen. And, the garden really came on this summer with beautiful pots and flowering troughs.


Over the summer, the cottages featured in different interior design magazines: Style at Home, Your Home and  
The Journal. Never thought of myself as an interior designer but the feedback I've had on the way I've decorated and furnished the holiday cottages has been remarkably positive. There may be more projects in the pipeline...?


But the biggest news this year so far has been that we decided that we needed to update the website. So, with the help of some fantastic guys down the road - Classlane Media - we have created a new site (which we are still tweaking a little bit) and we've filled it with lots of new images as well as film. Please visit the site and give us your thoughts www.estateescapes.co.uk or visit You Tube and look up Estate Escapes. We are thrilled with the new look at hope you find it gorgeous to look at and easy to use.
