About Us

We are Ken and Sue Williamson and we would like to welcome you to Askrigg Cottage Holidays and our beautiful self-catering holiday cottages in the glorious Yorkshire Dales National Park.

We began our love affair with the Yorkshire Dales with our first holiday here in 1987 and we bought a second home in Askrigg in 1995 (Minnie's Cottage). It took us a while but we moved to Askrigg to live in 2000 and our family followed us shortly after, so we now have 3 generations living and working in Askrigg. We began letting out Minnie's Cottage in the late 1990's and Urlay Nook followed in 2007.

Our ethos is to remain hands-on and family run and our gorgeous two cottages are designed and equipped to the standards that we want to find if we stay in a holiday cottage. We take pride in our cottages and providing you with the best holiday that we can.

We think, although we may be slightly biased, that we have a two very special and unique holiday cottages in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park, and we feel very privileged to be able to live and work in this area, and to be able to share them with our guests.
