Welcome to Cottages in and around Northumberland
Here at ‘Cottages in Northumberland’, we aim to deliver the best possible service to both visitors to the region and to holiday cottage owners. We own a number of properties in the region, and have been successfully managing many others on behalf of their owners for the last four years. The key to our success is the passion that our staff have for Northumberland, and their intimate knowledge of the region (although we are still discovering new places to visit!), which enables all visitors to get the most out of their holiday.
The Team
Rick McCordall – Managing Director
The team is managed by Rick, who has worked in tourism marketing for over ten years and continues to invest in holiday cottages in Northumberland. ‘I think Northumberland provides an excellent location for a UK holiday or short break. The county offers something for absolutely everybody, whether you’re sporty, active, interested in history, wildlife, gardens or simply want a lazy peaceful holiday. I once heard a guest say that Northumberland has somehow managed to retain its character, history and unspoiled beauty which is rare in the UK. I think this is right as the county seems to provide an endless supply of interesting places to visit’. E-mail rick@cottagesinnorthumberland.co.uk Tel: 07808 501 553
Lyn Cole - Sales Manager has a background in property management and tourism, and a love of the Northumberland. “Northumberland is growing very quickly as a holiday destination and occupancy rates were up around 35% in 2009. We expect the numbers of visitors to our region to increase again in 2010 and we are constantly looking for more properties to satisfy the demand and offer our customers a better choice of places to stay“ E-mail lyn@cottagesinnorthumberland.co.uk Tel 07760 753 374

In addition to this team, we work alongside a team of dedicated cleaners lead by Pete Cronin. Pete and his team understand how important it is for the cottage to be immaculately clean for your arrival. In addition, we work with caretakers, plumbers, electricians, and joiners etc. who are all on stand-by to ensure you have a relaxing and enjoyable holiday.
