Meet the Team
Your Hosts
Ian and Karen
It has been a life long dream of ours to do something like this…Ian and I would sit at the bottom of our garden and fantasize about having some holiday cottages or log cabins, we’d talk about how we would do things and what we could offer guests. When we had to relocate to Yorkshire with Ian's work, we got the chance to set up one self- catering apartment and with us both working in high pressure jobs it was an amazing antidote to return in the evening to see our guests enjoying the sun set and a glass of wine. We made some good friends along the way. In late 2018 we acquired Brickfields Farm; a tired business badly in need of some TLC. We brought our diverse industry skills with us and fully entered the wonderful world of hospitality. It’s a different industry sector but we are still working with people, meeting their needs, sharing stories and life experiences and loving every minute.
