I am Cara and I have lived in Whitby and run holiday accommodation here for a number of years.

Hi! I am Cara Shardlow and I started up Yorkshire Coast Holiday Lets last year. I've previously run a livery yard and coached horse riding for over 20 years from my family’s old dairy farm just outside Whitby. I also competed Internationally in Dressage.

I also love the outdoor, running, cycling and walking, I compete in Duathlon’s having qualified for the Europeans in my age group in 2018. Cara2 I had been running my own holiday cottage for a couple of years and really enjoying giving my guests a great experience and it seemed a natural progression with my interest in property to build up my holiday lets and run them for other people too. I just love the area around Whitby it’s so special, which is why it was voted one on the most visited places in the UK last year, the fact I can now help to make my guests stay here even better is just fantastic!
