Founded in 2004 by Emma Crabtree, Crabtree & Crabtree began as a personal venture, offering hand-picked recommendations of Northumberland’s finest private homes for rent. Over the years, it has grown into the leading holiday rental company across the North East of England and the South of Scotland, with a carefully curated portfolio of over 360 exceptional properties. These range from coastal cottages and grand castles to chic barn conversions, romantic hideaways, and remote retreats.

Alongside providing luxury stays, Crabtree & Crabtree is deeply committed to supporting the local economy and championing sustainable tourism. The company works closely with local farmers and landowners, many of whom are diversifying their businesses, helping them to benefit from the holiday rental market. In addition, guests are encouraged to explore and support local producers and independent businesses, with a curated directory highlighting regional food, artisans, and unique experiences.

Despite its growth, Crabtree & Crabtree remains dedicated to delivering personalised, high-quality stays, while fostering connections between guests and local communities, ensuring every visit is memorable and meaningful.
