❤️ A LITTLE ABOUT US

Originally from Zimbabwe, we've spent many years living in the UK, where we previously operated a successful boat hire business in London.

Today, we enjoy sharing our family-owned homes in Yorkshire and Southwest Florida with guests when we're not using them ourselves.

Although these are our personal homes, both are thoughtfully furnished and prepared for guests, with personal belongings kept out of sight. Our aim is to provide a fresh, uncluttered and welcoming environment with all the comforts of home.

Ellar Gardens is our little piece of Yorkshire paradise, and we're delighted to share it with guests who will appreciate and care for it as much as we do.

We hope you'll feel right at home, enjoy exploring this beautiful part of Yorkshire and make wonderful memories during your stay!

🏡 WELCOME!
