A little about us...
George and Karen2

Hello everyone,
Many guests looking for accommodation, be it hotels or Bed & Breakfast, rarely get to know much about their prospective hosts - unless by word of mouth. People can feel a little tentative, even apprehensive, when booking accommodation - whether for a holiday, work, a wedding or just visiting friends. We have guests from all corners of the world and all walks of life - from musicians to businessmen, teachers to actors and authors. Whatever the reason for visiting we aim to make each and every guest’s stay a “home away from home” - and in support of this aim we believe that all our guests deserve to know A LITTLE ABOUT US!

George & Karen

Hello from Karen,
Apart from helping George to make our guests stay a happy one
I somehow manage to fit in a full time job with a property development company where I started in early 2007 after 18 years as a Company Secretary with a machine tool company. My main interest is portrait drawing - both human and pets (commissions on request), but time permitting I also enjoy gardening, reading, embroidery, a good film and wild life documentaries.

KAREN

Hello from George,
I enjoy most kinds of music, writing lyrics and dabbling with poetry. When the mood takes me I love singing in the shower imagining I’m still fronting ‘Scarecrow’ - a rock band I sang with many years ago. (Sorry, no requests unless paid for!). A Queens Award whilst serving in the Boys Brigade remains a super memory. I’m interested in most sports - and as an ex semi-pro footballer with Bradford Park Avenue and Halifax youth teams I wish I had my time over again as the pay is a lot better! A career in textiles led to 18 years in retail fashion management followed by a Degree at 50 - which brings me to the Bed & Breakfast - the hardest job of all (joke!). I always enjoyed cooking and was fortunate to learn the techniques needed as one of nine children. I will be cooking your breakfast while Karen plays host. I have the appropriate hygiene certificate so you can be sure of a good healthy breakfast.

YORKSHIRE HOSPITALITY
Verse 1 of 5 © 2007  George Crowther

Yorkshire is renowned for the hospitality of its people -
A friendly people - a friendly place, built up over centuries
by Yorkshire folk who cared little for airs and graces,
whatever their task and reflecting the work that formed
the Yorkshire character; the coal, textile and brewing industries,
and much more for that matter,
the farmer who from early morn till dusk out in the fields,
helped form the roots of we Yorkshire folk.
Oh! and not forgetting steel !!!
