Who are we? 

Sally’s Cottages recently became part of the Travel Chapter family, a company that values integrity, friendliness and fun! Sally’s Cottages started in Eskdale with one cottage and a dream. Now we are lucky to have joined the company behind holidaycottages.co.uk, who also started out as a family business in Devon.

We have a passion for creating moments of happiness in the Lakes, whether that’s on top of a mountain or sitting in front of a stunning view with a cuppa. This passion runs through everyone that works for us and we want someone to join us, who shares this passion! Imagine helping a group of friends to book their trip where they conquer Scafell Pike together, coming back tired and happy to the perfect cosy cottage. Imagine helping a family plan their parents’ Golden Wedding Anniversary celebration with the whole family in a spacious cottage, perfect for all the family. These are memories that last forever and you could play a part in creating them if you come and work for Sally’s Cottages.

Diversity is key to our success, and we work hard to make sure we’re inclusive. Let us know if you need any adjustments made to the application or selection process so you can do your best. We’ll be happy to help.
