Whitechapel Cottages are a family run business.
Owners Richard and Valerie Burgess live at Whitechapel Barton and have been farming and running a holiday cottage business since they moved there in 1971.
Since 2004 their son Chris returned to the farm after many years of working as a freelance Outdoor Instructor. Chris and his partner Claire now live on-site and help to run the family business.
Chris as well as managing the bookings and maintaining the website, chopping wood etc still finds time to teach climbing and kayaking and canoeing locally, and onsite to the guests.
We will welcome you to your cottage and be available on-site for any issues that may arise, unless we are on an occasional holiday ourselves
Whitechapel Barton is located on a south facing valley surrounded by its 250 acres of farmland which is enclosed by over 250 acres of woodland. Whitechapel contains the two cottages- Westside and Grooms and Barton House, the old courtyard of barns and the more modern farm yard just east of Barton House. The farm was once part of an Elizabethan Estate and was mentioned even earlier in the Doomsday Book,
