Meet The Owners
Gary has been in property management for several years and has a wealth of experience managing holiday homes, ensuring every guest enjoys a seamless and comfortable stay. His love for dogs is a lifelong passion, having owned them for many years. When he first heard about XL Escapes through his daughter Eve (our wonderful housekeeper), he went on a passionate 15-minute rant about how unfair it is that dogs are often considered "exempt." Gary’s own giant German Shepherd, despite the often judgmental looks, was a gentle, soft-hearted companion – proving that size and appearance don’t define a dog’s temperament.
Gary’s dedication to creating a welcoming environment for guests – human and canine alike – shines through in everything he does. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, you’ll find that Gary’s focus is always on providing a relaxed and enjoyable stay for all.
