Downsizing and looking to move to Harrogate but trying to keep chain-free so looking for a 3 month rental (say mid Nov to mid Feb) while we suss out the market/locations etc. The more 'corporate' providers are quoting ridiculous numbers, anyone have any out of the box ideas? I'm thinking 'lodges', people who've moved out but want a property looking after, friend has a place etc. Ideally 2 bedrooms and a whole flat, lodge etc. Any links/ideas welcome - thanks!

Vinyl record collector here, looking for the best places in town to buy some records. Mostly into classic rock, but willing to venture into other genres too.
