A POPULAR farm shop and holiday business is launching a new luxury service for its high-end customers, but all may not be as it seems.

The Hollies Farm Shop has outlets at Lower Stretton and Little Budworth, but also provides holiday accommodation in luxury forest lodges in Cheshire, and in Aviemore in the Cairngorms National Park.

Earlier this morning, the business announced it is now planning to launch a new and unique service, allowing guest to take advantage of both sites as part of the same holiday booking.

From summer 2023, guests will be able to fly between to the two sites with their new mini-airline, Air Hollies, operating daily between Manchester Airport and Inverness.

A spokesman for The Hollies said: “We are so excited to finally be able to share this news.

“We are proud to introduce Air Hollies, our brand-new airline offering daily flights between Manchester and Inverness enabling you to travel in style between our Cheshire and Highland accommodation sites.

“The service will be available from summer 2023, and as we are known locally in Cheshire as ‘the fifty pound shop’, The Hollies are offering an early booking discount with flights for just £50.”
