The North Yorkshire countryside is a walkers' and cyclists' paradise, with a plethora of public walks and roads that take you up hill and down dale through areas of outstanding beauty. There is no shortage of things to do and see, visit Richmond Castle, River Swale waterfalls and Easby Abbey. Jump in the car and head over to the east Yorkshire coastline to visit the villages of Staithes, Robin Hood's Bay or the cobbled streets of Whitby. The property spans over three floors.

A great games room with pool table, Smart TV and sofa and lounge room with cosy sofas, funky artwork and another Smart TV. Completing this floor is the utility room which has a washing machine and fridge/freezer. The garden can also be accessed from here. The ground floor has two bedrooms, a king-size and a twin bedroom, and the main bathroom with bath, separate shower and WC.

We really enjoyed the holiday in a fab location within Richmond. We did find it a little difficult with little ones being over 3 floors but that equally allowed some handy separation for the kids at bed times. We had a really lovely family holiday and found plenty to do, the weather was also kind which always helps. The owners were extremely helpfuRead morel and really bent over backwards to ensure we had what we needed...lovely memories for summer 2022. Many thanks. Hide

Amazing cottage, so well equipped. The host Caroline has thought of absolutely everything. We found the cottage to be very clean and in an excellent location with only a 2 minute walk into the centre of Richmond. Our one and only negative would be that the garden was not ideal for crawling/toddling babies, we couldnt really relax as there is a veryRead more low wall with a pretty significant drop at the other side. This however would not deter us from staying again. Hide
