Dog Friendly Richmond Holiday Cottages

What our customers say about their holidays

  The Old Post Office is a very comfortable holiday let with plenty of space for families.

  The garden is amazing, surrounded by a Yorkshire stone wall & a tiny gate in the wall at the very bottom of the garden for a quick escape to go sight seeing. Everything about the cottage is so peaceful & relaxing. I agree with previous feedback that the photos do not do it justice. It is a typical old cottage with stone flagged floors, two open fires (if you fancy them) & central heating. Two very comfortable lounges, one with TV & 3 bathrooms one being on the ground floor in a utility room with shower & toilet. The kitchen is luxurious with marble worktops & plenty of storage as well as everything else you require. The bedrooms are also very comfortable. Finally the views into the field & beyond next to the cottage from the dining room are amazing & if you are lucky the sheep may be in the field & come up to the window to say hello. Such a treat! I think visitors considering this property should know that the cottage is in a tiny village with no shops etc. The nearest town for supermarkets is Richmond approximately 20 mins by car away. I know the area so I planned ahead so we had everything required on arrival. Or you could do an online order & have it delivered to you. Highly recommended for peace, nice walks & the most beautiful scenery.

  The interior photos are in no way representative of this lovely cottage!

  It is spacious but still cosy, refurbished and (tastefully) modernised with the addition of larger windows and a fabulous airy extension (the dining room). We were looking forward to sitting by the fire but the heating was so good that the place was always warm! Comfy beds, warm duvets, decent showers (given that they are electric) and everything you could need in the kitchen. I feared the worst when I read "electric hob" but it is in fact an induction hob so cooking was very easy. The remote location was a positive for us and we enjoyed the views from the upstairs and dining room windows. There were several paths to walk nearby without needing to get in the car, but Grinton and Reeth (10 minute drive down a narrow lane) provided further opportunities close by. We would highly recommend this cottage and would definitely stay here again.

  Great cottage.

  Had everything you required. The garden was fab. Sat watching the wildlife even saw a woodpecker. The dog loved it too. Even found the little gate at the bottom of the garden where you can buy fresh eggs. The dining area was fab loads of space, very bright and the sheep kept on coming to say hello. We were worried they wasn't enough toilets as only mentioned one on the description but there was three. Plenty of places to visit with some amazing views and come back and relax in the lovely warm cottage listening to and watching the wildlife. Then a good night's sleep in the comfy beds. 10/10

  Beautifully clean; but 4 star rating for following reasons: car parking for two cars difficult - too narrow and if you stray off edge of patio then difficult to get car back from drop; needs more gravel/or cement to stabilise area .

  Inside cottage the Snuggery is overcrowded and access to piano impossible with heavy sofa in front of it. The Chest of draws is superfluous and should be removed. Then more chairs to sit and watch Tv would be possible. The TV itself was poorly connected - dodgy cable and picture kept breaking up. There was no dvd facilities to play these for children. Upstairs shower room loo seat was too big for loo so if male using it had to hold up seat all time. But Overall lots of positives.

  The cottage is much larger and better appointed than the photos suggest.

  The entrance porch , with seats to take off muddy boots, is a useful feature. As is “the snug “ , another entrance area to hang coats and leave shoes . The 2 smallish lounges are both cosy and lovely to return to a log fire after a day in the hills. There are no shops or pubs in the village but both are available in Reeth , 3 miles away. Hence it’s as Covid safe as you could find. We loved it here and plan to return.
