For a Yorkshire getaway with pretty green views to wake to each day, stay at this bright and spacious cottage in the heart of Richmond. This delightful Georgian market town, also known as the ‘Gateway to the Yorkshire Dales’, has much to offer visitors, with its 11th-century castle, fascinating abbey ruins, pretty waterfalls and excellent shops and cafes, all within 1 mile. The town is surrounded by stunning landscapes, so pack your walking boots for outdoor adventures with up to seven fellow guests (and three dogs)!
This single-level dwelling combines a smart brick exterior with a homely interior. In an elevated position overlooking the golf course and town, it offers lovely vistas from many of its rooms. The lounge has large picture windows on two sides, filling the space with natural light. Inviting sofas and a cosy wood burner stove create a cosy setting for relaxing in the evenings. In the contemporary kitchen, glossy curved units and quality wooden work surfaces create an elegant look. There’s a wooden dining table for meals, along with a breakfast bar and stools for perching with snacks. From here, bi-folding doors open out to a decked veranda and an enclosed garden where dogs and children can play. Through a gate, there is a delightful wooded area where you can dine and relax.
When it’s time to explore your surroundings, head to the cobbled market square and pick up yummy local produce if you’re there on a Wednesday or Saturday. The nearby Hudswell Woods (1.5 miles) make a lovely picnic spot, or perhaps you’ll venture into the Yorkshire Dales National Park (2 miles) to visit sites like Bolton Castle (13.5 miles) and the scenic regions of the North Pennines and Nidderdale, all within 25 miles.
