Richmond Cottages

Holiday cottages & accommodation in Richmond

Nestled on the banks of the River Swale, the Yorkshire town of Richmond has changed little over the centuries. Often referred to as one of the most beautiful towns in the UK, it is home to prestigious heritage sites including the ruined Norman fortress of Richmond Castle and Easby Abbey. Explore the town on a free guided tour and discover fascinating tales of its history in the Richmondshire Museum. A beautiful collection of medieval buildings and Georgian façades house a variety of shops, stylish galleries and all sorts of places to eat and drink, plus you’ll find weekly open-air markets and monthly farmers' markets on Richmond’s cobbled square.

From our Richmond cottages, you can venture into the Yorkshire Dales for a host of outdoor activities including walking, cycling and potholing or head to the Foxglove Covert Local Nature Reserve which covers nearly 100 acres of moorland. The towns and villages of Reeth, Leyburn, Askrigg and Hawes are also close by, ripe for exploring. Come evening, dress up for a night at the Georgian Theatre Royal, or curl up by the fire in your holiday cottage in Richmond and unwind. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a large holiday home big enough for all the family or a dog-friendly escape, Richmond is a heavenly location for a relaxing break at any time of year.
