11 Tower Street

Absolutely

A lovely cottage right in the centre of the town it has all the amenities you could need and there is a garage which is great for parking

The cottage is quirky, cosy and comfortable.

It's central location is great for exploring Richmond town and, being a cul-de-sac, it is quiet. Seeing the castle tower from the windows is a bonus. It was miserable weather during my stay and the heating is efficient at keeping the cottage warm. Having an upstairs toilet is helpful and the beds are comfortable. There is a good selection of books to read and the TV has streaming channels available. It would be useful to have a wardrobe or hanging space in the double bedroom. Parking is a problem and perhaps the owner could leave a parking disc in the cottage, which would avoid the need to obtain one on arrival. I enjoyed my stay and would return to Tower Street.

Well we have just enjoyed a week here at the start of Autumn.

Why you should pick this cottage above the rest. We found it welcoming and nice and clean. Very comfy seating in the lounge area and a big TV, kitchen more than adequate considering as a couple we never came away with the intention of cooking anyway. The location is fantastic, I’m late 70s, can’t disclose Ann’s for obvious reasons, and, I must just say that, nowhere is as far a walk as it looks on Google Maps. About the garage at the property. We’re lucky that we are a two car family, so for the non technical, a big one and a smaller one. The smaller is a little older so it’s not our first choice but for this occasion it suited as we calculated it would fit snugly in, you need to drive in and not reverse otherwise it’s difficult to get out of the car. If you’d like to compare car dimensions, our “picnic-mobile” is a Saab 9-3 convertible, you can Google it’s dimensions. If you can’t get in the garage the Disc Parking Scheme is easy enough just collect a disc from any shop and they’ll explain how it works. The immediate area is almost flat, “not quite” but you’ll probably not notice as you wander around, There are plenty of pubs and eateries and a good selection of shops. If you want to take the walk down to the falls go via Castle Walk just past the Bishop Blaize pub on the left in The Square and follow the walk round the castle anticlockwise, lovely views from there too, then it’s just a short stretch to the Falls. From there walk along keeping the river to your right, walk along The Batts towards the bridge, great views and brilliant if you’ve brought your dog, we don’t have one so we went on our own, Ah! You can cross the bridge and it’s a short walk to The Station, not as far as we had thought and there’s some rather nice food in there too. A visit to Easby Abbey is a must, however a bit too far for us to walk, but only 5 minutes by car, if that, and there’s a free car park there, we were lucky as the sun was shining making it even more impressive. There’s refreshments available at The Easby Loop Cafe, don’t be put off that it’s just a catering van, the food was brilliant and there’s a seating area overlooking the river. Hope I’ve helped you to make up your mind, I’ sure you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great weekend in Richmond and the cottage was perfectly placed for all of the amenities in the town.

The cottage was excellent and I would recommend it.

My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay in your lovely cottage, right beside the Castle in the heart of Richmond.

A clean and spacious property in the town centre with its own garage!

! Everything was clean, floor in the kitchen is a little uneven but nothing untowards. Considering the location and garage it is presents very good value.

I have left feedback with the owner in the maintenance book

Lovely cosy cottage with beautiful views.

Larger than the photos suggest. Lovely to hear the waterfalls from the open bedroom windows at night.

Hello, our stay was fantastic, thank you.

The house was perfect in terms of location, character, cleanliness and had a great tv, games, books and kitchen / dining facilities. The garage was also VERY handy and our Nissan X-trail squeezed in with a cm to spare! We have family in the area and visit every couple of years; over the years we have stayed in a number of different places - however in the future we need look no further as #11 is a perfect home from home for us and we will definitely return. I am happy for you to publish the above, but the following, please only share with the owners: As mentioned above everything was perfect and we will certainly return in the future. I just have one small point that you may not be aware of, which didn't affect our stay in the slightest, but may help - chatting with a neighbour of the property, they felt the weeds and growth out the front was giving the property / road a bad look. It looked a very easy fix to me. Thanks again, Chris

A lovely cottage in the heart of Richmond It was cozy and warm It had all the facilities for the kitchen if you wanted to have meals in Tho toilet upstairs and downstairs was very convenient to have as was the garage at the top of the little street The property owner Olivia was very nice to talk to if you needed to A lovely place will definitely be staying again

Stayed here many times and it's always been an enjoyable experience.

Would love a coffee machine but it's not a deal breaker.

Lovely little cottage.

Perfect for our week there with our dog. Very close to market place, but very quiet. Bonus of having the garage. Perfectly clean, bed was very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with all utensils needed. Will definitely stay again.

Great location and everything needed for a great stay

Night storage heaters on landing and second bedroom not functioning correctly- otherwise a very comfortable and cosy cottage

Great holiday overall.

Lovely cottage and exc location

It’s a wonderful little house.

We very much enjoyed our stay. The beds are were nice and clean with fresh linens and towels. Handy Upstairs toilet with main shower room downstairs. Kitchen nice any spacey with food working oven and hob. Though not very equipped. However the shower was a pain. If you had the pressure low you could get a nice temperature but it was so weak it was hard to wash soap off, turn the pressure up it was hard to manage control of the temperature between freezing cold and boiling hot. The fridge was tiny and the ice box didn’t freeze, but that be because it needed defrosting. Lovely and convenient for the river which we visited most days and also the town. No trouble with parking. Thank you very much x

Towels and bedding etc were very good but we found that the night store heating system was inadequate in colder weather and the property was cold by evening.

We were surprised that there was no hairdryer, and we couldn’t get the can opener to work, but other than that the facilities were adequate. The location is excellent and Richmond is a lovely market town. The use of the garage was a real bonus!

Lovely cottage great location.

The two good things about the cottage are the position and the fact a BMW series 2 car fits in the garage The cottage was unsympathetically presented,the out dated storage heaters made it too hot on sunny days but cold during the evening.

The kitchen was very poorly equipped

The cottage was lovely and in a fabulous location.

It was the perfect base to explore North Yorkshire and we would definitely look at booking the cottage again if we return.

It was a very clean and comfortable cottage in a great location and very welcoming on arrival.

We found the instructions in the cottage regarding departure arrangments a bit confusing (e.g., the bin was not at the front door, contrary to the instructions) and incomplete (e.g., what should be done with bedding and where the key should be left). However, we enjoyed staying there, would happily return and would recommend the property to others.

The heating system seems to be set wrong (night storage) it came on about 01.

30 and went off around15.00hrs which meant it was very cool in the evening.The cottage itself was lovely and the location and parking was outstanding.

What is not to like in the historic, old town of Richmond, North Yorkshire, built into the walls or forming part of the Norman Castle.

Central location for Coast to Coast walkers, as well as gentle walks and stunning scenery alongside the River Swale to Easby Abbey ruins in one direction or through Billy Bank Woods in the other. Excellent bus services to the Dales, as well as to Darlington and beyond. Even though we stayed mid-November, the area seemed to have a fairly mild micro climate for the time of year. We opted for a 600 year old accommodation at the foot of the Castle, and couldn't have been more surprised and delighted at all the mod cons that had been installed in the property, as well as an open fire grate. This property does have a garage, although restricted if the vehicle is a 4x4 size. Really could not find any fault with this holiday property or its location.

upstairs, beds and bedding clean, boiler made dripping sound through the night in kids room.

kettle was dirty phoned the caretaker /owner, arranged to get new kettle but didn't get it until the evening before we left. All crockery and cups were dirty from last residents, dishwasher would be handy. No Freezer which was a miss and should be advertised as no freezer. Hoover was really bad and smelled bad and cupboard hoover was in, was filthy. Nice location though.

Very nice cottage with everything you require.

Lovely comfy beds & a cosy sitting room with a really nice coal fire. The most outstanding feature of this cottage is being less than a minute away from the Market Square & the use of a garage (unheard of in a quaint cottage). Views from the bedrooms absolutely breathtaking. Will be booking again for 2020.

Thoroughly enjoyed the holiday break and the cottage exceeded out expectations and will certainly recommend this cottage to others

Loved the location, the cottage was really nice everything that I expected and more.

The owners left a nice wee welcome pack and the WiFi was a great wee bonus. Would book it again.

Lovely clean and comfortable cottage in the perfect location to explore Richmond and surrounding area.

Delicious fish and chips and tasty burgers @ The Kings Head Hotel. Thank you so much for the milk and yummy biscuits.

The cottage on Tower Street, Richmond is centrally located in the market town of Richmond, with its associated shops and facilities.

Potential users of the property need to be aware that the garage - in the words of the information contained in the information folder in the cottages - will take a "standard card". It is not clear what a standard car is? The garage itself has a relatively narrow entrance, and narrows further at its end. The garage was too small for our family car. The information on the website, or when booking through Sykes, makes no reference to the size of the garage. I would suggest that a more accurate description of the garage is that it would accommodate a "small car." The property itself is in fair, rather than good, condition. The appliances in the kitchen are basic. The oven does not have a fan option, the microwave is a minimum size, the fridge has no freezer compartment and the washing machine is approximately half the size of a standard machine. There are no cupboards to store food. There are no drying for facilities for wet clothes, or an iron and ironing board. There are no recycling boxes, or information about to recycle items. All matters that one can work round, but things that one might expect to be available, or information on the matter provided.

Fantastic location!

A great stay over Easter weekend. Everything just as we would expect when booking with Sykes cottages!

The cottage is very comfortable and positioned right in the centre of a lovely town.
