  • "A thoroughly enjoyable stay at Bay Tree Cottage."

    Karen and Ian's very well appointed cottage, with lovely touches and comfortable sofas and beds, was a pleasure to stay in. We had everything we needed. Welcome pack including wine a lovely touch. Despite a rather wet few days we never even used our car, the walk into town is good for the leg muscles but not overly strenuous. Great walks along the River Swale in both directions, we all loved Hudswell Woods, especially our dog Gem, she also made it to the top of the Castle Tower - great views. Loved exploring all the little hidden streets with their quirky houses. Richmond is a very dog friendly town, almost every shop and pub have dog treats behind the counter and water bowls outside. It was great to come back to such cosy accommodation after a day out. We've stayed in places that haven't felt particularly welcoming, Bay Tree Cottage has a really nice vibe. Highly recommend.

    Hi Nicky and Julie Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, and that Gem did too! We hope to welcome you back to Bay Tree Cottage again in the future. Best Wishes Karen and Ian Property Owner

  • "We can’t recommend Bay tree cottage highly enough!"

    Having stayed in Richmond before, in a lovely cottage that didn’t have vehicular access, I was particularly looking for one that had parking available with no time limit. Bay tree cottage fitted the bill, free parking was available for two vehicles around the Green on a first come first served basis. There is also a car park just at the end of the Green, but we didn’t need to use it. The cottage itself is very well appointed, and had everything we needed and more! It was lovely and clean and had comfortable beds. The furnishings were high quality and in good condition, and the cottage was lovely and warm. Wood and kindling were left for the wood burner, I used it twice in the evenings, and found it to be very easy to light and quick to get hot. We had vehicle problems on our journey to the cottage, Ian was very helpful and recommended his usual garage to us for repair. We have never before had such attentive hosts, we were asked before our arrival, which wine we preferred for our complimentary welcome pack. And received a text en route, to notify us the cottage was ready for us ahead of the 3pm arrival time. Ian also text once we had settled in to ask if there were any problems (there weren’t) and said to let him know if we had any issues with the cottage. Thank you Ian and Karen, for your attention to detail, pride in your cottage, and for going above and beyond any other hosts we have ever had! Best wishes Angie and Warren

    Hi Angie, thank you for your kind words and we are pleased you enjoyed your stay in our holiday cottage, we hope to see you all again, with your cute Italian greyhound. Property Owner

  • "A super little cottage in a quiet, perfect location for exploring Richmond."

    River walks and facilities all within walking distance, and the cottage was spotlessly clean and nicely furnished. Had a great week and would recommend this cottage to anyone.

    Thank you John and Heather, as you say brilliant location for exploring Richmond, we hope you’ll return. We do our own cleaning so we want to make the cottage as clean and tidy as possible. All the best Ian & Karen Clarke. Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage in a great location."

    Communication had been good beforehand so we were fully informed of key arrangements etc. Everything was spotless when we arrived and lots of things which we had packed were provided. Owners had thought of everything including dog bowls and treats. The welcome pack was much appreciated and the owner even texted beforehand to ask our preferred wine which was a nice touch. All in all a very pleasant stay.

    Hi Janet, Thanks for your review, we are always looking to make our guests stay the best they have experienced in Richmond, so we added Sky Sports for those cold nights in. We hope you will return in the future. All the best for 2024. Ian & Karen. Property Owner

  • "A very cosy cottage, warm and with a welcome bottle or red, plus tea, coffee + biscs and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree."

    The cottage is in a lovely situation overlooking the Green and a very short walk to the town (uphill) and to the river and riverside walks (on the flat). Parking is on the lane/road around the Green and was very busy but we did always find a space. We were 2 friends staying, one had a very spacious double bedroom, the other a much smaller one, both comfortable. Super shower over bath and plenty of hot water. Well equipped kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and Richmond is one of the loveliest towns in north Yorkshire.

    Hi Penny, Thank you for your positive feedback, we hope you will come back in the future. We will put in a full length mirror as per your suggestion. Many thanks Karen & Ian Clarke Property Owner

  • "Lovely just absolutely lovely, the cottage was fantastic and Richmond is a great town to visit."

    Walk along the river to the Falls and Batts and enjoy the tranquil views than walk into town and grab some lunch at one of the many Pubs or cafes with great food in all we ate at. Enjoy the market on a Saturday with lots of stalls selling great produce, then back on Sunday for the Artisan Market and enjoy a Sunday lunch in the Town hall Pub (great food). The hosts of Bay Tree were great to with a couple of Texts in the week to make sure all was OK and if you needed anything. Wood for the log burner was also provided which we lit and enjoyed the warn glow of the fire. Just go yourself and enjoy a great place to stay in a lovely doggie friendly town. Mark

About the location

RICHMOND

Barnard Castle 10 miles; Leyburn 12 miles.

Situated at the entrance to Swaledale, the ancient market town of Richmond stands on a prominent hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. Its cobbled streets and narrow alleys or 'wynds' enshrine over nine centuries of busy history and unique character. The town grew up around its castle, a Norman fortress dating back to 1071, famously situated high above the river - indeed the name Richmond is derived from 'Riche-mont' meaning 'strong hill'. Today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed such as the Castle Walk - a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls - or alternatively walk alongside the River Swale where there are parks, safe paddling areas and small waterfalls to enjoy. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The town flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries and the resulting elegant Georgian architecture lines many of the old streets. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round.
