Stylish and comfortable, this cottage or apartment if one prefers, was perfect in every way for the week. All amenities and appliances ready to hand and comfortable, cosy and easy to keep tidy. A solo traveller, I found its accessibility by public transport superb, would need a car only to travel further afield as there is much to see and do, literally on the doorstep. Eateries and good pubs abound and local produce for home cooking, delicious and so easy to get. Sights, sounds and friendly folk ...

“Grace Cottage is a good base for ...”

Grace Cottage is a good base for 1-2 people, set in a central position in the town, close to shops, cafes & restaurants. We arrive by train & bus, so don't have the problems with finding a parking spot which seems to cause a bit of hassle to others. Bus stops are just around the corner. We used The Little White Bus service to take us to other parts of Swaledale, and enjoyed great walking, up and down the dale, between villages.

“Parking in Richmond is difficult ...”

Parking in Richmond is difficult and the local parking wardens are "enthusiastic". We had to leave our car about 15mins walk away in the main dispolay and pay car park, including overnight.

There were a few minor issues the bed was extremely squeaky and made sleeping very difficult as I am a light sleeper. There could of been a welcome pack or teas/coffee and a pint of milk or something like that, also the shower needs to be a power shower, it took me a long time to shower, I don't really like wasting too much water. Other than that is was a really nice property and although the layout was quirky its was fun easy to use.

“Centrally located, very well ...”

Centrally located, very well equipped, and just what we expected. Richmond is a hidden Yorkshire jewel! The fabulous Autumn weather was tremendous. The only challenge is the 2 hourly parking location change, but we always got space very near the cottage in the evening.

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.
