    Location was excellent, next to the swimming pool, riverside walks and the excellent bakery etc at the old Station. Disappointed to have arrival not till 5pm and to be out by 9am, especially with 2 small children. Thanks

    Loved the position by the river and as we had some decent weather it was wonderful to walk through the little gate in the back garden and down to the river bank and the dogs loved to paddle. Richmond is a great town and we also loved the circular walk to Easby Abbey through the woods and along the old railway track. All the bedrooms were a good size and as we were four single ladies it meant that three of us had our own en-suite and one of us had the bathroom for their sole use, wonderful. No waiting around for bathrooms and then there was also the toilet and sink on the ground level which was a blessing. We had an enjoyable day out to Barnards Castle. If I was coming to Richmond again I would definitely book this property again. Thank you

    The only issues we had was with the heating system as the bedroom radiators did not get warm. Eventually I realised on day 4 that the radiator in the hall was overpowering the thermostat and the hall was warm & toasty but the bedrooms cold and uninviting. Once i turned the radiator off in the hall, the house warmed up nicely. Frankley the thermostat is in the wrong place for a house that large.
