On the northern banks of the River Swale, east of Richmond, is the village of Brompton-on-Swale. The settlement name, which appears in the Domesday Book, is said to have come from the old English words "broom" (the shrub) and "tun," which imply farmstead or village. A traditional bar and a village store can be found in the area today. Pleasant strolls can be taken around the hamlet and along the river. Three miles away is the historic market town of Richmond, which preserves nearly nine centuries of active history and distinctive character in its cobblestoned streets and little lanes, or "wynds." The town was founded around the castle, a 1071-year-old Norman fortress. The Castle Walk, a stunning terrace walk beneath the castle walls, and the River Swale Path, which features parks, safe paddling spots, and small waterfalls, are just two of the fantastic hikes Richmond offers today. Brompton-on-Swale is ideally situated for exploring this picturesque area because it is sandwiched between the Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Moors National Parks.

The cleaning company that is used in my opinion is not good. When we arrived l checked the garden for possible escape routs for my dogs and had to pick up about 10 dog poos left in the garden. We also discovered that the previous occupants had also put dog poo unbaged in the bin which was not taken out. Food was left in the microwave. A half drunk bottle of wine was shoved behind the sofa. Dog hairs were in the bath. The floor and skirting was dirty throughout. The kitchen pots had to be washed before we could use them. Door handles felt grubby, the list goes on. For the money we paid for the 4 nights we expected better. Such a shame.

The cottage was lovely and well furnished. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. I do agree with other reviews that the cleanliness could have been a lot better but we cleaned around a bit ourselves anyway. We didnât find anything that bad to make us leave the place. We did avoid the garden as there was a lot of dog muck, this really should be checked before people arrive. Again, didnât bother us too much as we were out and about for most of the day. The cottage is on a busy road but the traffic was not an issue for us. I would maybe suggest a gate being put on the entrance as dogs could potentially run out into the road. Wonderful location for visiting nearby places. Would highly recommend Richmond, Ripley and Northallerton. Lovely, quaint places. These were recommended to us by the owner of the cottage, who, was a genuinely nice bloke. This cottage really does have so much potential. Decent cleaners are needed and a few issues to be rectified.

.... But it wasn't. We left after two hours. The Owner promised he did his best but clearly doesn't ( I have seen a review from after our visit with the same complaints - Sheena Aug) On arrival we set up shop as usual, but things were clearly not right. The place was dirty, with dust and dirt everywhere. There was a dead fly on one of the the dining plates, the glasses and crockery in the cupboards were filthy and the interiors of all windows has cob webs. I tried to get on with it and sat outside with a beer, but was unable due to the racket from the traffic thundering past less than six feet away and also put off by the copious amount of dog mess in the overgrown grass. The grass area has clearly been used as an unattended paddock for dogs as the french window was covered in scratches and needs replacing. The final nail was finding an infestation of maggots in the bath. Not just one or two, they were dropping out of a light fitting at a rate of about 15 per half an hour . Guessing there was a dead "something" in the roof space. Apologies to Sheena (Aug review), I shouldn't have left it this long to review. The owner was very upset and promised to sort his poor cleaning service and get his pest controller in but he clearly didn't do a good job. I suggest that he accepts that he is no good at managing, comes out of the cottage business and turns Dere Cottage back into a cow shed !!!!! ( assume the cows can put up with the noise) July 23 - Holiday ruined by Dere Cottage
