The cottage has been tastefully and stylish modernised with comfort and modern amenities in mind. The bedroom was noise free, cosy, cool and with a comfortable bed....just the way I like it. Everything you needed was available in the kitchen and having a table to eat at also makes it practical whether you are cooking or getting a take away. The location was close enough to the town centre but far enough away you didn't get lots of noise. We had a very restful break and would definitely recommend for a couple.

Well placed upside down cottage to make the most of the views of Richmond Castle. Close to the town centre and restaurants. We had no problem parking on Frenchgate

Just had a wonderful stay at this beautiful apartment. It is exceptionally clean, modern, and comfortable, and came fully equipped with every amenity we needed during our trip. The location is absolutely fantasticâsituated just moments from the town centre and within easy walking distance of everything. We also appreciated that parking outside was readily available when we arrived at 6:00 pm. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again!
