The cathedral city of Durham is just over half an hour away and is certainly worth a day trip to explore, as is historic Barnard Castle and Bowes Museum.

Knight’s Watch located just off the Market Place has shops cafes pubs and restaurants on the doorstep. The property is very well equipped for self catering. Comfortable beds.Whilst the property has no allocated parking, disc provided for parking in “disc zones” for 2 hours with overnight parking from 6pm to 8am. Short walk to long stay carpark if staying in Richmond during day.

The appartment is in an ideal location. It's beautifully equipped with everything you need for a break away.The weather was bad on the day my daughter and I arrived and it was very cold inside the appartment . It took hours for it to warm up as the electric heaters had not been put on before our arrival time and it is a large open space.This was the only negative.The beds were lovely and very comfortable. The shower was good. If I we were going to Richmond again, I would certainly try and stay here again.
