Overview
Property code: OC-81390

This elegant townhouse, in the bustling market town of Richmond, sleeps ten guests and two furry friends. Situated just on the fringe of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to dog walks in the area. You’ll also be near some fabulous paw-friendly attractions, including Thorp Perrow Arboretum (15 miles) and Richmond Castle (0.5 miles).

 

Set over three floors, this stylish Georgian property benefits from a fantastic location, right in the heart of the town. The house boasts two lounge areas, meaning its easy for you and the hounds to find a quiet little spot to unwind after a busy day. In the evening, rustle up a hearty meal in the stylish kitchen, and either congregate in the spacious dining area or head outside for a night of good food and laughter under the stars. The large, south-facing patio is the ideal place to relax with a book, whilst the hounds enjoy a siesta in the sunshine.

 

Thorp Perrow Arboretum is a tranquil and peaceful spot. Pop the pups on a lead and wander around the 100 acres, marvelling at some of England’s largest and rarest trees, before grabbing a bite to eat in the tearoom (woofers are welcome in the outdoor seating area). Immerse yourself in history at Richmond Castle. You and the hounds can explore this fascinating Norman fortress, before sitting down for a picnic overlooking the picturesque River Swale. On a hot day, the shady woodlands at Hudswell Wood National Trust (1.5 miles) are a great option. Again, you can enjoy a picnic by the river, as well as one of the four colour-coded walks and a spot of birdwatching.

We had a family get together May bank holiday weekend The cottage is well equipped with the games room being enjoyed by everyone. The parking area for 3 cars and the use of the garage space was a bonus. It is situated within a few minutes of the town near all amenities. We visited the station and enjoyed looking round the various shops and stoppingRead more at the cafe and the micro brewery. Overall we found Richmond a lovely place to visit with friendly people in all areas we went. We enjoyed a lovely meal in the Morro lounge and Sunday lunch in the kings head, both dog friendly pubs as most are. We will certainly return to Richmond and would definitely use this cottage again Hide

Perfectly located within walking distance of the town. Perfect for large family or friend gatherings. The place was clean, the beds comfortable and plenty of space for everybody. A lovely large dining room where everyone can eat together.

A great property in a perfect location it is only the cleanliness that let it down. Although it was generally ok the kitchen had not been cleaned properly for some time. When I opened the top of the middle rail of the window in the kitchen I found it was tacky with grease from cooking as was the radio. Also when I left I checked under my bed and foRead moreund a dirty sock from a previous occupant plus other bits of paper. Disappointing as it makes you wonder what else had been missed! Hide

Perfect location within walking distance to the town. The house needs updating and a thorough clean. The pictures on the website are not a true reflection of space. Dust and dog hairs everywhere. The beds being made was the only thing that had been done before our arrival it had definitely not been cleaned.

Outside could do with a clean up , appreciate its winter and maybe in summer it would look different. Bathrooms all lovely and ideal for a large party like we were.

Our second visit to Pottergate, perfect location and has everything you could need for a large party get together. Plenty space both inside and out as we were able to enjoy a couple of BBQs as weather was kind.

Hi A large house ideal for family gatherings, plenty of space and well equipped. Richmond centre is on the doorstep, with plenty of pubs and shops to browse, lovely river at the bottom of the hill which is very steep.
