It is located in the heart of the historical and beautiful Georgian market town of Richmond in North Yorkshire and is at the doorstep of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales National Park. This cozy, historic cottage has many unique characteristics typical of the period, such as wooden beam ceilings, solid flagstone ground floor, and, yes, very steep stairs - the bathroom is on the top floor conveniently next to the bedroom. The property feels spacious with rooms on three different floors, which are furnished in a way to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. Just a short walk down Millgate road, literally at the corner, is the impressive 11th-century Richmond Castle, whose 950th anniversary is celebrated last year. There is a stunning view of the Richmond waterfalls from the castle and the River Swale, which is also just 5 minutes from the cottage. From the waterfalls, you can turn left and you can take a lovely stroll along the river to the ruins of Easby Abbey, which was founded in 1152 and was a subject of the British artist JMW Turner. Turning right, you will soon reach the National Trusts Hudswell Woods. Another treat on this path is an award-winning pub, the George and Dragon with one of the most beautiful beer gardens in the country. For a more cultured evening, you could take in a show at the Georgian Theatre Royal, or check what is on at The Station, a community enterprise with live concerts, an art gallery, an artisan café, a local brewery, and a cinema. There are also several pubs, groceries, independent shops, and cafes to choose from, in and around the market square. There is also a lively local food market here every Saturday. Please note, as this is a 1700-century cottage the stairs are steep. Therefore, the cottage may not be suitable for those with any mobility issues. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils -

It is cosy, clean and has everything you need on the doorstep. The parking was fine, a lovely walk along the river to and from the car park, and a weekly fee that was very reasonable, just be aware of the hill (as flatlanders it took a bit of getting used to!). The stairs in the cottage are steep but manageable if you have no mobility issues, they are in keeping with the age of the house. The shower was lovely and the bed very comfy. Overall, we had a great stay in Richmond and explored the surrounding area, returning each afternoon to a comfy, cosy base. Richmond itself is great and you couldn’t stay much closer to the castle! Great communication with the owner. We would stay again. ##### Rosie H.

Description of property is accurate and also comes with everything you need. The location is a 60 second walk from the main town square , but it’s still very quiet, as there is very little through traffic on millgate. Great walks round castle walls and along the side of the river, close by. Will be back again. ##### Neil M.
