Guests that stayed at this property said
The majority of guests found the cottage to be clean and well-presented, contributing to a high cleanliness rating. However, one review mentioning a smell of dampness and a tired decor slightly lowers the score.
The location is consistently praised for being well-placed for walks and proximity to Richmond, with ample parking and easy access to local sites. This results in a high score for location.
Comfort receives a good score as guests generally find the cottage cosy and well-presented. Some guests, however, have noted issues with the seating, which affects the overall comfort rating.
Facilities are deemed adequate by most, with a well-equipped kitchen and good WiFi. Points are deducted for comments on the need for maintenance, such as the suggestion for more comfortable seating and a cleaner carpet.
Guests mention thoughtful gestures like the provision of tea, coffee, and milk. While these are appreciated, it is important to note that such gifts are not guaranteed and may vary with each stay.
About this property
A delightful, stone-built mid-terrace cottage, in a pretty courtyard development in the grounds of the guesthouse, on the edge of the bustling market town of Richmond. Foxglove Cottage, converted from a former coach house, provides lovely accommodation in a peaceful setting, just 15 minutes' walk from the town centre, and 10 minutes' walk from the river and the magnificent rolling countryside of Swaledale. The property has an open-plan living area, and the warm and comfortable sitting area has doors leading to the sunny patio, perfect for sitting out and enjoying an evening meal. Discover Richmond's cobbled streets and architecture, featuring an array of superb inns and restaurants and several intriguing museums. Explore the fascinating Norman castle, peruse the colourful stalls at the weekly market, or take a leisurely stroll along the picturesque River Swale. A superb base for exploring Swaledale, the Yorkshire Dales National Park, York Minster and the North York Moors, making this the ideal location for touring the North of England. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1053052, 1053055 and 1051475, together sleeping up to 16 people.
Richmond sits on a prominent hilltop at the entrance to Swaledale and north of the River Swale. This ancient market town still features classic cobbled streets, narrow alleys and a wealth of character, with the town expanding around the Norman castle which dates back to 1701. Visit the weekly market or the monthly farmers' market as well as heading to many of the pubs, shops and cafés dotted about.

Very clean. There was everything we could need there. Loved the boot tray for muddy boots and a dog towel. Perfect location for travelling, space for parking on site. Gentle walk into Richmond, plenty of nature walks too.
