  We spent a weekend at "The Stang Hideaway" in August, for a relaxing 3-night stay with my partner and our little dog.

  The views were gorgeous, and the location was as peaceful as a library on a snowy day. But there were a few surprises that gave us a good laugh! First off, the wine cooler was ice-cold—unlike the fridge, which was warm enough to double as a sauna . If you’re planning to brew some coffee, don't forget to bring your own coffee pods; the same goes for dishwasher tablets as there was non available and the free washing up liquid was limited to a very small bottle (use sparingly). The "fully equipped" kitchen was a bit like a game of culinary hide-and-seek, with basic items playing hard to get. And if you’re using the breakfast bar or that “sumptuous” sofa, be prepared to get very close to your partner—like, "hope-you-really-love-each-other" close, perfect if your on a romantic break! Now, let’s talk Wi-Fi. Remember the days of dial-up internet? If you’re feeling nostalgic, you’re in luck—this Wi-Fi will take you right back to the 90s with its charmingly slow speeds which can cause the TV to frequently show the circle of death when it tries to catch up, perhaps it was intentional to create a romantic atmosphere. The outside decking is lovely, but it could use a gate to be truly dog-friendly. And don't be surprised if you step outside to find a crowd in the treehouse—it’s open to everyone on the park, so you might end up with an audience for your morning coffee or romantic sunset. All in all, it was clean and the tranquility was delightful, the stay didn’t quite match up to the price given there’s a lot of competition in the area. Here’s hoping for some improvements in the future, but hey, we still enjoyed the peace and quiet and lovely views!

  March 2025 As a group of 10, we hired the whole Sunday School Spa and I have to say, it was fantastic. The location in the centre of Richmond is perfect and the parking is a breeze and free of charge! Alternatively there is a huge car park at the end of the green, with a nominal charge of course. 5 minute walk up the hill into the main square with loads of restaurants, pubs, shops and places for food shopping. The own Emma met us on arrival and showed us around, making sure we knew how everything worked. She was very lovely and answered any questions we had. She noted that if we had any issues, she was just a call away as she lived close by. The full property is huge, with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 lounges, big dining area, outdoor hot tub, sauna and cold plunge. It's immaculately presented, with super comfy sofas, there's a wood burning fire in the front room for cozy night in. Multiple TV's with satellite connection and great wi-fi. We really enjoyed staying there and will come back again for sure.

  A beautiful cottage in a beautiful picturesque village, served with an excellent pub- great food, beer & friendly service. Sadly they only serve food Thursday Friday Saturdays & Sunday lunch- but when they do - WOW! The cottage has a great modern kitchen diner, a cosy living room with modern log burner. Both double bedrooms are clean, spacious & served with an adequate shower room fed by a combi boiler. The garden is a nice sun soaked spot to sit in & is secure for any dogs, unless yours will jump a 3ft wall! This is a great base located just a few minutes walk to the pub & huge village green with a babbling stream to the side, the village easily accessed just a short drive from the A66. Richmond being a short 10 minute drive, Barnard castle around 20 minutes & Raby castle about the same. There are some nice walks for you to explore with or without a dog in the village & the nearby towns/villages. Definitely recommend this cottage & location.

  The property is beautiful and very clean!

  !! The bathroom is gorgeous and the bathtub is a key feature. I loved having the bathroom door open to the outside overlooking the wheat field while soaking in the tub. Bed was very comfortable. Only a couple of things that need a little work. The owners would benefit from staying, cooking and cleaning there for a few days as there are some essentials missing such as dishcloths, dish rack to dry dishes, dish washer tablets and we may have needed more than one roll of loo roll. It didn’t hinder our stay too much, but it lost a bit of that luxury feel someone has worked hard to make. The other thing is, the photos are a little deceptive and don’t show you are attached to a caravan park at the back. It’s still secluded and very quite but attached to a caravan park that appears to hold people’s mobile caravans. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend but would encourage the owners to look at little essentials.

  We had an excellent stay with my parents, an 18 month old little girl and my parents Labrador.

  We were visiting my parents in Lincolnshire from Australia where we live now. We stayed for 2 nights and it was exactly what we were looking for. The place is very clean, easy to move around with a dog and a toddler!. We cooked each evening in and had great meals in the lounge. The lounge is very cosy. We stayed in mid 30 degree summer heat but it would be amazing for a winter break too. The flag was cool with the windows open. We had sundowners on the green just outside the flat. Easy access to all amenities - post office across the road and 3 pubs and a great ice cream shop within 5 mins walks. Great place to locate yourself for access to the dales. V good amenities for dogs. The garden is great which is a short walk around the corner outside. Tracey was very communicative and an excellent host - even sending our little girls toy rabbit to us after leaving it there!! Would highly recommend!!
