About this property

When mealtimes call, cook up a storm in the contemporary kitchen and enjoy a meal at the dining table, whilst a shared rear patio with furniture is an ideal space for breakfast in the sunshine. This property houses two well-presented bedrooms and a bathroom where guests can take a quick shower or enjoy a soak amongst the bubbles, so choose between two doubles and cosy up for the night. Richmond is a delightful town in North Yorkshire, with the centre only a brief stroll from the property. Richmond houses a wealth of tasty eateries and pubs, so guests can dine out before stocking up on essentials at the local convenience store or supermarket; the charming Finkle Street is dotted with independent cafés, butchers, clothing shops, restaurants, and a Post Office. The town also offers a selection of attractions and exciting things to do and see, including walks beside the River Swale, Richmond castle and Easby abbey, Richmond Falls, The Station, and the option to try out a game or two at Richmond Yorks Golf Club. Travelling over the bridge, guests can reach Billy Bank Woods, a haven for wildlife spotting and exploring, whilst Bay Tree Cottage is also an ideal stopping point for coast-to-coast walkers. Further from the property you will find the fantastic Yorkshire Dales National Park containing a wealth of walks, mountain biking trails and bird watching opportunities. Locations within the region include Wensley Waterfall, Aysgarth where there is a waterfall, walk, quaint village and visitor centre, and Calver Hill. Guests can also visit the North Yorkshire Nation Park where walks around Roseberry Topping and Captain Cooks Monument await, as well as The Wainstones and Ingleby Incline. Enjoy all of this and so much more with a stay at the charming Bay Tree Cottage.

Situated at the entrance to Swaledale, the ancient market town of Richmond stands on a prominent hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. Its cobbled streets and narrow alleys or 'wynds' enshrine over nine centuries of busy history and unique character. The town grew up around its castle, a Norman fortress dating back to 1071, famously situated high above the river - indeed the name Richmond is derived from 'Riche-mont' meaning 'strong hill'. Today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed such as the Castle Walk - a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls - or alternatively walk alongside the River Swale where there are parks, safe paddling areas and small waterfalls to enjoy. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The town flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries and the resulting elegant Georgian architecture lines many of the old streets. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round.
