  We can’t recommend Bay tree cottage highly enough!

  Having stayed in Richmond before, in a lovely cottage that didn’t have vehicular access, I was particularly looking for one that had parking available with no time limit. Bay tree cottage fitted the bill, free parking was available for two vehicles around the Green on a first come first served basis. There is also a car park just at the end of the Green, but we didn’t need to use it. The cottage itself is very well appointed, and had everything we needed and more! It was lovely and clean and had comfortable beds. The furnishings were high quality and in good condition, and the cottage was lovely and warm. Wood and kindling were left for the wood burner, I used it twice in the evenings, and found it to be very easy to light and quick to get hot. We had vehicle problems on our journey to the cottage, Ian was very helpful and recommended his usual garage to us for repair. We have never before had such attentive hosts, we were asked before our arrival, which wine we preferred for our complimentary welcome pack. And received a text en route, to notify us the cottage was ready for us ahead of the 3pm arrival time. Ian also text once we had settled in to ask if there were any problems (there weren’t) and said to let him know if we had any issues with the cottage. Thank you Ian and Karen, for your attention to detail, pride in your cottage, and for going above and beyond any other hosts we have ever had! Best wishes Angie and Warren

  Had a lovely week in the perfect Bay Tree Cottage.

  Set in a pretty and historic location , very close to the river Swale and below the beautiful Richmond castle. The lively and interesting town was a short walk away but the area around the cottage was tranquil. The cottage was warm , welcoming and stylish with everything you need for a self catering break away from it all. The beds were comfortable and we slept really well. We walked from the cottage with the Swale as a guide in both directions and had a daily visit to the falls . Richmond itself is a delight with a sense of time standing still in the very best ways. Brilliant places to eat , lovely shops and we found the local people to be very friendly. The cottage provided a great base for trips further afield and Barnard Castle and High Force are a must to visit as well as the beautiful Middleham with its horse racing stables and country pubs. Some holiday cottages have that bit more and feel like a retreat from the 9-5 and Bay Tree definitely had that vibe. The hosts were super helpful and friendly and very generous in providing extras to make the holiday. They are surely very proud of Bay Tree Cottage ,we did not want to leave .

  Lodge was ok.

  Listing states there is a car parking space to rear of the property but no one advised us that this was not available due to being built. Had to park few metres down which was inconvenient to unload / load car and carry everything to the lodge. Was with my elderly mum so at night it was very dark with little lighting so walking on unsteady pathway was difficult for her. Spent a lot of time trying to get sound out of the TV. It has a sound bar attached but didn’t give instructions that you had to press the source button 3 times for it to connect to Tv. Very frustrating. The lodge would benefit from automatic security light outside . They do tell you to put porch light on for the dark but this is something you don’t think about when you leave at the beginning of the day. Overall the lodge was clean and comfortable, plenty of towels were given and a good information book on local amenities and attractions.

  A thoroughly enjoyable stay at Bay Tree Cottage.

  Karen and Ian's very well appointed cottage, with lovely touches and comfortable sofas and beds, was a pleasure to stay in. We had everything we needed. Welcome pack including wine a lovely touch. Despite a rather wet few days we never even used our car, the walk into town is good for the leg muscles but not overly strenuous. Great walks along the River Swale in both directions, we all loved Hudswell Woods, especially our dog Gem, she also made it to the top of the Castle Tower - great views. Loved exploring all the little hidden streets with their quirky houses. Richmond is a very dog friendly town, almost every shop and pub have dog treats behind the counter and water bowls outside. It was great to come back to such cosy accommodation after a day out. We've stayed in places that haven't felt particularly welcoming, Bay Tree Cottage has a really nice vibe. Highly recommend.

  Gorgeous cottage in the most perfect of locations.

  Right near the centre of Richmond, which is a lovely market town with Castle but with beautiful walks right from the door. You could easily spend time here without a car. The cottage has been carefully renovated and is appointed with high quality furnishings. The underfloor heating and Woodburn would make it so cosy in the winter. In the summer it has access to a lovely little courtyard garden. It is dog friendly and the owners have thought of everything you need to keep your dog happy and have installed a soft stair gate to keep them downstairs which is so helpful. We stayed with our two children and it was a great size for us as a family. Would also suit two couples for a walking weekend. I can't recommend this cottage highly enough. The owners were so friendly, warm and welcoming and provided a lovely welcome pack. We hope to return. Thank you for the perfect stay. X
