Guests say
21 Millgate is a well-equipped, characterful cottage praised for its superb location in Richmond, close to shops, pubs, and scenic walks. Guests appreciate the comfortable setting, cosy living room, and the well-stocked kitchen. While parking can be challenging for larger vehicles, the property's charm and convenience largely compensate for this minor inconvenience.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean and well-kept, though there were isolated comments about dust, dog hair, and the need for a more thorough cleaning in some areas. These seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The cottage's location is highly praised for being central, convenient, and within walking distance to local amenities and attractions. Its proximity to the market place and scenic areas adds to its appeal.
Guests generally regard the cottage as comfortable, with a few remarks about the need for better mattresses and sofa cushions. The positive comments about the property's comfort outweigh these concerns.
The property is well-equipped with a beautiful kitchen and other amenities. However, there are mentions of a non-functional TV and issues with the shower and washing machine, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance.
While guests have mentioned little extras like board games, there is no consistent reference to gifts or special touches that would warrant a score in this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Richmond is beautiful, with so much to do, and 21 Millgate is a fantastic base to explore from. We loved the gorgeous, well-stocked kitchen and the cosy living room with roaring fire. We'll definitely be back - 5 Stars! Richard & Donna Fyfe, Sheffield
