Guests say
York House in Richmond offers stunning views and a peaceful village location, ideal for walks and relaxation. Guests appreciate the spaciousness, warm welcome from the host, and the property's potential. While some updates and additional kitchen items are suggested, the charm and convenience of the property make it a favourable choice for large groups and families.
The property generally meets cleanliness expectations, but some guests noted unclean dishes and surfaces, and a feeling that the house wasn't thoroughly professionally cleaned. However, bedding was clean and most found the accommodation satisfactory.
The location is highly praised for its stunning countryside views, peacefulness, and proximity to Richmond. The local pub and walks are also appreciated, making it an excellent spot for sightseeing and relaxation.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the house spacious. However, some concerns about the temperature control in showers and the small size of one bedroom suggest room for improvement in overall comfort.
While the house is equipped with sufficient crockery and cutlery, guests have pointed out the need for more kitchen essentials and better maintenance of facilities like lighting and bathroom fixtures. The presence of a log burner and ample space are positives.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to score this category. Guests should note that such amenities are not guaranteed.

A superb base for exploring Swaledale, the Yorkshire Dales National Park and the North York Moors, making York House an ideal location for touring this wonderful area. Hudswell is a small ribbon village sitting on top of the valley above the River Swale, located just two miles from its better-known neighbour of Richmond. Set in delightful rolling countryside, the village boasts a mixture of lovely old houses and an interesting local pub. Like many village pubs, it recently fell on difficult times, so the villagers clubbed together and now run it as a ’Community Pub Initiative’.
Discover the ancient market town of Richmond, which stands to the north of the River Swale. Its cobbled streets, narrow alleys and architecture embody nine centuries of history and unique character. The town grew up around its castle, and today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed by the castle or alongside the River Swale.
York House is ideal for those seeking a comfortable and relaxing holiday and offers a perfect base for exploring all of North Yorkshire including the Heritage Coastline and the medieval city of York. There are historic sites to visit at Rievaulx and Fountains Abbey, stately homes at Nunnington Hall, Castle Howard, and numerous quaint villages with traditional inns serving good food and local ales. Family fun can be found at Flamingo Land, Lightwater Valley Theme Park and Go Ape in the Dalby Forest. You can find miles of sandy beaches at the coastal resorts of Scarborough, Whitby and Filey. Shop, pub and restaurant 300 yards.

We had a lovely weeks holiday at York House . John the owner gave us a warm welcome and showed us where everything was. The house was lovely and warm ( which we needed with the snow and ice we had while we were staying there) , the walks we went on with our dog straight from the door were great and enjoyed by us all . The view from the back garden of the house is stunning. Richmond and Catterick Garrison are both less then 10 minutes drive from the property and have plenty of shops , pubs and takeaways if needed but when you get back into Hudswell, it is just peace and quiet.
