  A great cottage in a beautiful village.

  The cottage is well appointed and spacious and really home from home. The owners were fantastic, and nothing too much trouble. Other than a pub, the village does not have a local shop, so ensure you take what you need, or buy essentials when you're out and about as there is nowhere to walk to for a loaf of bread or milk. However, our welcome pack from the owners meant we had plenty in! The lane outside the property is narrow, so if you have a very large vehicle or are a nervous driver, I would advise parking nearby. Other than to load and unload I parked my car on the adjacent road and never had trouble finding space. It was only 300 yards away, so not a big deal for me. It's a great base to explore the local area. The train station at nearby Darlington gets you North to Durham or South to York, so you can travel further afield. We liked the Mainsgill Tea Room on the A66 and Easby Abbey is worth a trip for the echo stone. You can park in Richmond and walk the mile or park in Easby itself. We were lucky enough to have beautiful sunny evenings, so met the neighbours and local dog walkers. It really is a serene part of the world and oh so quiet! Sykes were top notch with regard to email communications sending us information regards the property.

  Very lovely cottage, downstairs a little smaller than appears on the photos.

  Very well presented, a few bits of equipment missing (like large pan - we bought one) that you tend to find in cottages being rented for the first time, but lots of very nice touches including welcome basket. Lovely village, with lots of places to visit around within 5-20 miles. Garden/yard is in front of cottage and across very quiet road, however was not quite so convenient as having rear garden for the dog, not clear on the cottage description on the site. Shower in main bathroom, very low and not really useable for anyone over 5'8", however bath does have shower attachment. Overall a good stay and would recommend

  Beautiful, cosy, warm cottage, with everything we could want or need.

  Very clean and well presented with comfy beds. The owners left us a wonderful welcome pack which we really enjoyed! Loved the area, the village is very interesting, we enjoyed looking at all the different properties in the village. Met lots of nice people on our dog walks, the locals are very friendly. We enjoyed our trip in to Richmond, we went to the panto at the Georgian Theatre, well worth a visit. There are lots of places to go and eat not far from the village. We will definitely return. Thank you, Sandra, Trish and Karen.

  We loved the cottage.

  It was very comfortable and tastefully kitted out. The welcome pack was great and much appreciated. We were very lucky to have wonderful sunny weather all week and it was great to be able to sit outside with a drink. The flowers on the patio were lovely. Would recommend Richmond and Barnard Castle for a wander around. Both had interesting individual shops and cafes. The Bowes Museum was was worth a visit. If you're looking for a good place to eat would recommend' Rustiqe' French Bistro in Richmond. Food was delicious.

  Excellent, cosy cottage - beautiful decor, superbly equipped (great smart tv) and brilliantly clean.

  Full en suite wet room with second toilet, shower and sink (small room but perfectly formed) was an unexpected bonus. Village was pretty and made up for the lack of garden to walk our dog on. Safe on street car parking was always available within a 1 minute walk if not enough space out front. We enjoyed visiting both the dales and coast from here - numerous day trip excursions within 50 minutes drive. Close by Richmond and its awesome castle was well worth a visit too. Will almost certainly come back another time!
