Orchard House Richmond Reviews

Christine
The holiday cottage was absolutely perfect for all our family - we immediately felt relaxed and at home. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were fine and functional, the kitchen with dining area, and the lounge the same. The games room with pool table and assortment of box games was fun. And the beautiful private garden was fab - lovely sunbaRead morething area, a pretty old 'orangery' type conservatory for relaxing in, and a fire pit and fish pond too. The highlight was the hot tub. Superb home! Hide
Jenessa
Beautiful cottage! Plenty of space so you never feel on top of each other even when there is 8 of you! Caroline was super helpful and accommodating. Also gave us restaurant recommendations which were a five minute walk away. Absolutely beautiful couldnt have had a better hen weekend. Would absolutely recommend and return!
Lauren
Absolutely beautiful property with so many lovely touches! Perfect base for a family getaway with something for all ages groups. Super close to centre of Richmond also. We had a lovely weekend and would definitely recommend orchard house!
Iolanda
We had a great time at Orchard House, house as lovely as the photographs, we were a party of 7 and the house never felt crowded, it was very spacious. We had great weather too, enjoying the garden spaces, hot tub and games room. Richmond, North Yorkshire captured our hearts, with lots to do in the area too. Caroline was the perfect host in the perf ect house! Thank you.
James
Had a fantastic stay at Orchard House, clean, homely, and well equipped. Fantastic gardens and walking distance to lovely pubs, shops and restaurants.
Carolyn
Wonderful quirky property in a great location. Lovely spaces for all to come together but also loads of quiet and beautiful nooks for everyone to find their own space. This is our first in town cottage and it worked brilliantly with our now grown kids - things to do on foot from the doorstep but the house and garden are so well screened that you fe el away from it all once you close the door. Shout out to owner Caroline who made us feel so welcome and was an absolute local guru!
Jane
Excellent location and good amount of space
Melanie
Stayed with 8 adults to celebrate a 60th birthday. House is lovely & in a great location. Was very clean throughout. The owner was very approachable & could be reached easily if any problems. Had a wonderful stay.
Diane
Excellent high quality cottage, very well equipped. Quiet but central location with 10min walk into town. Would highly recommend.
Ian
We really enjoyed the holiday in a fab location within Richmond. We did find it a little difficult with little ones being over 3 floors but that equally allowed some handy separation for the kids at bed times. We had a really lovely family holiday and found plenty to do, the weather was also kind which always helps. The owners were extremely helpfu l and really bent over backwards to ensure we had what we needed...lovely memories for summer 2022. Many thanks.
Andrea
Our stay was brilliant very comfortable. Lots of room.
Sarah
Amazing cottage, so well equipped. The host Caroline has thought of absolutely everything. We found the cottage to be very clean and in an excellent location with only a 2 minute walk into the centre of Richmond. Our one and only negative would be that the garden was not ideal for crawling/toddling babies, we couldnt really relax as there is a very low wall with a pretty significant drop at the other side. This however would not deter us from staying again.
Paul
Myself, Partner and grown up children with their respect Partners stayed for a week at O.H. We were celebrating my 70th birthday. We had a great week and the weather was fantastic. The ladies were in the hot tub every night. The house was only a 10min. Walk from the quaint Market Town of Richmond which had so much to offer. Many walks for those inc lined and much to see and do. An excellent place for exploring Yorkshire and its many attractions. All in all a very special break, thank you Caroline
Jane
Simply Wonderful Stay 7 of us stayed for a School friends 50th Birthday get together - we used all the communal rooms, pool competition, fuse ball knockout, lounge to to sit & catch up & watch a movie, hot tub in the evening for more nattering. Walking distance to the heart of the town, Saturday market, Afternoon Tea at the Kings Head, Sunday River Walk, then a Sunday Lunch at Heifer in Scorton Full of comforts from home, clean, well furnished, highly recommend - thanks C x
Shaun
We were a party of 6 (3 adult couples) and had a great weekend, the cottage is spacious, really well equipped and in a great location.

Caroline is fantast always at hand to help. The house is in a perfect location for walking, drinking and eating out, but you don't need to go out there is lots of room in the house and garden. We stayed in December it's great going in the hot tub at this time of year. The house is very warm and the lay out is perfect. 10/10 Caroline

Perfectly situated in Richmond, its a lovely place, spacious and would work for groups of adults and families holidaying. Large garden with an amazing hot tub and plenty of places you can go get some quiet time to read as well if you want to. Walking distance from just about anything worth seeing in Richmond and the supermarket without feeling like your central. Couldnt recommend more highly.

Big Sheep - EX39 5AP
about 10 Miles
This is a recommended day out for families with young children visiting the Bedale area of Yorkshire.  Visit the farm and receive a warm welcome as well as a guided tour.  You will have the chance to bottle feed the lambs, bath a pig and handle some of the smaller animals.  Kids will love the big sandpit and the outdoor play area. There is also a cafe and indoor play area for when the weather is not on your side.
Lightwater Valley - HG4 3HT
about 16 Miles
Situated in the Ripon area of North Yorkshire this popular theme park makes a fantastic day out for the whole family.  The more daring will love the big and thrilling rides such as Raptor Attack, The Ultimate and Trauma Tower.  For the little ones there are some excellent attractions such as Flying Camels, Dodgems and a Magic Wheel.  Toddlers will like the Dragon Boats and the Lightwater Express amongst other things. There are over 40 rides and attractions in total and we think this is excellent value for money too.  If you book your tickets in advance online you can save even more money and beat the queues.
Fountains Abbey - HG4 3DY
about 20 Miles
This is an outstanding world heritage site located close to Ripon in the North Yorkshire area. Nature lovers will be in their element with an abundance of wide open spaces to explore and there are special guided tours for families.  Some of the highlights may include seeing wild deer and bats during your visit.  The grounds are fantastic to wander round but there is also an Elizabethan Mansion, Victorian Church, Georgian Water Garden and the finest example of Cistercian Abbey ruins in the country - Well worth a visit!
