The Boat House Yorkshire Reviews

Shantel

Amazing unique property . Had a great time relaxing and enjoying the wildlife. A wonderful base for walks from the boathouse and only a short drive to Richmond and Barnard Castle. Hope to return one day

Jane

Great few days away. Waking up to the ducks and swans was lovely. Boat house is small and compact but it had everything we needed for the few days we were there. It was very clean. the location was great. Very peaceful. The prosecco and biscuits were a nice surprise on arrival. Made use of the hot tub which does take about 3 hours to warm up.

Gail

What a fabulous place to stay. Boathouse has everything you need for a great stay. You are always welcomed by ducks, swans and other birds. Welcome pack was a lovely touch, as was the phone call telling us to expect email couple of days before going. 5 minutes in,and we we looking for a slot to book again. The Angel Inn is a short walk to the villaRead morege and serves really good meals. Richmond is a couple of miles away with all shops required and plenty places to eat. Highly recommend. Hide

This property is the most tranquil, perfect and idyllic place to lay your head on one of the comfiest bed Ive ever slept on and then to wake up and the ducks and swans greeting you is just AMAZING.

This is a unique location and to wake up to the wildlife on the lake each morning was a delight. Comfortable bed, spacious living/kitchen area with everything to hand. Made for a very relaxing stay with interesting places to visit as well as walks in the surrounding countryside. Bliss.

A little piece of paradise, the Boat House has everything you could need, beautiful interior design and perfectly situated, surrounded by the most amazing bird life, it was very difficult to drag ourselves away to explore Yorkshire and always really lovely to return. The hot tub is an added luxury. We had the most relaxing stay and we will definite ly be returning.
