Sue

Amazingly comfortable house, great location and a beautiful secret garden! In the garden the plants are in such good condition, it's been thought out so well. The hot tub of course is great, but just sitting and reading in the walled garden was very peaceful. We parked our car opposite house and didn't use it until we left. Lots of choices to walk Read moreout into the countryside. Richmond has the market, shops, teashop, coffee sops and pubs and restaurants. Delis and supermarkets. Perfect! Hide

Claire

The cottage is beautiful and in a great location. The welcome gifts were a nice touch! The free parking spaces were hardly ever available and because of the 2 hour limitation on the disc parking we had to use the pay and display car parks a couple of times.

Nicholas

Our second visit we love this cottage ideal location for staying in the Beautiful town of Richmond and close to the stunning Dales countryside. The cottage itself is excellent, we would recommend this to anyone.

Caroline

A truly beautiful house thats worth the five star rating! We stayed during a particularly cold snap of January weather so the log burner and hot tub really came into their own The beds are big and comfortable, even the dining chairs are comfortable enough to linger around the table with a glass or two. Richmond is by far our favourite town. It has Read moresomething for everyone, foodies, walkers, history buffs Well be back Hide

This is a little Gem. House is very comfortable, with everything you need. The cottage is warm and cosy, especially with the log burner going. The hot tub is a real treat! Superbly located and a place we will return to.

David

Great location for a visit to Richmond and the surrounding area. Lots of facilities in the town itself within easy walking , so perfect for dining out. Cottage is comfortable, clean and equipped to a very good standard. We enjoyed our stay thank you.

John

A beautiful Yorkshire cottage in Richmond. Well styled, equipped and very comfortable. The Hot Tub made it though!! Superb, wouldn't hesitate on booking it again. And Richmond is stunning.

Alison

Had a wonderful week staying at Secret Garden loved the hot tub after lots of walks around Richmond. Thank u for the welcome pack much appreciated. The beds were so so comfortable. So much to see & do around Richmond without using your car. Look forward to coming again .

Stephen

Plenty of places to eat within easy walking distance. We visited Capri Italian twice and would definitely recommend, the owner is a friendly chap and the staff are great. The kings Head is okay for lunchtime and does a reasonable Sunday dinner. The hot tub is a useful addition, just what you need after a long walk. It's a lovely little cottage and would definitely stay again.

Alison

A beautiful cottage and really appreciated the hot tub and special little garden. Lovely to visit Richmond again and the beauty of North Yorkshire.

Gillean

Beautiful home, tastefully decorated, very comfortable, all domestic supplies considered and supplied, beautiful walled garden and great location.

Debbie

Contact regarding check in was easy .The location great for the centre of town and flat.. As regards parking we always managed to get a space opposite although it could be tight. The property was very clean and everything was to a very high standard with everything we needed. The property was quite dark which made it quite cold without the heating on but it was very hot while we were there so that was a blessing. The hot tub was a good temperatur. Loved our stay

Fraser

Fabulous property that deserves its 5 star rating. Great accommodation in a great location.

Karen

Second time at the cottage. It is very comfortable and right in the centre of Richmond. Parking is a real problem, it's a cottage for 4 but there wasn't 4 of everything, sharp knives missing from the block, stains that looked like blood on the bedroom floor. The welcome pack has been down graded this time. Some attention needs,to be paid to the gar den itself, cleaned up and furniture repaired.

Derek

Fabulous cottage in a great location. Welcome pack was a nice surprise and well thought through. The garden with the hot tub is private and a great place to relax. The interior of the cottage is well decorated and comfortable. Will definitely be returning.

Wayne

Fantastic place, with lovely cosy log burner and superb hot tub which is located in private position. A must use, to relax at end of busy day. Well thought out furniture, fixtures and fittings. Great location of cottage to explore town and explore further afield.

Nicola

This is a truly lovely house with everything you need :) close to town centre with plenty of places to eat out . We had the most perfect time here & will definitely be booking a return visit

Mark

Beautiful house which was beautifully decorated. Felt comfortable throughout. Great location in the edge of Richmond. Loads of good places to eat. Great walking near by. Lovely to come back to the hot tub after a day out. We found a great car park one minute walk away, nunsplace, which cost 15 for the week but you could use it at all richmondshire car parks and national trust car parks too. Great to find the house had a washer too! Will definitely stay again.

Nicky

The photographs do not do the property justice, absolutely beautiful house which we felt at home in straight away. All extras are provided, e.g. tea towels, dishwasher tablets, salt and pepper, milk. Amazingly comfortable beds. We used the hot tub a lot in-between the Yorkshire rain, it was always hot and inviting. Only a short walk to Lidl, and in to town where they have lots of places to eat from cafes to pub grub and restaurants. Will definitely stay again.

Gary

Beautiful cottage right in the heart of Richmond so a short stroll to all of the amenities. The cottage had everything we needed for the week. Beautifully decorated. Didn't want to go home! The owner was really helpful and could be contacted if needed. Just a perfect cottage in a perfect location.

Terence

In need of a deep clean

Caroline

What a wonderful place this is! Very luxurious yet homely at the same time. Everything you could need for a great holiday was included ( maybe a pair of kitchen scissors would be useful tho). Great location with much of Richmond walkable. Tons of lovely places to eat around the market square - we recommend the Gin and Tapas bar on French street cal led "29 Alehouse"- fab food, great drinks and very friendly staff. Staying in the Hidden Garden was such a treat we didn't want to leave.

Andrew

This is the third time we have stayed at the house and it never disappoints. The house looks grand from the outside and elegant in the inside, the living room so cosy and very cool inside especially with the heatwave we had, kitchen is perfect with everything you need and big, hot tub is a great extra and we used it every day and the garden a sun t rap, the bedrooms are elegant too and we slept very well in the very large beds, a couple of things need a bit of attention,but still excellent.

lucy

Great location, perfect for sightseeing and lots of quirky little shops and eateries. Just didn't feel 5 especially on the cleanliness side unfortunately. The cottage needs some attention and care on the outside spaces including the hot tub.

Janet

What a beautiful cottage.. Everything and more that anyone could ask for.. Kitchen well equipped.. In fact the whole cottage was.. Would definitely recommend to anyone..

David

We were very impressed with the location of 7 Temple Terrace, just a few minutes walk from the town centre and all amenities. Decor and furnishings are of the highest quality and comfort. Beds and bedding were also impressive. The secluded courtyard and hot-tub are invaluable assets for both day and evening use.

Tony

Perfect cottage very well thought out by the owner impeccable and would highly recommend Richmond is also a very nice central place for countryside etc 5 star from us

Helen

A very much loved beautifully decorated cottage everything you need - outdoor space with hot tub fab - minutes walk into centre of Richmond
