About this property
Magnolia Cottage is a delightful property dating back to the 19th century, and is set amidst beautiful rolling countryside in the pretty village of Barton near Richmond in the Yorkshire Dales. The attention to detail throughout is evident, from an original range cooker now used for decoration only, to thoughtful touches in every room. The well-equipped kitchen with dining area is a light and spacious room, a magnet for guests to mingle before dinner. The cosy sitting room is an oasis whatever the time of year, and for those chillier nights the comforting glow of the multi-fuel stove is really addictive. There are two charming bedrooms offering every comfort including en-suite shower rooms. Richmond, just over 7 miles away, is one of the many jewels in Yorkshire's crown and is the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales. This inspiring town is complete with a Norman castle, cobbled market place, superb architecture and a great range of shops and tea rooms to choose from. The magnificent Bowes Museum offers a fantastic day out for everyone and the fascinating musical automaton, The Silver Swan is a much loved icon of the museum. Discover Herriot country which includes beautiful countryside and the charming and picturesque market towns and villages of Northallerton, Thirsk, Great Ayton, Bedale and Easingwold. This stunning area has changed very little over the centuries and is fortunate to have preserved its beauty and tradition including a choice of heritage pubs, village greens and age old customs and with great road links in all directions a new adventure can be taken every single day. Yorkshire is acclaimed for its stunning walks, awesome caving, amazing food and its renowned hospitality. One visit is never enough!
Barton is an attractive village in the northern Dales, with a village green, river, shop and pub. Barton is close to the town of Richmond, as well as within easy reach of Barnard Castle, the Teesdale Way, Raby Castle, High Force Falls and more. An ideal touring base.

The reason for our return was that this is a very well kept,clean and cosy cottage. All needs are well catered for. The summer house is a perfect addition to the cottage. Great for some quiet time. The village is small and quiet, however, the local pub and village shop are ideal. The added bonus is that the cottage is only 5 minutes from the motorway which takes you down to South Yorkshire and up to County Durham and beyond. Lots to do and see for all the family. You won't be bored. More importantly, the lovely owners live just across the street and are on hand if needed. We are currently looking at re-booking next year. Well done Jacky and Phil.

My only improvement would be to have a dishwasher installed.

Cottage was very well appointed and the log burner was a great bonus with the weather changing the week we were there. Both bedrooms with an ensuite and we were not disturbed once during the whole week. Would definitely recommend to others and will use again when exploring North Yorkshire and County Durham, which this cottage is ideally situated to do. Great Stay.
