  We are so sad to be leaving this cottage today.

  It was a last minute booking and I was a little worried about the lack parking and clothes dryer but we've had the most amazing week. We parked the car at the end of the ginnel when we arrived on Friday and haven't moved it since. Richmond is a beautiful place to stay with fab markets, a mix of traditional and more modern shops, lots of pubs/restaurants/cafes, the castle and cinema all of which are within a 10/15 minutes walk away from the cottage. Richmond is extremely dog friendly which has been lovely for us as a family. Particular mention goes to the Sip cafe which is on the way into town and does gorgeous food and drinks and makes dogs very welcome. The cottage has everything you need; a large well equipped kitchen, good sized bedrooms with stunning views, very comfortable beds, a bathroom with a hand held shower and waterfall shower over the bath (not mentioned in the cottage details). The living room is cosy with a large TV and lots of books and games. The garden is small but has been big enough for our dog to potter around comfortably, and we've made good use of the hot tub especially after all the hills we've walked!! (The heating is very quick once you switch it on so I needn't have worried about the lack of dryer). We've spent a lot of time in the snug reading our books and chilling. We could have done with more test strips for the hot tub but this was rectified quickly when we rang Sykes. We would definitely recommend this cottage to others as we've had such a wonderful stay.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Flints Cottage and can't wait to visit again.

  The cottage is pretty much central to every amenity you would need without being noisy or busy. We managed to get free parking for the duration of our stay in Frenchgate which is a quick cut through a ginnel away from the front door, perfect! The cottage itself is quaint and well laid out whilst having every modern gadget you would need. My husband is well over six foot so had to be careful with head heights but this cottage is sixteen century so you expect such things. The hot tub was an added bonus and we enjoyed a couple of dips in it whilst enjoying a glass of wine in relative privacy and seclusion. The mattress on the main bed is lovely and comfortable, can't speak for the rest as there were only two of us. We did notice there wasn't a hoover available for use and maybe an old dog towel could come in handy on inclement days to save your carpets but luckily the weather was great and our little dog Ava really enjoyed the complimentary dog treats! All in all we have been visiting Richmond now for over twenty years and this has to be one of the best places we've stayed. See you again soon!

  Hazeldene is a really beautiful property, the pictures probably don't do it justice to be honest!

  The kitchen is fabulously spacious for 8 people, I would suggest another or a much larger fridge though; we were a party of 6 and struggled to get all our food and drink into it. The decor is tasteful throughout, maybe a couple of occasional tables in the lounge with some lamps to give a slightly cosier atmosphere, and definitely a lamp in the dining room, it could be a little gloomy in that room. The beds and bed linen an extremely high standard, however if I were the owners I'd consider changing the double bed to a king or even super king size one. I would suggest the cleaners do some deep cleaning in the shower room ... the hand basin seemed to be blocked to be honest, and the shower drained very slowly, but these are all very tiny observations that didn't spoil our week's holiday in the slightest and I hope will be taken positively by the owner and not seen as complaints .... it was our first visit to North Yorkshire, an absolutely beautiful county, lovely people and Hazeldene is a very lovely property that I'd be more than happy to re-book.

  The house looks lovely and could potentially be amazing, however we encountered some issues: - dishwasher did not clean properly.

  Plates in the cupboard had food on them and ee soon realised why. We ended up hand washing everything. Maybe adding rinse aid and salt between stays would help, but it really was poor. - oven took twice as long as it should to cook anything. - wifi was extremely slow and didn't work at times. Some signal boosters might help with the property having such thick walls. - cleanliness could be improved. Massive cobwebs in several areas. Sat on the sofa and noticed in the crack between cushions was absolutely vile. - slugs in the house. I put my slipper on in the last evening to find a slimy slug in there. There was also a slug trail in the kitchen hear the smallest window. - duvet on bed in en-suite bedroom not big enough. Once 2 people were in the bed the duvet barely fitted. Ended up swapping it with the room next door. - hamper on arrival was a lovely touch, and most of the decor was lovely (paint in bedroom and en-suite was a bit grubby). Great location. If the above was resolved the property could easily be 5 star.

  For 3 adults and 2 teen boys this was a beautiful property that serves as a great base for visiting nearby coastal towns. One neighbour was very welcoming, another not so much. The local beach is not accessible. Although it’s close, the very steep stairs to it are being upgraded and are blocked off. The parking is not suitable for suv or large cars. We had to get out of the car before being parked to allow for a very tight squeeze into the space. We visited lots of nearby towns and historical sites, wonderful if you are an English Heritage member. The shower is really great, and the beds were comfy. The hob and oven were lovely to use and thank goodness for the dishwasher. It gets very breezy at the rear of the property - something to be aware of if you need/want the windows open. The fish and chip shop in Hinderwell was great. If you want to eat in the nearest pub I recommend booking. The second pub wasn’t as pleasant inside, although the barman was lovely. Overall a good base, but parking made it awkward.
