The beds were super comfy, and the house was spotlessly clean, and although fairly small, it was more than big enough for my son and I to have our own space. Parking was really convenient with a car park just across the road. The owner was really friendly and on hand to recommend places to eat and visit. Richmond itself is lovely with lots of shops, restaurants, coffee shops & tea rooms. The castle is a great place to visit, as is the Station. We drove to Wensleydale which is one of the most picturesque drives I've ever done. There is loads to do in the area and I would not hesitate to return in the future :)
