"Thank you, Marcia and Dennis for our week in this lovely, very well appointed cottage, having beautiful views of the castle and of the wooded hillside. We have had a most enjoyable week, visiting our relatives and old haunts in Richmond and enjoying re-visiting Swaledale, Northallerton and the heather covered moors. A week passes so quickly and we are sorry to go."

"Our fourth visit to Garden Cottage. The weather has been excellent, which gave the opportunity for relaxing in the wonderful garden, reading, painting and enjoying the peace and quiet. The castle was superb with its great views over the countryside and town. Promenaded to Easby Abbey, which is such an atmospheric place. Look forward to seeing you again Marcia and Dennis, later in the year."

"Another lovely stay at Garden Cottage. Once again the weather was kind to us so we could enjoy the lovely walks around Richmond, the castle and the river. The cottage was perfect for our needs, so much so we stayed an extra couple of nights. Thank you once again to Marcia - a great host as ever. We will be back!"

"Our second visit to Garden Cottage - we immediately feel at home in this comfy cottage and enjoy the beautiful garden, particularly as the weather has been amazing (dare I say, sometimes a bit too hot!). For local dog walks off-lead, the racecourse is superb, also the old railway path by Richmond Station - it's also nice and shaded! This year we discovered The Bolton Arms at Downholme - pleasant outdoor area for dogs with a fabulous view, friendly staff and great food. Barnard Castle and Eggleston Hall Gardens were also new to us and well worth a visit. Thank you for having us, we hope to be back next year."
