Welcome to Garden Cottage

Unique Holiday Home with Views of Richmond’s Norman Castle

This pretty, Victorian gardener’s cottage in Richmond, North Yorkshire was built in the former kitchen garden of Elizabethan Yorke House. The cottage looks over a secure, south-facing private garden with spectacular views of Richmond Castle and Billy Banks Woods. It is ideally placed with the town to the east and countryside south and west – all just a few minutes’ walk from the front door.

This delightful cottage sleeps up to six in three bedrooms with two bathrooms. Children are welcome and one or two dogs stay at no extra charge. Private off-street parking on the drive for two cars.

Last year, Garden Cottage owners, Dennis and Marcia were recognised by VisitEngland for offering the warmest of welcomes with a prestigious ROSE award – only 100 are presented in England each year.

Weekly lets, Friday to Friday. Short breaks are  available during quieter periods.

Guest Comments

"We had another great holiday and a very comfortable stay in this lovely cottage. The railway station [NB from Marcia no longer a station, but converted to cinema, restaurant and artisan shops] does nice teas and cakes. Good walks down by the river. We will look forward to coming back next year."

- More Happy Guests!

"We had the best trip at this cottage! It is in the best location, a little bit away from the town centre but very walkable to everything you need. The rooms are all fabulous and the garden is lovely! About 30 minutes from Durham if you want to do a day trip. For a meal out, we enjoyed The Station. They also have very nice ice-cream. Lots of fantastic walks right from your doorstep. Would 100% book again. Thank you Marcia and Dennis."

- Friends from Leicestershire

"Lovely cosy cottage for our first visit to Richmond. We enjoyed the food at the Station and looking around the local Easby Abbey ruins. Picturesque location and great for exploring North Yorkshire and The Dales."

- Friends from London and Sheffield

"We enjoyed our stay in this very comfortable and cosy cottage very much. Very well equipped with everything we needed. Richmond was a great place to explore. We were lucky enough to experience the market on Saturday. We enjoyed the circular walk to Easby via the old railway track and returning by the path on the opposite bank. Also the walk from the bridge to the station and then back through the gardens with good views of the falls. Georgian Theatre tour was a highlight - what a treasure. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay. PS Your gardens are amazing and it was so nice to be able to explore them."

"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!"
