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!

The owners were really nice and on hand should we have needed anything. The Shoulder of Mutton pub in Middleton Tyas had great food and real ale. Best to book though as it gets really busy.

There is easy access to the A1 which was a revelation to us, coming from rural Lincolnshire. The property was very clean and comfortable and well maintained. The owner kindly provided us with a generous welcome basket plus milk and wine.

Cottage was exactly as advertised, we were met on arrival by Jackie the owner who explained where things were and how the heating worked. A lovely welcome pack was awaiting in the kitchen where tea coffee milk and sugar had thoughtfully been provided for that much needed brew after our journey. If in the area we would definitely book Magnolia cottage again
