What our customers say about their holidays

  This was the first time we've been able to go and travel further than our neighbourhood for a holiday in over 6 months due to the pandemic, and it was wonderful to get away and see some different views and scenery.

  The cottage is very well appointed and comfortable with all you need inside. Especially as I still had to prepare meals apart from one day when we managed to eat out. Still no eating out inside places till May. So everything we needed was there. The host had put out chairs so we could sit outside there too and the addition of washing machine and dryer in a little outside shed which is shared with the other cottages in the house was a bonus if required which we used. The cottage is out of the town and very quiet so you could hear the birds in the trees but it is near enough to go into Richmond when you want - 10 mins walk. It is in an ideal area for exploring the Dales and Herriott country which we wanted to do and did and Richmond is a lovely place to explore too. We will definately be returning and thanks to the host for a lovely break away.

  Overall the accommodation was very good; however, the kitchen is very small with very limited worktop space.

  We like to prepare and cook our own meals and it was a challenge using the small amount of available space. In order to maximise what little there was we moved the large coffee machine into the dining area for the duration - this helped, but only slightly. The power-shower was a virtual Niagara Falls. What a pressure. Wow! I would suggest that net curtains be fitted to the bedroom windows to provide some privacy. Most days the curtains remained shut which made the bedrooms dark. As much as we enjoyed staying at Thornlea Cottage we won't be returning for one reason (one that cannot be remedied) - it's too close the the main road. Traffic noise throughout the night made sleeping difficult; for this reason we kept the bedroom windows closed (it muted the noise but it was still a nuisance) - which made the bedrooms hot and stuffy.

  We had a great 10-day stay over Christmas.

  The cottage was comfortable and scrupulously clean, with ample storage (except for in the bathroom, where a shelf or two would be useful). The kitchen is very well-stocked with pans and tools. There were a Christmas tree and decorations, which made it very cosy for the festivities. There were just two of us most of the time and a third over the Christmas weekend; maybe the cottage would have felt slightly crowded with four adults, but for us it was ideal. It is an easy walk (c. 10 minutes) in to Richmond, which is a lovely town, and there are great drives and walks in the area. The heating is efficient (though noisy at times, with clanking pipes) and the cottage was perfectly warm. Because of the thick walls I suspect it would also stay cool in summer. If we ever return to Richmond I will definitely plan to stay here agin.

  Great cottage in a wonderful location with every amenity you could reasonably wish for. The owners had provided all essentials for washing as well as a welcome pack of tea/coffee/milk on arrival. Jigsaw and games were provided and a great selection of books so even if the weather is unkind there was plenty to help relax. Good WiFi and a smart TV. Really great walks literally across the road for the dog lovers and the reasonably fit. Friendly pub across the road but only does food Friday and weekends. It was great to be close to Richmond and the facilities it offers but much more relaxing to be in a wonderful cottage on the very edge of the national park with amazing views across the Swale valley.

  We cant thankyou enough for a really lovely stay ay Honeysuckle Cottage, The owner thought of everything to make our stay just as if we were staying in our own home from providing everything we needed and beyond.

  There was even dog treats and dog towels which was so thoughtful as well as use of a washing machine and tumble dryer which made life so easy as well as so much information on the area and places of interest to visit. We were overwhelmed at such high standards and can honestly say its one of the nicest areas we have visited and cottages we have stayed in. We will definitely recommend this to friends and feel really blessed we had the privilege to stay here. A hot tub would have made the stay complete to relax in after all the walking we did but aside from that there were no negatives i could give this owner or gorgeous cottage . Thankyou.
