Resting in the village of Melsonby, this super cosy and comfortable cottage accommodates up to three guests. Melsonby lies on the northern tip the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Around Melsonby village there are many bridle paths so it is perfect for exercising, a short walk takes you to the village pub and there are many delightful villages nearby with pubs serving good food should you feel like eating out. If you are a foodie, head to one of the local farm shops with delis and tearooms, where you will see farm animals grazing in the paddocks. The historic market town of Richmond is just 5.5 miles away with much to offer. Explore the cobbled market square or stroll up towards Richmond Castle for a slice of Yorkshire history. Head north to Barnard Castle (12.5 miles), its streets lined with independent shops, cafes, art galleries and of course Bowes Museum is well worth a visit.

A charming semi-detached cottage, where thoughtful upgrades and stylish furnishings create a welcoming retreat. As you step through the entrance, you're greeted by a sense of warmth and comfort that sets the tone for your stay. In the lounge, sink into the plush leather sofa, positioned invitingly in front of a crackling wood-burning stove, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the local area. Select your favourite film from the Smart TV for a cosy night in, surrounded by the ambience of the flickering flames. Adjacent, the well-equipped kitchen beckons, offering all the essentials for preparing home-cooked meals and packing delicious lunches for your adventures. Gather around the table for intimate meals indoors, or venture outside to the shared courtyard. Completing the ground floor is a convenient downstairs cloakroom/utility, housing essential appliances, ensuring your stay remains hassle-free. Venturing upstairs, you'll discover two immaculately presented bedrooms awaiting your restful slumber. The king-size and small double bedrooms offer tranquil retreats, each thoughtfully appointed for your comfort.

Violet's Cottage was perfect. The house was as advertised and and everything worked. The beds were comfortable, there were plenty of towels and bed-linen, if we needed them ( we didn't). The place was spotlessly clean , well equipped and the heating worked well. We've stayed in many such cottages over the years and this was one of, if nRead moreot the best We've had the pleasure to stay in. I must mention too that the welcome pack was much appreciated. Highly recommended. Hide

We needed a place to stay near Richmond in North Yorkshire for one week. This cottage was ideal as it is situated close to the A1M and the A66 making access to the Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Moors,Teesdale and the Lae District very easy. Melsonby is a pleasant village to stay and the cottage is just right for a pleasant and peaceful stay.
