The cathedral city of Durham is just over half an hour away to the north of Richmond, and is certainly worth a day trip to explore, as is the medieval walled city of York with its wealth of visitor attractions.

Vale View has all the things you need for a visit to Richmond, it is well equipped and spotlessly clean. Car parking is adequate for one car, but you could also walk into the town.

Excellent dog friendly cottage in a dog friendly area. Secure garden. Parking. Off lead walking close by. Within walking distance of Richmond centre as long as you don't mind hills. Richmond itself is a nice market town with lots to see.

Our only slight issue was probably the highly fragranced washing powder/fabric conditioner on the towels, which we're not used to. We would probably take our own in future.
