  • "Thank you Pam for the lovely cake ready for our arrival."

    You also provided a large loaf of bread and 6 eggs which we didn't expect. Everything was new and sparkling. My only suggestion would be a little more light if possible in the kitchen and maybe another lamp or two in the living room. All the best for future lettings.

  • "Excellent holiday cottage and probably the best we've ever stayed in."

    Pam, the owner, was lovely and gave a courtesy call to make sure we had everything we needed. Ovington is a lovely quiet and pretty village. The Four Alls pub is wonderful & only a couple of minutes walk away.

    It was lovely to meet both of you. The football in the pub is usually a good night! Pam. Property Owner

  • "Appletree Cottage was very well equipped throughout."

    As keen walkers it was great to have boot trays inside, a boot scraper/brush outside and a warm utility room to dry any wet clothing. The beds were very comfortable too. The owner is a lovely lady who left a great welcome pack. The cottage overlooks the village green with a small but very welcoming pub on the opposite side. There are lovely walks to be done from the cottage and easy distance to Barnard Castle, Richmond and many other places. One thing we were happy about was finding a property that was dog free which has become increasingly difficult of late. Take note Sykes Cottages not everyone wants to take pets or rent property which allows pets. It was our fist visit to the area and we do want to return.

    Thank you. I am glad you found the local walks: Wycliffe is now beautiful as the autumn colours set in. Pam. Property Owner

  • "We had a fabulous week in this beautiful, well equipped, comfortable cottage."

    It is very well situated in a picturesque village with the village pub just across the green. The menu there was very comprehensive with very friendly staff and locals. When we arrived at the cottage there were a generous amount of provisions including home made cake and jam. The owner was very welcoming and keen to make our stay as comfortable as possible. The outside space was also very welcoming with comfortable furniture which we made full use of owing to the fine weather. There are many attractions within a short distance and of course, the glorious Yorkshire Dales. We are definitely considering rebooking.

    So glad you had such perfect weather. I am looking forward to seeing you both again. Pam. Property Owner

  • "As mentioned in the guest book we said the village was wonderful as it was very quiet, and the cottage was well equipped."

    The beds were extremely comfortable, and it was lovely that Pam had left food goodies for us, and a big plus was the off road parking for one car. Plus great location to visit all areas.

    Thank you. The weather was disappointing but glad you enjoyed your stay! Property Owner

    The cottage is newly renovated. The kitchen has everything anyone could ever need. The bathroom is newly fitted and is really luxurious. Both bedrooms are really nice with so much storage room. The welcome pack that was left for us was the best we have ever had. Both the front and back gardens are so lovely and peaceful with lovely tables and chairs to sit in with a nice drink listening to the birds. There are some lovely walks from the village. We will definitely be going back to this lovely cottage.

    Thank you. See you both again soon! Property Owner

  • "Appletree Cottage is in a lovely, peaceful village with private garden and overlooks the green to the front."

    Convenient rural location for both the Durham and Yorkshire Dales, with lots of walks on the doorstep. We enjoyed our week's stay immensely and highly recommend it. A couple of minor niggles were sorted out quickly by the lovely owners and we really appreciated all the supplies and provisions that had been left for us. Beautiful fresh flowers in every room provided the finishing touch. Thank you!

    So glad you enjoyed your stay . The weather just couldn't have been better for such a special break for you. Property Owner

About the location

RICHMOND

Barnard Castle 10 miles; Leyburn 12 miles.

Situated at the entrance to Swaledale, the ancient market town of Richmond stands on a prominent hilltop site to the north of the River Swale. Its cobbled streets and narrow alleys or 'wynds' enshrine over nine centuries of busy history and unique character. The town grew up around its castle, a Norman fortress dating back to 1071, famously situated high above the river - indeed the name Richmond is derived from 'Riche-mont' meaning 'strong hill'. Today there are wonderful walks to be enjoyed such as the Castle Walk - a dramatic terrace walk beneath the castle walls - or alternatively walk alongside the River Swale where there are parks, safe paddling areas and small waterfalls to enjoy. Within the town, narrow streets and alleys radiate from the cobbled Market Place (which has a weekly market and monthly farmers’ market) and there are numerous shops, pubs and restaurants to enjoy. The town flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries and the resulting elegant Georgian architecture lines many of the old streets. The Georgian Theatre is one of the oldest surviving theatres in the country with visitors enjoying its regular productions all year round.
