Georgian Villa in Richmond on the River Swale

Would love to return and hope for better weather!

Pros: Plenty of space for everyone and in a good location.

Cons: WiFi was turned off at 9am on the last morning.

Great house and location for a large group

Pros: Stunning house, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Everything you need for a large gathering- plenty of kitchen equipment etc and additional hobs in case the Aga isn’t sufficient. Very cosy on a cold night, and the whole group agreed that the beds and bedding were very cosy and comfortable. There were 11 of us, including my 90 year old parents and 2 dogs, and we all loved the place. Not everyone had an en-suite - there are 3 bedrooms without it - 2 of them share the family bathroom in the top floor and guests in the room with 2 beds in it (which is in the ground floor) have to go up to the 2nd floor to use the wc or have a shower. Not insurmountable but worth knowing. We would absolutely stay there again. Owners were very helpful. We got good use from the table tennis table on the ground floor. Walking distance to Richmond centre. Clean

Cons: There was nothing we didn’t like, but a couple of things for visitors to be aware of. One in the bathroom situation mentioned previously, the other is the low number of electric sockets in bedrooms which is presumably due to the age of the house. Again, not insurmountable but worth being aware of. There is no wc on the middle floor which is where the sitting room, dining room and kitchen are located, however we managed fine without one - just means you get your workouts in by visiting the wc!

Amazing villa

Pros: Amazing grand place. I don't think any of could really believe how good it was. The pictures only sell half of the story. It's really spacious throughout and the grounds are mega. Absolutely perfect for the family trip we had with a real range of ages. Quick walk into town too for supplies and such

Perfect house for large family get togethers.

Pros: Beautiful house and garden- actually felt very homely too

Amazing house and gardens backing onto the river

Pros: Beautiful house and gardens backing onto the shallow river, Quiet,peaceful enclosed gardens a short walk to the lovely town of Richmond, Well equipped house and loads of private safe parking

Cons: We would definitely stay here again

Perfect stay would highly recommend will definitely be back

Pros: Beautiful house great location with nice garden in peaceful location also just a short walk into lovely town.

Cons: Exceptionally clean a lovely family home with everything you could possibly need for a family holiday Bedrooms excellent comfy beds clean and large .

Pros: Fabulous house and great location on the edge of Richmond, perfect for a family get together. There are superb public rooms and the kitchen is well equipped. Good communication with the owners, who were very helpful.

Cons: The lack of a communal toilet or bathroom on the ground or first floor may be difficult for someone with mobility issues, also for the occupants of the ground floor bedroom without an en-suite.

A great family weekend

Pros: We loved everything about this place! The gardens are beautiful, the kitchen had everything you needed for a family of 12, the beds were comfortable, the place was spotless and the place was full of charm. The host was accommodating and friendly. Just a short walk into Richmond for a little shopping and some great restaurants. Highly recommend to any famlies looking for a large gathering

Cons: The only small thing was we all love each other so much we wanted to all sit in one room and there wasn't quite enough seating/siofa space for us all but we used the dining room chairs and it wasn't a problem

Great memories made in a beautiful setting had us all feeling like landed gentry.

Pros: Pretty much everything. The beautiful villa, traditional features with very high quality interior details yet warm and homely feel. Large spaces with plenty of opportunity to spread out, a fabulous garden with an extensive lawn for playing family games but equally ample inside rooms for rainy weather, reading, playing music, entertaining etc. Very well equipped kitchen with both traditional and modern facilities. The house had been cleaned to a high standard with spotless bathrooms and bedrooms too.

Cons: This is a bit nit picking (but you did ask!)- The only thing that might have made the stay easier would be to have a separate toilet on the middle or ground floor (rather than all being inside en-suites except for the family bathroom on top floor) This was ok for most of us but we had two mobility impaired guests who had to return to their rooms when needed. I guess this would be not feasible with plumbing which was otherwise excellent with plentiful hot water and great bathrooms - Best bath with a garden/river view we've ever experienced from the top floor!

Perfect for our family gathering celebrating a 80th.Bithday.

Pros: Location fabulous by the River Swale. Very peaceful. Large garden. Our expectations were exceeded. Unique Georgian Villa. Excellent.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.
