Number Two is tucked away in one of the ancient and secluded wynds (wynd is a Norse term dating from the Viking invasions of the area), which are a feature of Richmond , and is so close to the castle that you can see the castle keep from the bedroom window. South View is just off cobbled Newbiggin, one of the finest of Richmond 's streetscapes, with elegant Georgian townhouses and the old gaol at the end.

There is no need to use the car on a daily basis as Richmond offers excellent local shopping, including its ancient market, the Georgian Theatre Royal, pubs, cafes and restaurants, along with the fabulous Richmond Castle and the River Swale which runs through the town. There are walks from the door in abundance, either in or around the town or in the open countryside of the Yorkshire Dales National Park beyond.

Accommodation

You enter the cottage into a small entrance porch with coat hanging and boot and shoe space, and from here into the living/dining room and kitchen, with its natural wood floor, comfy leather easy chairs and designer gas fire set flush into the wall. The bistro table and chairs are perfect for a romantic meal for two, set with the dramatic black and white crockery. The kitchen is state of the art with stainless steel appliances and a granite worktop.

Upstairs there is a king sized bedroom with a view across to the castle keep, and a bathroom with bath with shower over, WC and washbasin.

Outside is a shared paved courtyard and garden with garden furniture-just the place to have an alfresco coffee or glass of wine.

We offer both short and long breaks all year, with Friday and Monday changeovers, so that you can choose how long you wish to stay.
