Flints Cottage Reviews

Rachel

Very comfortable bed we slept brilliant the hot tub was amazing the walks from the door step were fantastic we absolutely loved our stay we had a lovely 4night break with our 2 dogs. .. the only negative was the kettle we couldn't use it as it was filled with limescale but we just used the brilliant coffee machine or boiled water on the hob

Our stay at Flints Cottage was wonderful. A charming and beautifully decorated cottage with all the amenities we needed. Glorious kitchen, cosy sitting room with log burner, charming dining area and a private back garden with a heavenly hot tub. Location is great close to the town centre. Parking could be in busy seasons tricky but we managed to get close with too much difficulty. Richmond is a charming town but be warned it's hilly! However this does afford you Incredible views and vantage points. We did have a minor problem with a sticking front door handle but it was swiftly fixed by the lively caretaker and our owner Jenny sent an unexpected but much appreciated gift by way of apology. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a lovely stay Jenny.

Perfect for a relaxing stay. It is well facilitated, I especially loved the selection of films and books. The hot tub is well situated in a private garden. There is no parking outside the property but we were able to park up on fleet terrace. The cottage is a 10 minute walk away from the centre of Richmond, which has a variety of shops, pubs, cafes and walks. Thank you to the owner for a lovely stay and cake and milk

Vanessa

We stayed in Flints Cottage over New Year and would highly recommend it. It's a lovely characterful cottage but with all modern conveniences. It is very well situated, with only a short walk into Richmond where there are loads of bars and restaurants. There is no private parking but on street parking was easy to find. The wood burner made the cottage cosy and the hot tub was great. Instructions for the oven and the TV remote would have been useful. The stairs and the climb in and out of the bath will be an issue if you have mobility problems. We would love to return.

Really like the property and location ive stayed a couple of times before and will certainly be back. Unfortunately the hot tub was faulty all week despite the owners best efforts to arrange repair. This was obviously quite disappointing

Loved the cottage. Quirky and comfy. Facilities excellent. Everything you would need. Had a lovely week weather wise. In September it is a little cold on a night without the burner on but the burner made it perfect. Parking in Frenchgate not a problem. Jenny, thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home. No visitors book to thank you. Would definitely return. Nesta the Bedlington Terrier loved the cottage and Richmond. Especially the squirrels and the pubs

Lovely cottage in a great location, very well equipped and tastefully furnished. Over bath shower not ideal but perfectly adequate. Hot tub was excellent for 4 adults 10pm curfew and enclosed garden great for our 2 dogs. No problem parking and just a short walk to the town square or to Lidl or a riverside walk to Easby Abbey. All in all a great stay thanks

Lovely cottage however could do with more information regarding the hot tub and dishwasher. Plenty of cooking utensils and love the welcome pack. The cottage is lovely and quite at night. We all had a great holiday in Richmond and Flint Cottage. Thank you

Rachel

This was our second time at Flints Cottage and we still love it. Its so quirky and homely. Lovely and convenient for the river and the shops. Good amount of kitchen equipment, games, DVDs and books. A lovely touch to find milk and cake in the fridge plus a stocked coffee machine. The hottub in the peaceful sunny back garden creates a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. We hope to be back again.

Gordon

We had a lovely stay at flints cottage,the only down side ,it was quite dusty,there was dust on book case,bed side units where quite bad ,a thick cob web from unit to bed, the hoover doesnt work. But apart from that, great location to town . We would revisit. We did have a visit from the maintance man reguarding some issues, but the complaint hadn't come from us, these should have been dealt with before we arrived.

Lovely quaint cottage but could of done with a few more explanations on the ... Lovely quaint cottage but could of done with a few more explanations on the workings of equipment as had problems with dish washer and television apart from that lovely location

Vanessa

Excellent cottage with modern facilities. I loved the hot tub, back garden and the small sun room. Thank you for the cake and milk, they were very welcome. On street parking but very easy to park as there are no restrictions in the 2 areas recommended. Very short walk into Richmond where there are loads of pubs and restaurants. The Ship Inn is only a few minutes walk away. There were no tea towels. I know there was a dishwasher but sometimes it is easier to just wash a small amount of dishes. No instructions about the heating which kept coming on and not really needed in the summer. Could save the hosts some money on their bills if it could be turned off. Onoff button on TV remote not working. The steep stairs and climb in and out of the over bath shower make this property difficult for people with mobility problems but apart from that it was perfect. Will be back.

The cottage is really welcoming and was perfect for me and my family. The stairs were a bit steep for my mum but was fine once she got used to them. The downstairs toilet helps. The hot tub my children loved, and was one of the reasons we booked the cottage initially. The location was ideal for my parents who struggle to walk very long distances. It was a lovely walk into the town and local highlights like the church, river and castle. Great that dogs are welcome and the enclosed garden is ideal for them. We would definitely book again.

Fabulous location and accomodation. Just one or 2 maintenance bits to be sorted but really didnt affect overall stay....

Very minor points it would have been great to have more mirrors upstairs in the bedrooms, and we couldn't find a sponge to wash up with! Otherwise we had an absolutely fabulous time, hated to leave and would love to come back. Apologies for the forgotten food and drink we were halfway down the M1 before we realised we hadn't grabbed them...

We absolutely loved our stay at Flint's cottage. It's the most well equipped cottage we've ever stayed at. Location is great, only a short walk from the centre. The beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage is very spacious and cosy. We would definitely return.

We had such a lovely time on our holiday. We love Richmond so much. My Grandparents used to live there for years. They recently moved to a lovely care home in Eaglescliffe. This cottage felt like a home from home with the fabulous bonus of a hot tub! Beautiful Garden, functional kitchen, plenty of space. Wed love to stay there again.

We are so sad to be leaving this cottage today. It was a last minute booking and I was a little worried about the lack parking and clothes dryer but we've had the most amazing week. We parked the car at the end of the ginnel when we arrived on Friday and haven't moved it since. Richmond is a beautiful place to stay with fab markets, a mix of traditional and more modern shops, lots of pubsrestaurantscafes, the castle and cinema all of which are within a 1015 minutes walk away from the cottage. Richmond is extremely dog friendly which has been lovely for us as a family. Particular mention goes to the Sip cafe which is on the way into town and does gorgeous food and drinks and makes dogs very welcome. The cottage has everything you need a large well equipped kitchen, good sized bedrooms with stunning views, very comfortable beds, a bathroom with a hand held shower and waterfall shower over the bath not mentioned in the cottage details. The living room is cosy with a large TV and lots of books and games. The garden is small but has been big enough for our dog to potter around comfortably, and we've made good use of the hot tub especially after all the hills we've walked!! The heating is very quick once you switch it on so I needn't have worried about the lack of dryer. We've spent a lot of time in the snug reading our books and chilling. We could have done with more test strips for the hot tub but this was rectified quickly when we rang Sykes. We would definitely recommend this cottage to others as we've had such a wonderful stay.

Judith

More information about parking specific streets etc would have been very helpful. We did always find a place but some guidance would be good.

Whilst the cottage is very close to the centre of town it is very quiet, and only a few minutes walk to local restaurants and shops.

Christine

Lovely cottage, dog friendly, clean . Will return again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Flints Cottage and can't wait to visit again. The cottage is pretty much central to every amenity you would need without being noisy or busy. We managed to get free parking for the duration of our stay in Frenchgate which is a quick cut through a ginnel away from the front door, perfect! The cottage itself is quaint and well laid out whilst having every modern gadget you would need. My husband is well over six foot so had to be careful with head heights but this cottage is sixteen century so you expect such things. The hot tub was an added bonus and we enjoyed a couple of dips in it whilst enjoying a glass of wine in relative privacy and seclusion. The mattress on the main bed is lovely and comfortable, can't speak for the rest as there were only two of us. We did notice there wasn't a hoover available for use and maybe an old dog towel could come in handy on inclement days to save your carpets but luckily the weather was great and our little dog Ava really enjoyed the complimentary dog treats! All in all we have been visiting Richmond now for over twenty years and this has to be one of the best places we've stayed. See you again soon!
