The Doll's House sleeps two guests and is a delightful stone holiday cottage that is ideal for couples. It is peacefully tucked away just behind Frenchgate (with its own private parking!) within the market town of Richmond in the Yorkshire Dales.

Richmond lies on the River Swale and is the capital of Swaledale, often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Dales'. Its quaint, narrow cobbled streets, market place, Georgian houses, Norman castle and breathtaking scenery, gives this town its wonderful atmosphere and unique character. Voted "Great Town of the Year" in 2009, Richmond retains much of its typical Yorkshire charm, whilst having plenty of atmosphere and activities, along with a good selection of restaurants, shops, pubs, galleries and weekly/daily markets.
This market town offers a wealth of things to see and do. It is home to the oldest Georgian theatre in the country and there are three museums where you can learn about the towns fascinating history. The town has some wonderful riverside walks and town trails and for the keen walker, there are plenty of wonderful walking opportunities throughout the Yorkshire Dales.
The Doll's House is ideal for a romantic break. You could also rent the owners other adjoining cottage (see separate advert) and come along with friends or family and enjoy the area together whilst having a good degree of privacy. These two cottages are peacefully tucked away in a quiet position, yet benefit from having everything on the doorstep - They are both absolute hidden gems!
