Flints Cottage, Yorkshire

Flints Cottage is a 16th-century stone cottage in Richmond, North Yorkshire. This three-bedroom property combines old-world character with modern comforts, including a private hot tub in the enclosed garden. Just minutes from Richmond's town center, it's perfectly positioned for exploring without needing to drive anywhere. The steep stairs might challenge your coordination after a few glasses of wine, but that's part of the charm!

Richmond offers the best of Yorkshire living with its historic castle, riverside walks and market square all within a 10-15 minute stroll. Dog-friendly cafés and pubs welcome four-legged visitors throughout town. Take a scenic walk to Easby Abbey or pop into the local shops and supermarkets all easily accessible on foot from your front door.

The cottage sleeps up to six guests across three comfortable bedrooms with stunning views. There's a well-equipped kitchen featuring an AGA and modern appliances, a cozy sitting room with woodburning stove and two bathrooms including one with a waterfall shower over the bath. The snug provides a perfect reading nook for quiet afternoons.

The Yorkshire Dales National Park begins just outside town.

Flints Cottage offers the perfect balance of town and country. Soak in the hot tub after hiking Yorkshire's hills, then wander into town for dinner. Just remember the 10pm hot tub curfew you'll need to save your naked midnight splashing for another trip!
