The Wishing Well

July 2023

We had a lovely stay at the Wishing Well cottage.  The cottage was lovely and very well equipped. The location was great.  Richmond is a very  pretty town and the castle was very interesting. Lots of places to visit nearby.

The cottage is lovely and has everything you need, everything is top quality. The location in the town is brilliant, it is so close to the shops, restaurants and the river Swale. We found Richmond to be an extremely friendly place and they love dogs. We particularly enjoyed eating at The Kings Head hotel and The Fleece. We found the best way to park the car was to use the 2 hour disc parking in the market place and buy a two-week parking ticket (£30) which enabled us to park in any car park in Richmond and other towns in Richmondshire. A great holiday.

Brill week in this lovely cottage. Richmond is lovely and the surrounding area is fab – loads of lovely walks, and at the end of the day continuing back to The Wishing Well was a treat. Thanks Maria & Jeff for the lovely basket of goodies – they were great and much appreciated.

We have had the most lovely week staying in this beautiful cottage. Lovely lunch at the Station and walk to Easby Abbey with an ice-cream on the way. Highlight was No. 29 for a gorgeous Tapas treat and gin or 2!! Thank you for having us, loved every minute.

Thank you for an amazing place to stay over New Year. Loads of great walks with the dogs and so nice to come back to a lovely cottage right in the middle of town. A very special place and would love to stay again sometime.

What an amazing, quaint little cottage. Very well thought out with lovely touches of the wine, snacks etc. perfect location near to the town with everything you need. We ate at The Kings Head, food and service was amazing. Did the circular walk to Easby Abbey which is a must. Very sad to be leaving but we will defiantly be returning.

We loved Richmond and Wishing Well cottage! 2 very satisfied customers.

Lovely relaxing week in an excellent cottage. Lovely welcome basket and idyllic setting close to the town, we have barely used the car. Fantastic week to celebrate my 50^th birthday. Richmond and The Wishing Well defiantly have us wanting to come back.

So pleased to have stayed in this very special cottage. A lovely pre-Christmas treat full of special features. Would love to stay again sometime. Thank you!

Wow what a beautiful holiday home and with wonderful special touches. We’ve had an amazing 3 days, beautiful walks right from the doorstep. The Little Drummer Boy café is a must for lunch or coffee and cake and we really enjoyed The New Treasure Garden Cantonese. Thank you.

The Wishing Well is absolutely super – perfectly decorated, perfectly equipped and perfectly located. We’ve had a fabulous break and would come back in a heartbeat!

A return visit to The Wishing Well & great to be back. A lovely relaxing break to unwind. Thank you for the welcome pack & flowers in the bedroom. A home from home. Hope to be back soon!

Hello Angela,

Happy new year and thank you very much for making Wishing Well Cottage possible for us.  I did send Maria, the owner, a thank you text as she was kindly checking up on us.  I’ve rented properties rather than stay in hotels for years and years and this property really stands out as very well equipped and clean.  Little touches like dishcloths, dishwasher tablets being available (although we took our own they often aren’t), access to Netflix, salt and pepper in the kitchen (ditto) are much appreciated.  Frequently places are so sterile its difficult to self cater or feel ‘at home’.  I dread opening the kitchen cupboards to find them all empty.  We would highly recommend The Wishing Well to anyone thinking of staying here, it is perfect in every way.

The cottage is absolutely perfect thank you. Everything was just great when we arrived, had a lovely supper and a good night’s sleep. Enjoyed a circular walk out to Aske Hall.

We’ve had such a gorgeous stay at The Wishing Well, it’s been so nice to escape form the city of Manchester and come to beautiful Richmond. We’ve lit the fire every night and our girls (Lady and Baby both chihuahua’s) have enjoyed every second! The weekend was spent visiting the Castle, walks along the river and lots of yummy food – highly recommend No.29 for Tapas. Today we were visiting the Dales! The Cottage has everything you need and seeing the well in the kitchen just makes it extra special.

Thank you for making our stay in Richmond perfect – we will definitely be back,

We really enjoyed our stay in Wishing Well cottage – a beautiful cottage with everything we could need. A great location with lots of fabulous walks.

Many, many thanks.

This was our first time in Richmond and what a fab week we had! The cottage is in a perfect location to explore. The walk to Easby Abbey is a lovely circular, flat walk which was ideal for our older dog. We ate out mainly and most places we found were dog friendly. We tried Rustique which was beautiful and The Fleece hotel. The Indian Amontola didn’t allow dogs but we did have two gorgeous take-aways. 

The Wishing Well is very welcoming and clean and it was lovely to be treated to wine, beer and crisps on our arrival as well as beautiful flowers. You truly have a little gem with this cottage. This won’t be our last stay in Richmond. 

Thank you. 

P.S. the small garage for our little car was a god send.

Maria truly is the best host!

A fantastic belated birthday stay! We felt settled in the cottage from the moment we arrived and found the location perfect foe exploring the Dales and the coast. The Wishing Well was such a brilliant find that we recommended it to family – my Mum and Dad will also be staying for a week in July! Thank you for a relaxing and memorable stay in Yorkshire.

Thank you for a delightful stay at The Wishing Well! The effort Maria, the owner, put into decorating the cottage for my 30th birthday has been incredible. I have had a truly wonderful break here in Richmond to celebrate!

The cottage is beautiful and the finishing touches like the food hamper were fantastic.

We had a beautiful weekend at The Wishing Well cottage – a lovely treat for my birthday even more so after lockdown!

The cottage was thoroughly clean and welcoming with some special touches, food hamper, flowers and a welcome text too!

The waterfalls are stunning in Richmond!

Many thanks for our wonderful stay, Ashley & Natalie x

The Wishing Well was really special and the hamper of treats was a lovely touch! It is a beautiful cottage and we will certainly be recommending to friends, thank you so much, Harry & Kate, December 2020.

The Wishing Well is amazing! The attention to detail and all the extra touches make it the best place we’ve ever stayed. The flowers, champagne and chocolates were such a nice touch. Thank you so much, Stephen & Lorraine, December 2020.

Thank you so much for an amazing week in Richmond. It is our first time in the Yorkshire Dales and we will be back. The Wishing Well cottage was the perfect base for our holiday. We enjoyed many beautiful breakfasts on the terrace and cooking with the fantastic local produce. The cottage was so well equipped and has clearly been lovingly refurbished. The fresh flowers and hamper of goodies was a lovely touch. After months of Lockdown and not being able to go away The Wishing Well cottage delivered a truly memorable break. We spent so much time outside exploring the stunning countryside and feel thoroughly refreshed. Thank you again.

Thank you for a wonderful stay. This was my first visit to Richmond and I very much hope not my last. It is a great little town with loads of shops and plenty of riverside walks to stretch my legs. The cottage is also a delight – especially for a quick, sunny breakfast looking up to the castle. I’ve had a fantastic time here, and look forward to returning at some point in the future. September 2020.

We are having a lovely relaxing time in Richmond. This is our third visit to Richmond and The Wishing Well is by far the best cottage we have stayed in. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

What a wonderful 6 days staying in Richmond. The Wishing Well has been 5 star accommodation it’s in a beautiful area and the outside decking was an absolute bonus, having breakfast outside listening to the birds and the river was very relaxing in the morning a very good start to the day, especially when the sun was shining. On arrival to walk into the cottage and have fresh flowers in the lounge and the bedroom was a beautiful touch and our welcome basket was amazing after our long journey the chocolate biscuits were top notch 🙂 It’s been a great base to explore everything the Dales has to offer, and we look forward to returning in the future.
