What a beautiful cottage! Well kept clean tastefully decorated and contains everything you need. I must say one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in. With that and the complete silence we had the best sleep ever! Close to town centre and even are own parking spot can't beat it!

Just come back from stating in Olive Cottage. There is everything there for your stay. Such as a full size fridge, a microwave, toaster and a oven an hob if you wish to cook. The cottage was clean and tidy. We had lots of information on places to go and places to eat out.. I would recommend the cottage without a doubt. It was so quiet due to the fact there was no traffic or anyone walking pass the cottage.

Olive cottage is close to Richmond town centre and is clean, cosy and comfortable; just as Sykes Cottages described it.. It gave us a relaxing holiday with trips to the dales and to Durham and Ripon.....and Richmond itself is delightful. So we had a splendid week.

Lovely cottage for two, cosy and well-located in the heart of Richmond.. Kitchen is cosy for one and tricky for two so don't plan on any big homemade meals as size-wise the kitchen cannot accommodate it! The house and local area guide is in a box under the TV, we found it on our third day and wish we had found it sooner!

No freezer compartment in the fridge and no satisfactory way of drying laundry ie.. Suitable sized airier.

Richmond is lovely and this cottage is in a good location. The bed is comfortable but the downstairs room (the cottage is a one up - one down) is very cramped and less comfortable. The place was clean except for the crockery and utensils - I can understand the owners rely on tenants to keep these clean but I didn't expect on Day One having to pull-out everything we would use during the week and give a good clean. It would have been helpful to have had a telephone number for the owner as we did have a problem (the shower leaked through the ceiling to the downstairs room) and there was some delay having to go through the booking company (Sykes Cottages). This is a high-density housing area - we may have been unfortunate with the noise from builders next door.

The cottage was good, the bed was good, the bathroom (particularly the shower) was good.. The living room is dark, this is particularly the case in the kitchen area - a light is needed there. Enough cutlery and crockery for two, No dish cloths to clean the working area. Most places provide a little milk, tea and coffee for guests on arrival until they have shopped. None were provided. The positioning of the property is good, meaning that the car can be left in the off road parking space when going into Richmond. Overall it was a good place to stay.
