Summary: Had a fantastic weekend at Howe Villa to celebrate my birthday with our adult children, travelling from different directions. Lovely spacious house, felt both luxurious (flowers in the hall and kitchen, bottle of birthday bubbly) and homely, things like family photos around makes it feel more like you’re staying with friends. Gorgeous garden with steps down to river and plenty parking. Three sitting rooms, so the sports fans weren’t in everyone else’s way! Master bedroom beautiful, very comfortable four poster bed with lovely linen and towels, morning sunshine, and a lovely bathroom (roomy bath and shower). Five more double beds - two top floor ones share a bathroom, ground floor ones two are en suite, last room is a little inconvenient for bathroom. Loved the kitchen - has an Aga as well as an electric oven and a plug in induction hob for those not used to an Aga. Two dishwashers was a godsend for such a big group. Really well equipped, plentiful crockery etc. Lovely little balcony off the kitchen was a super place to sit with a small group. We could all just squeeze round the table in the kitchen - the formal dining room would have been too small for us all. We weren’t rushed out - checkout was 11 but Sarah said we were welcome to stay until 12. Thank you for making it a very special stay in Richmond. I would love to come back! (Actually I’d love to live there….except for the heating and maintenance bills!!)

Summary: Another wonderful stay at Howe Villa. A beautiful home situated on the river, a short distance from Richmond. Perfectly placed for exploring this area of North Yorkshire or for kicking back and simply enjoying the house and gardens. Between the kitchen/ diner, the dining room, the sitting room and the television room there is so much space that it properly suits 13 people staying for a week. There’s a huge room on the ground floor we hardly touched, but if the kids had been younger would have proved useful. Can’t recommend this house more highly.

Summary: The property was fabulous. Huge, clean and well equipped. All the rooms were excellent. The gardens were outstanding with large lawns, a path down to the river for swimming and a really very pleasant riverside walk into town. If wildlife is your thing then the location is excellent, with, for example, kingfishers regularly visible from the kitchen window. Communication from the hosts was first class. We met them by chance in town during the stay and they were lovely people. An excellent week!

Summary: The house doesn’t feel like a holiday house - it feels like the owners have moved out for a week. It feels like a lived-in home. The beds are comfortable, the duvets are down, the kitchen is well equipped, the Wi-Fi works everywhere, the gardens are lovely and the setting on the river is amazing. It’s a short walk along the river into town with impressive views of the castle’s curtain wall as you approach. There were 11 of us (3 families) and a dog. We fitted easily.
