Pet-friendly summary
9 Tower Street is a charming cottage for a Yorkshire break with a dog. It sits on a peaceful street right in the heart of Richmond, so the cobbled market place, cafés and pubs are all within a short walk, and guests travelling with dogs say they felt at home the moment they arrived. One dog is welcome per booking, and there is an enclosed yard at the back, which makes those last-thing-at-night trips outside much simpler.
Dog owners are consistently full of praise for the cottage itself. It is spotlessly clean, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is described as one of the best equipped they have come across in a holiday let, with thoughtful touches throughout. Families with children and a dog in tow have found it works well for everyone, and a number of guests say they would happily book it again.
Richmond is a great base for walking. There are riverside paths along the Swale and longer routes out into the Dales close by, and dog owners mention both the walks and the number of places in town that made them and their dog feel welcome.
A few practical points are worth knowing before you book. The stairs are steep, so the cottage is not suited to anyone with limited mobility, or perhaps to an older dog that struggles with stairs. There is no dedicated parking, so you will need to find a space nearby. Some dog owners would also have liked a vacuum cleaner in the cottage to keep on top of dog hair during the stay.
For couples or small families bringing one dog who want a well-kept cottage within strolling distance of everything in Richmond, 9 Tower Street earns its 4.7/5 paw rating.
