Plum Tree Cottage Richmond Reviews

Emma T.
The location was stunningand Jo and Liam couldn't have been more helpful. We'll definitely come back, thanks! xx
Emma W.
We had such a lovely stay at the cottage! It's beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, with everything we needed and more. Sitting by the fire in the evening was so cosyand the hot tub was a real treat. Watching house martins fly overhead and listening to owls at night was magical. The dark sky was stunningand we even saw bats. Honestly, it felt like a little slice of heaven. We'll definitely be returning. Thanks to Jo and the team for making everything perfect!
Emma Clarke

James
We loved this cottage! The setting was perfect and super private, making it feel like our own little retreat. The kitchen had everything we neededand the bed was truly comfy. The hot tub was straightforward to useand relaxing by the fire with snacks was just what we needed. Our puppy adored the big garden, didn't want to leave! There's plenty to explore nearby, like Richmond and those waterfalls. Honestly, we couldn't find a fault with it. Definitely recommend!
