Hudswell is a small village located just two miles the town of Richmond in Swaledale. Set in rolling countryside, the village boasts a high street with old houses lining the route, and a local pub, the George and Dragon. Like many village pubs, it recently fell on difficult times, so the villagers clubbed together and now run it as a 'Community Pub Initiative'.

Reviews
We stayed in this beautiful cottage in May. It is absolutely gorgeous, very clean and a magnificent welcome pack along with fresh baked scones waiting for you for ‘afternoon tea’. There is a pub in walking distance with lovely home cooked meals or try the Holly Inn just on way to Richmond about 5 minute drive away. Cottage is situated in a beautiful village and not far from Richmond and Catterick. We will definitely be back.
The owner had thought of and provided all of the refinements which turn a comfortable cottage into a true home from home. The best cottage we've stayed in, by far.
Presentation of Cottage was good.We received a warm welcome. Really good Location. Easy to visit Dales to west, or moors to east. Easy to get to from A1 and A66.
The cottage was perfect.
Excellent property, a little hem in a wonderful friendly village. Ideally situated for all amenities and within walking distance of Richmond. It ticked all the boxes we had a fab time. We recommend the village pub, we had an excellent meal and real ales. The shop was staffed by friendly villagers and had everything that we needed.
The cottage was perfect, the best I have ever stayed in! It was really cosy. A lovely owner who met you on arrival and showed you around. We didn't want to leave! We have booked to go again at the end of the year and I'm encouraging lots of friends to go and stay and see for themselves how good it is!
A delightful cottage lacking nothing. We were made to feel at home instantly by the warm welcome from the owner. A lot of thought has gone into presenting a holiday home of the highest standard. Thank you for making our holiday so relaxing.
A superb holiday cottage which was immaculately clean, thoughtfully decorated and well equipped. The host was welcoming. Would highly recommend, thank you.
The accommodation was excellent, warm and inviting. In particular the kitchen was a bright and comfortable environment to prepare and eat meals. The owner gave a good introduction to the property, offered good advice on the area and was on hand to deal with any issues that might arise. Although the weather for our week could be classed as "soggy" we really enjoyed our holiday and will be back, hopefully when the climate is more kind.
We really enjoyed staying in Blacksmith's Cottage, it was very clean and cosy and it had everything we needed. The location was ideal for exploring both the Yorkshire Dales and Moors. We will definitely be looking to stay at this property again in the future.
A cosy well equipped cottage in a beautiful location.
The cottage was beautifully presented and very clean, it is in a fantastic location. We will certainly visit Blacksmith's Cottage again in future.
Had a lovely welcome we had from the owner. The Cottage is so well furnished and comfortable, we could not find any fault. On the whole this is the best cottage we have ever stayed in and we will definitely be going back. We cannot praise it enough.
Had an amazing time at the cottage.
The cottage had everything you need for a great holiday and more. An ideal base for exploring the Dales set in a beautiful and friendly village.
The property was welcoming, comfortable and prepared to a very high standard. It was excellent value for money and located in some of the loveliest countryside in England.
The accommodation was first class and the owners were very friendly. The village pub was excellent & dog friendly.
We have just returned from a relaxing week in Blacksmith's Cottage, a wonderful find. It was cosy, very comfortable, well equipped and in an excellent location for lots of walks and attractions. The locals were very friendly and there is an excellent pub a few doors away. Everything you require is on hand in the cottage, which is maintained to a very high standard. Our Jack Russell was comfortable too!
This cottage has been recently converted and offers homely and luxurious accommodation in this hill top village, 5 minutes drive from Richmond. It is very well equipped with up to date quality appliances and all those little extras to make you feel at home. The owners were very welcoming. There were many country walks from the doorstep and the local pub only yards away served excellent beer and food. Best Sunday Lunch we have eaten in years! We would love to return again for a relaxing break.
The owners of this property should be very proud of what they have on offer. Everything about the cottage is first class. What a great place to stay, the surrounding area is really nice as well.
Liked the location and the high standard of the accommodation. Cottage was only 1 minute walk from an excellent pub and within a 5 minute drive of Richmond.
Blacksmith's cottage was absolutely perfect for our quiet relaxing weekend, it ticked all the boxes.
The accommodation was charming and excellently furnished with many thoughtful additions for our comfort and relaxation. The hospitality was more than expected with personal attention and touches such as a welcome pack especially for us. We would love to return at sometime.
The Cottage was light, comfortable and immaculately clean. It was very well equipped, a home from home. It is set within a pretty friendly village with a dog friendly pub just up the road who serve excellent food.
Beautiful setting and tranquility.
The Cottage had everything we needed, it was beautiful inside and very clean and comfortable. The owners made us feel very welcome.
This beautiful cottage far exceeded both my husband's and my expectations. As soon as we arrived we were blown away with how amazing it was. It was refurbished and furnished to a very high standard and a great deal of money and thought had gone into the layout. The Cottage was very warm - in addition to the log burner in the sitting room there were also wall heaters in every room. In the kitchen everything was available from detergent down to bin liners, we just had to supply our own food. The bathroom boasted a large shaped bath with two overhead showers, one as large as a dinner plate and the other a small one that could be hand held. It had a heated towel rail plus underfloor heating. Carefully positioned skylights had been fitted throughout the Cottage which gave the cottage incredible light during the day. Outside the French windows at the back of the Cottage was a small enclosed patio with potted plants which were tended to regularly. There was also a very beautiful table and chairs for us to use if we chose to eat outside. Outside the front of the cottage was a black wrought iron bench as well. As well as the usual TV, Freeview and DVD player we also had the use of a CD player and WiFi had been fitted the week before we arrived. This proved to be very reliable. DVD's, games, books and local brochures were also all supplied.
Gorgeous cottage with lots of lovely welcoming touches, we felt very much at home.
Everything you could possibly need, like home from home. Lovely welcome from a lovely couple, the whole village were very friendly.
