Homelands Guest House

The property has quiet street views and is 11 km from Raby Castle and 24 km from Richmond Castle. The accommodation features luggage storage space and bicycle parking for guests. I loved the style of the decorations. Even though I only stayed for 2 nights I enjoyed my stay at Homelands. Because my flight got delayed, I couldn't arrive at the check-in hour. The owners were so kind and gave me and upgrade for a room I could easily acces when coming late. Also the food at breakfast was delicious and you could order in advance what you want so you wouldn't have to wait for it in the morning.
