1 / 24The Artist's Retreat - Richmond
Moulton, North Yorkshire
A Grade II listed cottage for four in the village of Moulton, one dog welcome, with a wood burner, an enclosed walled garden and everything on a single level.
The Artist's Retreat, a pretty cottage listed Grade II, sits in the North Yorkshire village of Moulton, beautifully presented, with stylish interiors that mix period charm and modern comfort. Dog friendly and beautifully kept, it sleeps four, welcomes a single dog, and its charming walled garden is enclosed, with a lawn and a sheltered stone patio.
An elegant entrance hall leads to the welcoming lounge, a cosy room with plenty of comfy seats and a wood burner, plus a Smart TV and DVD player for the evenings. Long before the car is unpacked, the dog has claimed the spot nearest the fire. The living space flows into a stylish, tastefully decorated kitchen with an attractive dining table.
Everything is on a single level. The two characterful, spacious bedrooms each have a super king that unzips into twins on request and a charming feature fireplace, one with an en suite bathroom and the other its own shower room. Out in the walled garden, lunch or a morning coffee happens on the patio while the dog explores the lawn, and for anyone the name inspires, the owner runs regular painting classes from her studio.
Richmond, 7 miles away, has its castle, great restaurants, pubs and independent shops, and the Yorkshire Dales begin within 8 miles for nature lovers and walkers with a dog in tow. Middleton Tyas and the other pretty villages nearby, the North Pennines, the North York Moors and the towns of Northallerton, Thirsk and Yarm on the River Tees all make good days out.

Is The Artist's Retreat - Richmond dog friendly?
Yes, one dog is welcome at The Artist's Retreat. The cottage is entirely on one level, so your dog has the run of the whole place — lounge, kitchen, dining room — without any stairs to navigate or doors that need keeping closed. There's also a walled garden at the back, laid to lawn and stone, reached without a step.
Are dogs allowed at The Artist's Retreat - Richmond year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the cottage's setup — wood burner in the lounge, sheltered walled garden — suits a dog-friendly stay in any season.
What should I know before visiting The Artist's Retreat - Richmond with my dog?
One dog is welcome, and the single-storey layout means there are no stairs and no need to shuttle a dog between floors — a genuinely practical setup rather than just a policy. The walled garden is a good spot for them to settle, and nearby Stanwick — a vast Brigantian earthwork just west of Moulton — offers a full circuit walk where dogs are welcome and you're unlikely to meet many others.
