Overnight in Richmond.

Invest in your bedrooms

Lovely, friendly and helpful staff and great bar area. Unfortunately the rooms and lack of investment let the place down. Comfy bed and clean sheets but that’s as far is it goes. Broken toilet, dirty bath, kettle had old water in and hallways and carpets really dirty. Unfortunately the place isn’t what it used to be, and really needs some upgrading to the rooms. Definitely didn’t warrant the price we paid, and we’ve been coming many years. Also breakfast a huge let down compared to how it was. A start would be to sort the toaster out!!

The staff were very welcoming and gracious hosts. Especially Michelle, Demi, Elli, and some of the kitchen staff whose names I didn’t catch. Richmond is a beautiful town, the best thing about it being the people.

Our room was on top floor, it was really big! All 3 beds were very comfy, we slept like in the clouds. The room had plenty of tea/ coffee/ biscuits etc. The bathroom was large too. The building had things like chipped paint and dust in staircase etc, but building is a few hundred years old, so some things are hard to modernise. But we had a lovely stay. It was fun flicking through old books in our room. All staff were great. The evening sharing platter in pub downstairs was delicious, as well as breakfast in a lovely Parrot room. Thank you so much!

Very disappointing.

Easy friendly check in but once left the actual bar area the building in very poor condition, carpets on stairs/corridors dirty , paintwork on wall terrible. Room 11 which was ours very dark and dreary , ceilings covered in water stains and loose plaster , paint work chipped everywhere, bathroom very dated and dark and basic. Only mirror available was in the bathroom where obviously there's no power point , luckily I had a small hand mirror in my bag . Four poster bed had comfy mattress but every time you moved it creaked ! Bed linen very clean which was the only thing that kept us from leaving straight away . Car Park only had room for around 6 cars and full when we got there so had to find long stay car park. Can't fault the staff they were friendly. Very very disappointing definitely way over priced at £130 for one night .

Breakfast was from 8 am to 10 am booked breakfast at 9.30 am. When we ordered english breakfast items were unavailable because they ran out of them! The second breakfast was booked for 9.30 am we could not get a seat in th dining room as all tables were being used even after booking our table time! We were made to go down stairs in the bar and have our breakfast down there. Once again we had English breakfast with items unavailable again! No cups left to get a cup of tea as they were all used upstairs had to use a very small coffee cup to use for tea! This is not good enough from this hotel. As a Disabled War pensioner this is very disappointing from this hotel staff!

This is a wonderful traditional inn located within a nice, quiet, walkable village. Wi-Fi and cable television are unreliable, but that's what you get when you are out in the countryside. The dinner we had, along with the breakfast, was wonderful, and we loved taking a stroll near the river and the waterfalls.
