Peaceful, traditional, reliable. Breakfast is far too expensive, however there are many options a short walk away in Richmond including the likes of Ottolenghi. The water pressure is low so showering is not such a pleasant experience. Finally, door closing is noisy though luckily we had considerate neighbours. All that said, we will visit again as we loved it in all its imperfections.

Stunning hotel in a beautiful location. The hotel is quintessentially English and I was in awe of the interior. Just stunning. And the view of the river is just as beautiful. Lovely walk by the river each day on my trip to town. Staff were wonderful too. Felt very welcome and taken care of. One thing to keep in mind is the property doesn't have air con. My room was very hot and stuffy. I had a fan on all night. We did have a couple of warm days but the hotel was considerably warmer even when the temperature had dropped.

Love the Petersham

It was our second time at the Petersham and we loved it as much this time as last time. We love that it is privately owned and not part of a chain. Our room was exactly as we expected - well decorated, clean and welcoming. The breakfast is great and it’s nice to have table service instead of a buffet for a change. Lovely location and free parking too! Our only complaint was not enough water pressure in the shower. We’ll definitely return.

I have had many meals at this hotel when my dad lived nearby but I have never stayed here. It was lovely. The room was large, comfy and beautifully decorated. But, unfortunately, far too cold to sit out on the balcony. The staff were helpful and the breakfast large. I will be back again, there is so much to do locally.

Great stay but room for some improvements

Great hotel location and rooms. Enjoyed our stay but there is plenty of room for improvement. Such as service in Restuarant is poor. And rooms are very cold, and there was quite draft coming from windows. Otherwise pleasant enough
