Enjoyable stay in Richmond
Very hospitable staff, food and beer were excellent. Excellent location. Parking was a bit tight, and a bit tortuous to the rooms, but overall it was pretty much as expected, and an enjoyable stay.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

Excellent central location in Richmond. Good price for a two room suite (one room with double bed, another with two singles) and also the fact that breakfast was included in the price.
