    There was an issue with the heating too hot first night none existant second which was remedied by staff.

    Our stay was very good even down to the car parking behind accessed from main road. All the food we ate was brilliant and my husband's coeliac needs(GF) were fully met. Our room was very comfortable.

    The heating in our room didn’t work, we told the staff but nothing was done.

    The location is perfect and the free parking was a great bonus. Food is delicious would highly recommend eating here.

    It was a tired building and the food was ok. My bathroom taps were loose and I couldn’t adjust the shower. This was disappointing.

    Dog friendly. Nice staff. Good location. Parking.

    Bed was too soft and pretty uncomfortable there was one window in the room which was totally frosted which made the room feel like a cupboard

    Location, staff and food are faultless

    There are only a few parking spaces. It would have been helpful to know where else you could park. Could this be put on the website?

    Lovely, friendly staff. Breakfast was great with local produce. The room was cosy and clean.

    The C/H was broken but as soon as we reported it we were given a portable heater which soon warmed the room and the heating was soon repaired. The stairs are steep and a little uneven, but this is to be expected in such an old building, so if you are not so good on your feet ask for a lower room.

    In good location, with good sized rooms, with excellent coffee/tea selection and a generous amount of milk provided, none of the stingy one carton per drink. Good choice of food for breakfast, we are in properly on the evening and there was a 2 course for 15.00 offer which was excellent value. Good location on a busy side street, we were able to park on the property at the Rae of the building.

    Rooms quite small and dark check in is at 3pm but mix up with keys meant one of our rooms wasn't ready till 4pm so we were hanging about. Breakfast now self serve tea coffee and make your own toast which was abit awkward when breakfast room was full.

    Great location with parking good breakfast lovely clean bedding

    High bath side and non adjustable shower. Alright for a couple of days. Lots of dogs in the hotel. You get allocated on arrival so you don't know if your room had animals in it. Probably worth asking for a non dog room if that's a problem for you. The top flower has a steep staircase. Ask to not be in room 14 or 15 if the stairs are a problem. Bar prices are higher then other pubs in the town.

    Location and car park. Right in the middle of Richmond and everything is close by. Nice bar.
